Hawthorn Park

Centrally located. Large park with a couple of play areas. It has a kiddie pool in the summer. Shaded by a lot of large beautiful trees. It has a few baseball fields for summer fun. Public bathroom and free parking.

Will be great when the trees grow for more shade on a hot Kansas day. Did not see a public restroom. Grandkids had a great time but could not use the slides do to all bring in direct sunlight. The stream was beautiful.

I grow up in this park. Played ball swing climb up in thing even wade in little pool. That not only thing I did I rode horse up there to make money when I was about 12 years old with the neighborhood kids. What is so amazing is my son Daniel Jost at the of 14 dedicated the wheelchair swing with the St Mary College students from the class of 2015-2017 Doctor of physical therapy. They raised over $2000 to put this swing in Hawthorne Park 2 years ago. Daniel Jost got honor of this deed because he was the only child in Lv school district 453 in a wheelchair. My son has Spinda Bifida. This took the students sometime to raise this money I think over a year to raise it. I was talking about this Hawthorne Park when I was kid and this where Daniel and the student pick this park to go. There a lot of history behind that park. I'm hoping to get this picture in here to. The one I did forget to say and that Daniel got his picture taking with the Mayor Lisa Weakley. The students got a certificate for the good job they did.
