Naftzger Park offers a contemporary and communal gathering space in downtown Wichita with enough variety to appeal to everyone.

A flexible lawn encourages active play as well as relaxed lounging. And a designated “bark park” offers a place for local dog owners to mingle. The park quietly contributes to the resilience of the city’s infrastructure with its stormwater cistern and, once the newly planted trees mature, will function as a future urban forest.
