Love this park. Beautiful pond, walking trails, and amenities (playground, beer garden, tennis/pickleball, racketball, etc). Plus, it's home to several events throughout the year, including Brew in the Lou!

Amazing park, has a beautiful small lotus pond. Has squash / handball courts (I think). A few tennis and a few pickleball courts, these two which are right next to the beer garden that has amazing pizza and coffee. Closed down for the winter but such a cool spot during the summer. It has a nice big playground for kids as well and ample distance to walk. Such a nice neighborhood around. They also have great events probably a couple times a month. I think it’s my favorite park in St. Louis.

Wonderful city park! Great place to take a walk, stroll with your pup, or play pickle ball. Clean park! Make sure that you follow the directions to park on the angle facing out if you wish to avoid a costly parking ticket.

Big park with a long outer edge sidewalk. Included a short inner walkway too. Plenty of parking, trash bins, and drinking fountains for people and pets! Lots of big beautiful houses all around

I bet the water feature is really neat in the summer. It was drained for the season, but still neat sculptures. Beautiful mature trees. All different kinds. The maples were beautiful in the center of the park. This rural lady needed nature and the park delivered nature in a city. Nice playground for kids, tennis courts, gazebo, benches.
