It's a small and humble park with some great features like a dog park and plenty of open grass/space. The one thing you seems to be lacking is much shade. I'm a big fan of parks with shade features or a canopy of trees. I loved seeing some volunteers there planting flowers during our visit. They have a few benches and a playscape that accommodates a wide range of ages.

After recently moving to the area, I found this park in Maps or on Yelp. It was pretty much what I…read morewas looking for, small enough to feel comfortable that I could properly supervise both of my small children at the same time without my husband being able to come & help, but with enough play area that they would enjoy it. It was a close to a busy road, which made me a little uncomfortable, but my children were so interested in the park that I found I didn't have to worry too much. My 3 year old was disappointed that there were "no friends." If you're looking for a quiet place to throw a couple hotdogs on the grill & let your children play, this is nice. If your children want more interaction with other children, you may want to try a more well known park. :-)

Just off Route 55 on Arsenal, you may think this is a small park that offers residents very little. But you'd be wrong! Running through the park's undulating hills, you will find ample space to host socially distanced picnics or add extra distance to your runs. A quick history of the park: Benton Park's site was originally set aside for a City cemetery at the time of the sale of land in the old St. Louis Commons in 1836. Benton Park was created by City Ordinance in 1866 after the founding of Bellefontaine and Calvary Cemeteries in North St. Louis made possible this transformation into a well shaded and popular pleasure area. In its early history it was difficult to maintain a supply of water in this lake because of its proximity to "English Cave". The lake was drained and all crevasses which had occasioned leakage were filled with concrete. Today though the artificial lake is actually a focal point of the park. It is well maintained and is home to many ducks that you often see people feeding. Apparently there are fish in the small man made lake and fishing is permitted. According to the city's site, the lake is restocked with fish every two to four years. Personally, I'm not trying to fish out of a city lake, but I'm sure there are plenty of people looking for that type of recreation. The park also has other forms of recreation including tennis courts along Jefferson. There is a fairly large playground that appears to be new and well maintained. I like to do hillwork on my runs in Benton Park. It offers plenty of steep climbs and short downhills. The park is not typically as crowded as other major parks in our city, so it's actually a great place to sunbathe if you're a tad shy in public like me. Thanks to the lush greenery and picturesque bridge over the water, Benton Park would also be a great place for a photoshoot as you wouldn't be combating people in the background. Can't wait to take photos of the trees in the fall. The colors reflecting off the water are going to be spectacular.

Norman Myers is a so-so city park encompassing about 10-1/2 acres, most of it open green space…read more There are two dirt baseball/softball fields, two playgrounds, a gravel walking trail, and a picnic pavilion. Except for one ball field and the trail that circles the park all amenities are at one end. For eastbound visitors along Midland or Lackland roads that's not a problem. Westbound travelers have a difficult u-turn where Midland and Lackland cross and form an 'X' intersection. An option is using Millet Drive to the east. However, entering that way feels like you're going opposite the normal traffic flow on the one lane drive/lot.

Since the beginning of COVID-19 we haven't gone as frequently because the playground equipment is obviously roped off, but I love to visit solo in the morning when I'm on a walk. There is a beautiful little pond here and if you're out walking early, you can enjoy the scenery without a lot of other people around. When we aren't in the midst of a pandemic, we love to come here, sit on the benches, and watch our kiddos play on the equipment. It's a great little playground and never seems too crowded. There are picnic tables and a lot of places to sit, and it's always filled with lots of happy families. Aside from the pond, there is a TON of green, flat space that's perfect for a family kickball game or a picnic. I love that this park is hidden in a neighborhood. It helps it not get overcrowded and makes it feel a little more special. We're grateful to have Lewis Park so close!
