Olathe's Two Trails Park will get a universally inclusive playground
The Daily Olathe team
If you take kids to Two Trails Park, Variety KC announced Thursday that the park will get a universally inclusive playground. It's the third site in the charity's Ten Parks Project. Variety KC chose the park for its central location, lively surrounding neighborhood and amenities families already use, including ball fields, a skate park and a large shelter.

The City of Olathe is an official partner and is contributing 20% of the park's cost. The Olathe Reporter says construction is set to begin in summer 2027, and that renderings and designs will stay unavailable until Variety KC moves forward.
- Also new: a restroom with a universal changing table
- Also new: pathways connecting the park's spaces
