HERITAGE CITY PARK 119 W. Woodward Parker, KS 66072 (913) 898-2710 We are very proud of our park. It was built entirely by private donations of time and money and fundraising events over the past 15 or so years put on by a group of determined people who now make up the Heritage Park Board. Something unique you will want to see at the park is the cement work for sidewalks and floors for the shelter and gazebo. Squares, 10’x10’, were sold to the public to be personally decorated with their own design and family history. It’s really special. You can reserve the shelter house and/or gazebo by filling out an application at City Hall or printing out an application to complete. You can bring it to City Hall in person, mail it, or email a completed copy to cityhall@parkerks.com . You will also need to pay a refundable $25.00 deposit. After your event, if the park is left in order, your deposit will be refunded. Rules and Regulations for Use Application and Agreement to Reserve
