Confirmed from Santa Marta 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.
Playground along with picnic tables and a walking trail are featured at this landscaped space.
What runners say about Santa Marta Park
“The park was super clean and very well taken care of.”
This is a very new park in east Olathe. Fairly small park but nice playground and nice walking trail around it with a rock Brooke that's normally dry through the middle.
Nice new park with a pavilion, a cute normally dry creek, nice walking trail, plenty of grass to run around on, is accessible from the Homestead Apartments walking trail, and features a nicely done obstacle course. No swings though. Also do look out for birdy messes on the picnic tables.
Nice little park with lots of room to run and play! The play set is an active climbing structure that could fit kids 5-12 yro. No bathrooms at this site, tho the do have picnic tables under a shelter with a BBQ and drinking fountain for people and dogs
Small little park. The loop around the park is less than a quarter of a mile. It has a playground and a shelter. There is no parking lot, but there are a few parking spots on the street.
