Big Bull Creek Park
Big Bull Creek Park celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 22, 2018. The park totals 2,060 acres and is the largest park in the Johnson County Park and Recreation District (JCPRD) park system. Located between Edgerton and Gardner, Kansas in southwest Johnson County, the vision for Big Bull Creek Park is to transform the property into a destination park like no other.
JCPRD will focus on nature-based learning, play, and restoration, which supports and compliments not only the immediate neighboring communities but JCPRD's park system as a whole.
Phase One Development - Three Areas
