From the Emporia website Peter Pan Park, located on the south side of Emporia between South Congress and South West Streets, is a 51.7-acre park with a rich history. Donated by William Allen White in memory of his daughter, Mary, the park includes a 4-acre lake and features several historically significant elements, such as a memorial to White and a bronze bust by sculptor Jo Davidson. The park was also once home to Monkey Island, a refuge for freed circus monkeys. Over the years, it has served as a filming location and venue for various events. The picturesque Boathouse is a popular spot for weddings, while the adjacent Amphitheater hosts concerts, plays, and other performances. Peter Pan Park offers numerous amenities, including picnic areas like the Kiwanis shelter, a "Toadstool" shelter, and the renovated Arbor, all equipped with charcoal burners. The park also features a Splash Pad, an 18-basket disc golf course, ball fields, playground equipment, a comfort station, and drinking fountains with bottle fillers. Recent revitalization efforts have included the reconstruction of the lake, which now offers excellent fishing opportunities.
