Thompson Park
Master Plan

Client
City of Overland Park
Location
Overland Park, KS
Size
4 acres

RDG collaborated with the city staff, City Council, Steering Committee and citizens of Overland Park to develop a master plan for Thompson Park, a 3.8-acre park in the heart of downtown.

Four guiding principles were core to the master plan: appreciate the greenspace, become a definitive park destination, anticipate the future and support the downtown. RDG proposed four initial plan options to the community, including two that recommended moving the city's farmers market to the park from its current downtown location. "Park Stroll," a design that did not include a farmer's market, was selected from the options.
