Confirmed from Raven Ridge Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Casual neighborhood park featuring a playground, a basketball court and walking trails.
What runners say about Raven Ridge Park
“This is a small park, but is always well maintained and clean.”
“Love this place! Great for running laps or riding your bike around the path.”
Very neat and clean. Nice park for walking my dog, or by myself. Well maintained, but only like 4 parking spots. Great place to take kids or pets
One of the first parks my daughter fell in love with when we moved to Olathe, this one is still a regular for us. The walking path around it leaves the playground visible (and within yelling distance) throughout. Conveniently, there's a gas station a short bit away for last minute snacks, drinks, or bathroom trips.
This is a great neighborhood park. Playground is great for kids who love to climb. Large grass area for those who love to run around. Horse shoe pits (Didn't know this was still a thing). Water fountain for both humans and pets. Four picknic table shelter and an extra large two sided open grill.
Very nice park. Clean the walking loop is well paved and maintained. There is plenty to do there, half basketball court, tennis court, volleyball court and a full playground for children. Shelter house is clean and well maintained. A really nice place to go with your family.
