Goodnow Park

This neighborhood park was named after Isaac T. Goodnow, one of Manhattan's early founders and one of the organizers of Bluemont College, which is now Kansas State University.

The park is home to a modern playground, a shelter for group gatherings, and a tricycle loop. The park also includes picnic tables and ample open space that allows for a variety of outdoor activities.
