STAFF HIGHLIGHT!
Hey! My name is Kristina Keehn, and I am a Park Worker II. After graduating from K-State with degrees in Park Management & Conservation and Natural Resource & Environmental Science, I returned to KC and came to work at Johnson County Park and Recreation District. I’ve enjoyed being part of building this park from the ground up. I have a passion for native plants and can most often be found in the landscaping beds surrounding the Clubhouse. While not at work, I like running and fitness, traveling, coaching Cross Country and spending time with my family!
Come meet Kristina at our Gardening classes! She will be teaching Fall Planters and Spring Garden Planning.
