Central Park - A diverse neighborhood with historic small town flair.
Welcome to Central Park
Topeka, Kansas
Our Vision
The housing stock within the Central Park neighborhood attracts a diverse population, from young families to retirees. Historical properties are well-preserved and appreciated for the benefit of future generations. Neighbors get to know each other and help each other and help each other through community-based volunteer support. The park, alleys, and streets are well-lit at night and are inviting for residents who wish to take evening strolls. The park and its pond serve as a community center provides a retreat for summer activities, after school programs, community socials, and classes for residents of all ages. Homeowners, landlords, and renters in the neighborhood take pride in their properties and compete for community sponsored beautification awards.

Topeka's Great Mural Wall Project
You are invited to take part in a historic event not just in Topeka but for the whole state! We have joined with Chesney Park, Weed and Seed, Safe Streets, and several other community groups to help create what will be the largest public mural in the state, located on Western Ave. behind the ExpoCentre. Stop by to enjoy the art work.
Here is the panel designed by Central Park and created by David Lowenstein:
Join us for the dedication ceremony on Sept 28th at 1:00pm!
This will be added to the 2007 panels below
Described as a paint-by-numbers-ish process, David will show you what to do where. Meet people interested in neighborhood improvement and lend support to one of the coolest things to hit Topeka in a while.
