Amazing place for nature lovers. Beautiful trees, plants and birds. Great for family gatherings, meditation, and romantic time with your special friend.

Forest Park does many things and does them all wonderfully. The zoo is extensive and free. The Shakespeare theater puts on wonderful productions and is free. The art gallery is full of gorgeous works by legendary artists and is free. In fact everything beside the golf is free. And it's beautiful.

Taylor Park is a charming small park in the neighborhood, perfect for relaxation. It has water available and offers nice spots for reading, all conveniently located near home.

Tranquil park. Love the fountain and the MLK statue. If you go during the warmer weather you may be able to watch different types of insects (including some really interesting hornets) drink from the fountain. I hope to come spend some more quality quiet time here soon.

This is huge park, the biggest in St. Louis. There are two free museums and a planetarium, as well as some sculptures, and a few caffee around the park. It is a bit empty for my taste, and I'd prefer Central Park in NYC.

Great place in the central, makes you feel close to nature. It’s our weekend gateway with our dog, he really enjoys this place. Lovely foot bridges, fountains and many more. One can visit zoo, museum, pagoda circle. Forest park is vast and it offers as much as you explore..Totally love it and highly recommend.

Beautiful urban park with so much to do. There is hiking, kayaking, museums, tennis, zoo, and more. There is a free visitor parking and you can park there and do the 15min walk to the zoom and spend that parking money on other things. I love urban parks and I'd be here everyday if I lived in the area.

I have been going to St Louis since 1991, and I can't believe this year I have just discovered Forest Park. From the zoo, to the art museum, and the park itself which is beautiful with many walking trails and places to relax, it is a must see when in St Louis. It's an easy ride on the light rail from the airport. There are many other attractions there as well, a lagoon with pedal boats you can take out, as well as a restaurant. It's on the site of the 1904 world's Fair and there is a history museum on site which has an area dedicated to that. Walking and biking trails, and restrooms. Check it out You won't be disappointed.

Cute little park nestled in the middle of a neighborhood. We worked a Juneteenth celebration there with a host of other organizations. The large fountain in the park still runs.

The dog park looked a little rough but would bring my dog here if it was free. Definitely wouldnt pay for it like they want you too. The rest of the place awesome!! Must visit!!

The Saint Louis Zoo is a fantastic place to visit! The zoo is very nice, with a wide variety of animals and well-maintained exhibits. If you want to see everything, I highly recommend arriving in the morning and starting your walk early. This will give you plenty of time to explore all the attractions at a comfortable pace. It's a great experience for families and individuals alike. Highly recommended!

Peaceful, smack dab in the middle of the West End. Place to be alone with your thoughts,

Stumbled upon this beautiful neighborhood driving north on Euclid in order to turn around and go south, decided to circle around on Fountain avenue. Love the MLK statue. Additionally, the delmar divide has always intrigued me. This would be a good area to live in because rent would probably be cheaper than the CWE and all the restaurants and shops are walkable too.

Park is spacious, simple, and exciting. The main play area has lots of climbing elements of all difficulty ,kids of all ages would enjoy; there is also smaller play area nearby for tots. Other features include:water play area, swings, baseball field, open fields, bathrooms, etc. Located in chill neighborhood. Definitely worth a visit.

Very small park featuring 4 tables and some benches. Poorly maintained as of right now, everything is covered in bird poop and mashed berries. Fountain is off or broken.

Did not know that there was a MLK Jr statue in our city. Wish it was in a larger or more visible location in our city.

The main attraction is the meditation labyrinth. Very peaceful and pleasant spot just off Lindell. It's really 5 stars when the fountain is going and cleaned up a bit.

Amazing neighborhood park. Well maintained (the city just renovated the pavilion/bathrooms). Killer splash pad, great playground, and sports fields for soccer leagues, baseball field, and basketball courts. Even a dog park.

A really peaceful and secluded park for such a busy area. Lots of shade and well thought-out seating. The labyrinth was also really fun and calming!

So some reviews mentioned the “labyrinth”... it’s just a few lines carved into the stonework floor. 🙄 The whole park is the size of a large living room. Probably a nice place to sit on a bench once all the bushes are leafed out, but there’s literally nothing else to see or do.

Great park. They have a baseball and soccer field. Water play area in summer and full playground. Its not full of trash and they have bathrooms with working lights and toilets😁. Also water fountains that work. Everything is pretty much spaced out and crowded.

I love this little park. The playground is nice and almost always has other kids to play with. The splash pad during the summer is super fun.
Sadly the restrooms are currently out of order and that's hard to deal with with a 4 yr old.

Take your tinder date here! It is such a beautiful calming view, the overwhelming relaxation provided by the landscaping and canopy of lights will make harvesting their kidneys much easier.

Juneteenth celebration was held here. Bouncy house, vendors, music and food. Nice common space in a neat oval location.

Getting better and better every year. Many thanks to Christine Ingrassia, DeSales Community Housing and community volunteers for cleaning up the park and bringing soccer and TBALL back for the little people of our community. Water park is adorable and fun and our playground is top notch. There is a dog park (members only) and lots of room to run around even when there are games on the field. New Dimensions Soccer and the YMCA will be there this spring summer and fall for Soccer and Red Bird Rookies will be there this spring for the kids baseball league.

There are security cameras in the park, as well.

Now, about those bathrooms............. 😛😕 let's try to keep them cleaner. Pleeeeease😊

Ohhh...yes, almost forgot - there will also be a food truck with inexpensive healthy eats for the games. Last year the food was so Yummy!

Hope to see you there!!!!
