The 1/2-acre space includes a playground with an old swing set, small picnic pavilion, and a horseshoe pit. Wright Avenue is a somewhat busy street between the airport and St. Charles Rock Road. But, there's no safety fence around the park's playground. Street parking. No restrooms.

They've got the poop bags at the beginning of the trail (always a good sign). You can go either of two directions to start. It's not crazy big but it's a nice place go come back to once in a while. There's a bit of water, and a few benches around. You could even have lunch if you so desired. Enjoy your visit! I know your doggie will appreciate it!! :)

The 127-acre park in north St. Louis is an unpolished gem in the city's parks system. Located…read moreelsewhere in St. Louis the expansive park might shine with well maintained gardens, floral features, fresh paint, and renovated early 19th-century buildings to show off their charms. Central among the rolling hills and mature trees are the fishing lake and small island. The park also has a football field, tennis courts, inclusive playground with splash pad, and multiple picnic pavilions as well as open green spaces. A rec center is on the edge of the park. It includes an indoor walking track, fitness equipment, indoor and outdoor water features, basketball courts, meeting rooms, and other amenities. Nestled against Interstate 70 there's a park entrance on Carrie Ave. that crosses the highway. The main entrance is at the corner of West Florissant and Harris. The rec center connects to the park but also has its own West Florissant entrance. Unnecessary one-way streets with few directional signs are the biggest issues of the park. Just inside the West Florissant main entrance the road forks. Take the left fork and you're on a short one-way road out of the park. The right fork starts a large, one-way loop around the lake even though the road is wide enough for street parking and two-way traffic. Directional signs are scarce. I discovered too late I was driving the wrong way on a branch loop from the main road. The one-way streets are so unnecessary I saw drivers simply ignore directional signs where they existed.

Though it wasn't during the road's heyday (more in its later years....), they want to make sure travelers will stop through their downtown and get a good look at the mill (because without the mill, there would be no Granite City, right?). But as Yelper Steven pointed out, it's a park dedicated to nostalgia and history. I've noticed that a lot of longtime Granite residents love to cling to the past (in a good and bad way) and showing off these old signs and relics is a great start. A mural and large shield are not too far of a walk. You'll find decent parking, be it on the street or at the small lot across the street from the Neon Sign Park. Be sure to check out the few recently installed Muffler Men statues in Granite City, as well as the "Fork in the Road" sculpture!

It's simply a tribute to two things from our past, classic neon signs and the last 100 miles in Illinois of the historic Route 66. If you're driving thru or by Granite City, it is worth the detour to do a couple of selfies in front of the mural. Of course if you can visit the park at night, you'll see the classic neon signs turned on and in all their glory. It's the Centennial of Route 66, so it is the perfect time to go check out, It's Electric.
