Tucked into neighborhoods on the north side, Westhoff also offers its own unique attractions, including: -Courts or fields for baseball, softball, basketball, roller hockey, pickleball, horseshoes, sand volleyball, and tennis. -The city's only skate/BMX park. -Two playgrounds, including Brendan's Playground, which is the city's only fully accessible, unlimited play spot for children with special needs (though available to children of all ages and abilities). -Water splash pad.

Ramp RIders has a huge indoor park that is great for any skill level (mine is currently 0, but…read morehoping to change that with a lesson and several years of skate sessions). There is a nice skate shop that has tons of products and accessories for skateboarding/BMX and maybe more, but I'm not sure. I bought a helmet at a cheaper price than I could find at Sports Authority. The customer service really impressed me. Chad, the owner, is very accommodating and willing to go above and beyond to make customers happy. My skateboard was built before my own eyes, which was pretty cool. I am looking forward to visiting more often and supporting this great local business.

Why is everything so damn hard in the City? Everything. All I was looking for was lessons, which…read moreare listed on the website as something offerred. Cool. We wanted to get a 4 year old some lessons to advance his bike skills and there are not a lot of options near South City. Other options are St Charles, St Peters and Wildwood. I emailed what is listed on the site. The response was to come on a Sunday morning and sign up for lessons then. By the way, you have to carry your bike (and likely your kid's bike) up 2 flights of stairs. Sunday morning: Mother's Day multiple people are waiting outside and the door is locked. Ramp Riders posted on Instagram (not the door!) right before the start time that they were closed on Mother's Day. For those without social media, Sorrrrrrry! The next time we go, no one arrived to open the place until 20 minutes after they were supposed to be open. It's 90 degrees, no AC and the woman is wearing a winter beenie hat. Again, I ask to sign up for lessons after the session. I would have paid whatever the rate was. She says to email the address on the website -face palm-. An infinite loop. Why are all three downtown post offices closed in the middle of the day for no reason? Why are all the court forms on the website outdated? Why is there poop on the neighborhood playground equipment and men bathing in the splash fountain? Why is City Hall so slow, rude and difficult? Why do wrecked cars sit on the side of the road for months? I try so, so hard to love it, endure it, embrace it. But goddam. It's also hard to get a bike lesson. So, we drive to St Charles for Wheels Up. They are responsive, friendly and helpful. It should not be SO DIFFICULT.

Really nice park with wonderful scenery. My favorite is the pond with the waterfall.

The Treetop Playground is a standout feature. It's thoughtfully designed, modern, and great for a wide range of ages, with lots of interesting structures that keep kids engaged while still feeling safe and well laid out. It's clear a lot of care went into making it both fun and accessible. Another big plus is the abundance of benches throughout the park. There are plenty of spots to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery, whether you're watching kids play, taking a break from a walk, or just soaking in the surroundings. Clean, welcoming, and consistently beautiful. Whether you're a local or visiting Clayton, Shaw Park is a great place to visit.
