When a drop of rain falls on the Lenexa civic campus, it begins a long and busy journey to the heart of the City Center Watershed. Across the watershed, the City of Lenexa uses traditional stormwater treatment methods paired with natural solutions to clean and carry this rainfall to its destination.
Lenexa's Raindrop Walk is a self-guided walking tour that takes you on the journey of a raindrop. From the Lenexa Rec Center's main entrance to a bridge over the creek that carries water to Shawnee Mission Lake, you will venture across six stops throughout the 0.55 mile walk (1.1 miles round trip).
At each sign, you'll learn what challenges we face in protecting our water supply, how Lenexa treats rain runoff and ways you can help improve water quality at home — many of which you can receive reimbursement for through our Cost Share Program. Learn more about each of the six stops below.
