Sapling Grove Park Trail Walk
A trail walk thru the Sapling Grove Park in Overland Park, Kansas, on a warm Wednesday afternoon on December 1st, 2021. This park has a cozy little trail with two nice bridges that span over the creek that runs through the park. I also walked a wood trail full of leaves, which part of the trail goes right along the edge of the creek. If you mis-step along the top ridge of the trail, you could tumble down into the creek. You better have good balance in that area.
Sapling Grove Park: 8210 Grant Avenue (at 83rd Street)
Since the late 1820s, Sapling Grove, located on the headwaters of Turkey Creek, was a significant campsite on the Santa Fe Trail. George Sibley, an Indian agent who was commissioned to survey the trail in 1825-27, included Sapling Grove on his list of campsites. Sapling Grove was the rendezvous point for the Bidwell-Bartleson group, the first caravan of families to head west on the trail in 1841. Overnight travelers camped on the hill where Comanche Elementary School now stands. This 21-acre park was known in recent years as Comanche Park. In 2003, however, the city renamed the park after a local teenager petitioned for a name change to honor the Sapling Grove campground.
