Accessibility & Inclusion
In Overland Park, we understand the importance of accessibility for all.
Everyone deserves a seat at the table. And a place on the trail, in the pool, and at the museum...you get it.
Here, accessibility isn’t an afterthought. It’s woven into the fabric of the city, making travel more enjoyable, inclusive, and welcoming for all.
The Overland Park Convention Center is the first in the world to feature a KultureCity-approved sensory room, offering a calming retreat for neurodiverse, autistic, and disabled attendees.
The Indian Creek and Tomahawk Creek Trails stretch for miles through parks and neighborhoods with fully wheelchair-accessible paths and parking at every trailhead.
At Strang Park, the city’s newest green space, kids of all abilities can explore Overland Park’s first inclusive playground.
Families love Saturday Swim at Tomahawk Ridge Aquatic Center, when city pools open early just for people with disabilities and their families.
At the Johnson County Museum, Sensory Friendly Mondays provide limited-occupancy sessions designed especially for children with sensory processing differences and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
A Commitment to Inclusion
Overland Park is proud to be recognized by the Human Rights Campaign, earning a 93 out of 100 on the Municipal Equality Index in 2022.
For three straight years, the city has scored in the 90s, reflecting ongoing efforts to expand non-discrimination protections, prevent youth bullying, and provide LGBTQ-diversity training for law enforcement and city personnel.
