This included a 1-hour canoe rental for two from Big Muddy Adventures. I should start by saying that I was impressed that this park is so accessible to St. Louis City and County residents (near 141 and 44). It is well-maintained with a playground, walking paths, bathrooms (clean and well-stocked), a large covered shelter with picnic tables and a lovely lake with kayak/canoe rentals. Fishing is allowed. It was a hot day, but we enjoyed sitting in the shade, canoeing around the little lake and later seeing the sun set over the lake. I would like to return again and walk around the lake with our dog and then perhaps have a picnic on one of the covered picnic tables with a view of the lake.

It's a great distance to get some steps in, and if you want to continue your steps, you can head across Marshall near the water. It's clean, lots of wildlife, and a really lovely spot. I believe they also have the option of renting kayaks to go on the lake. If you're the outdoorsy type, it's worth checking out! Great spot to get together with friends and family.

I mean. You can never go wrong when you visit this place…read more You think there's nothing more to life? Come here. You can think clearly up here just looking at that view. I had visited 5/18 with a few girlfriends. It had rained a day prior so there definitely were some muddy patches. We also encountered a black snake (too scared to take a picture- I ran away), a dead baby snake, a ton of cicada shells, spider webs in the way of our path, and some bees. We went around 11am and though the high was 84, it wasn't so bad since most of the trail is in the woods. I hadn't been here in a while but it seemed shorter than I remember. If you're looking for an hour-ish long hike, swing on by.

There were lots of Canadian geese that didn't want to be approached with their babies.

The shelter provided the perfect space and we were able to move the food tables underneath with enough space for the guests to eat and play games. Queeny is her favorite park so being able to incorporate it into her shower made her so so happy! There's plenty of parking and such a lovely high view of the overall park for a great backdrop for pictures. The best way to get to this spot is through the entrance from Weidman. A lot of us guests got lost by the many entrances and had to circle around and were afraid we would be too late but it all worked out! Would be great to have some signage at other entrances to say where to go to get to certain parts of the park.

Best park in STL contender!…read more This park has it all! Spacious. Clean. Maintained. Beautiful. Accessible. The best add to this park is the Teddy and Friends accessibility friendly kid playground. The playground is vibrantly colored, soft padding for the grounds, accessible swings and other equipment. There are even musical elements of the space. Close by the park is their community center that has family friendly restrooms and diaper stations. Dogs are allowed in the park areas but not inside the center. The walking trails are very long so make sure you have enough time to explore. The trails are so wheelchair friendly but I recommend only skilled wheelchair users do the trails alone as there can be natural debris or elevation obstacles.

If you live near Sunset Hills, I recommend this park.

There are trash cans, a decent sized parking lot and the plants here are breath taking. Please go here, for almost any reason. My favorite place for activity.
