As a part of AARP's 60th Anniversary, AARP launched an ambitious effort in 2019 to create 53 fitness parks – one each in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These AARP Sponsored Outdoor Fitness Parks Organized by FitLot are designed for adaptive use by people with a wide range of abilities and exercise needs.
Willow Park is located along SW 6th Street just north of the University of Kansas St. Francis campus. The park includes playground equipment, a FitLot exercise park donated by AARP, .5 miles of walking paths and park benches.
