About Overland Park Kansas
Overland Park is the biggest city in Johnson County, Kansas—about two hundred and twenty thousand people, eighteen thousand acres, forty miles of paved trails, and the fastest-growing job market this side of the river. Founded in eighteen sixty-nine as a railroad whistle-stop, it now hosts two Fortune-five hundred headquarters, the country's second-largest Apple store, and the Deanna Rose petting zoo that's older than Disneyland.
History
Overland Park was a community planned as a railroad suburb in 1905, just south of Kansas City. For its first fifty years, it was quite farmland, until the post-war rush. Incorporated in 1960 with 28,000 people, it doubled every ten years and closed the century as Kansas' second-largest city, with schools, subdivisions, and safe streets.
Parks and Recreation
Overland Park has eighty-three parks totaling twenty-four hundred acres, eighty-five miles of trail, and the three hundred-acre Arboretum—native trees, ponds, trout streams. Kids hit Deanna Rose Farmstead for goats and pony rides; teens play at the Bluhawk turf fields; adults swim at Matt Ross Community Center or tee off at Bluejacket and Ironhorse golf. Concerts, dog parks, winter skating—everything's within five minutes.
The Community
Overland Park has a population of about 220,000. 45% of residents volunteer annually; community centers host more than 15,000 class enrollments each year. Homeownership rate is 68%; average household size is 2.6. Crime is low—fewer than four violent crimes per thousand people.
The City
Overland Park operates as a council-manager city with a mayor and twelve council members (two per ward). The city manager runs day-to-day operations, and the public works department handles everything from snow plows to streetlights across 580 lane-miles of road. They maintain 2,400 acres of parks, collect trash/recycling weekly, run the municipal water system (no fluoride fights here), and keep the fiber-optic network humming for city buildings and public Wi-Fi hotspots. In 2025, they finished the $42 million Antioch Road interchange and launched curbside glass recycling—pretty much the gold standard for Johnson County infrastructure.
