Elvis is alive and well and hanging out at West Flanders Park in Shawnee, Kansas. This well maintained park is a great spot to have a picnic, take a stroll, let the kids swing, play on the castle or just plain relax! Feel free to pack a lunch and picnic at the shelter. Please be sure and load up the picnic basket with peanut butter, bacon and banana sandwiches, southern fried pickles, meat-loaf, ring-dings, mashed tater's, a Diet-Coke and some Tums (the Tum's are optional). After your light snack, feel free to walk off a few pounds on beautiful, tree-lined walking trail. The city of Shawnee is a great place to shop, dine, visit, relax, work and raise a family. Thank you. Thank you very much.
