Events › Walk and Read at Strang Park

The Walk and Read at Strang Park is posted year round! In partnership with Johnson County Library, Johnson County Health and Environment Services and the City of Overland Park, this initiative features two stories displayed along a paved path at Strang Park, located behind Central Resource Library. Participants can enjoy a leisurely walk while reading the stories, with one story leading from the Library to the playground and the second story leading from the playground back to the Library.
