Support and enjoy the Arboretum
The Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens was founded to keep the city at the forefront of environmental and ecological issues. A leader of environmentally sound community development, the Arboretum is an educational, recreational and cultural resource for the Kansas City region.
About 85 percent of the property is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of natural ecosystems. The remaining portion includes traditional botanical gardens, the Environmental Education Visitors Center (EEVC) and maintenance facilities.
Our Arboretum was recently selected by KC Parent Magazine as a Family-Friendly Grand Prize winner. The award was based on the magazine's 2008 Family Favorites poll. Results were tabulated from more than 300 ballots.
