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. Future plans aim to further improve accessibility, rebuild structures, and enhance the park's overall aesthetics.
