That photo opportunity is South of Forest Park & 64/40 on Oakland Ave just East of Tamm Ave) AstroTurf type surface on a shock absorbing padding covers the playground, but not the "Secret Garden" or ramps. There is a toddler area, area for "big kids" & a "secret garden" though some bushes. While overall well designed... I do not like the many entry/exits & blind spots. The best area to keep track of the big kids maybe on the top of the ramp outside the wall. With mix toddler & "big kid"... follow UnCool Dave rules & tell the "big kids" they must stay on or over the AstroTurf area.

The shade is minimal so the kids do work up some heat - beware there is no water fountain so come prepared or go in to the visitor center, they have a small cafe where you can buy refreshments.

In the summer, the sculptures can get hot so be careful. The highway is just below the park so it is extremely noisy. This is also close to the street so it is not the safest place, so visitors must take extreme caution. Dogs are allowed on leash and picnic blankets are allowed. Next door is a small semi enclosed playground with slides and swings. It is not as accessible for those in wheelchairs. There is a restroom and plenty of portable toilets. It's also across the highway from the Zoo and free to park on the street if you do both attractions.

FYI: There's free parking at this park, and it's a short walk to the St. Louis Zoo. This isn't a playground, per se, but more like a sculpture garden that you can play on. It consists of huge concrete sculptures of turtles, turtle hatchlings, and a snake. There are grassy areas all around, and it's right by a freeway, so you can see cars driving by as you play. This is an urban park at its best.

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.

The park features a sizable children's play gym, six lighted tennis courts, walking paths, and racket ball courts. The lights come on around 8:30pm and are quite sufficient. I always feel safe and can see properly. This park is certainly a nice little slice of nature and leisure in the "city-like" feel of CWE. And I'm sure families visiting their loved ones in the hospital appreciate it sometimes as a place to get away from the hospital. For the rest of us, it's just a good place to go for a little fun!
