Meadowbrook Park-goers have likely noticed recent headway on two prominent attractions at the park in Prairie Village.
The upshot: A sculpture created by Kansas City-based artist Amie Jacobsen is now on display at the park at 9101 Nall Avenue, and a new inclusive playground is also just about finished.
- The sculpture, entitled “Gateway,” is a sunflower-shaped archway with vibrant yellow-and-orange petals and panels on the archway’s interior telling a bit about the history of the area.
- The inclusive playground near the northeast end of the park is nearing completion, as well, officials with the Johnson County Park and Recreation District says.
Playground details: Richard Smalley, JCPRD spokesperson, told the Post the playground is anticipated to open in November.
- There are some final pieces to finish, as well as inspections to pass, Smalley said.
- The playground is fenced in, and is part of the park’s second phase of development.
- That phase also includes a new shelter, a parking lot, an ADA-accessible restroom and free-standing shade structures.

Jacobsen’s sculpture is located just the south of the park’s main clubhouse.
