  • Antioch Park was I believe the first park operated by Johnson County parks and rec. A nice park in a wooded setting. Back in the 1960s they had a US Navy Hellcat parked near the "dodge city" buildings and we kids climbed all over that. Fished the pond many times. Over the years the park has been refurbed and upgraded, and the pond has been drained and refilled. Named for the street it lies on...Antioch Road. The park also hosts the large rustic stone building that is the JOCO parks and rec HQ.
