Ozzie's has now joined the list of parks with turf on all their fields!!! This is a GAME CHANGER!…read moreThis complex has always been nice but now all 7 fields have turf and their 2 marquee fields have ALL turf (infield and outfield). Where they have grass for outfield, they keep that part up really nice so the whole complex is amazing. The one concern is that concessions are sometimes closed for no reason. But, the park has a ton of mature trees for shade and the bleachers have shade canopies. Gotta love this place overall.

We had to go since it was America's 250th birthday and figured they would go big this year. I was a little disappointed because there wasn't huge wow factor. There were a few fireworks that stood out that I'd never seen before but they weren't big and boomy. It was still a good time though and I'm glad we went to witness Kansas play Carry on Wayward Son live.

Located on the other side of the railroad tracks, Brentwood Park is a large park and I had a really…read morenice walk around today. The main feature is the three decent sized baseball/softball fields that are in reasonably good condition. I imagine they get quite a workout during the warmer weather! There are bleachers at the ball field though there is minimal shade. The park also has a few picnic shelters, a permanent structure with restrooms and a really nice looking playground with shade and several different climbing/sliding features. Parking is behind and to the side of the largest of the baseball diamond. I would imagine that you still need to be aware of the foul ball going back into the parking area.

Located in downtown St. Louis, generally a safe area but you can't venture too far from the stadium, "touristy" things. Ballpark village is a cool setup as well with different restaurants and bars.

The St. Louis Cardinals have one of the best gameday and ballpark experiences in Major League…read moreBaseball. Busch Stadium is top notch. And you may be asking...well, why? Simple! When you enter the stadium and view out towards the centerfield backdrop, you catch a glimpse of the city skyline and that's a homerun in and of itself! I never knew St. Louis had such a majestic skyline. I think of New York, Chicago and Seattle to name a few that really have statuesque skyscrapers and such. But here at Busch Stadium, everyone knows the "Gateway to the West" is the St. Louis Arch, and it towers in the distance as the primary focal point for a perfect setting. Then...you add the reliable fans into the entire equation (and their passion for their Cardinals), and St. Louis really is a first class baseball city. I visited in early spring and although the team was off to a disappointing start, even for a Memorial Day game against the cross-state rival Kansas City Royals, the attendance was 47,000 people, which is pretty much a sellout. I stopped at the box office looking to purchase a ticket the day of and there weren't many options to pick from. There were outfield bleachers for $50 or...I could buy a SRO ticket..."Standing Room Only" for $15. Briefly I thought in my head, ya know, why not take the SRO because it'll give me a chance to wander around the park at my leisure and not be committed to sitting for an entire game. And that's what I chose. For this SRO ticket, I could stand in any section wherever I wanted throughout the park, but of course, I chose the 400 level section down the 1st base line and it afforded me a beautiful scene of St. Louis' glorious backdrop. And these days with a Pitch Clock now included to speed up the pace of play, this Memorial Day game easily finished in under 3 hours. So, standing was no big deal. I'm surprised gates to Busch Stadium opened 2 hours prior to first pitch. Usually, it's 60 - 90 minutes. But, this gave me a chance to get in the best pictures possible without having to rush around and before the masses started filing in. Also, the Ballpark Village section just outside the park which hovers parallel to the outfield, was busy with activities, music, food and drinks offered. Another noticeable aspect were the amount of monuments dedicated to Hall of Fame players that have worn Cardinals uniforms. Players like...Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Ozzie Smith, and even a special tribute to commentator Jack Buck. You can find these statues at the front entrance. Some extra notes... I was able to buy a Cardinals Gameday Scorecard for $3 as a little keepsake from attending. I never tried any of the food while here but St. Louis is known for their fried ravioli. Lastly, I must again give credit to the fans. They are passionate and loyal, and no matter whether the Cards are winning or losing, it's the crowd that makes the atmosphere at Busch Stadium very lively. They were even starting a "wave" chant around the stadium during the 6th inning while the home team was losing. Fans are there to celebrate America's Ole Pastime and if the Cardinals win, it's an added bonus and everyone leaves happily. In the end, I have Busch Stadium ranked #4 best ballpark out of the 30 MLB teams. Congrats to St. Louis and their rich heritage celebrating Cardinals baseball!

The narrow entrance broadens to a wide flat, grassy area with all the park's amenities in the rear. That flatness collects water after rain or thawing snow, making a muddy, wet park.

Yes, it has trails, but they are chopping, and boring and not very long. This is a small park and a great place to go if you are looking to say, have a picnic, read a book, or just lounge around....that's what it is. It's a neighborhood park. Go here to play frisbee, not to take in a nice long run. They have two pavilions you can rent, which is nice for family picnics and get togethers. All in all, nothing special, just a park. It's well maintained and there's a ton of grass, which is great for nice days and laying around. Otherwise, parks like this are a dime a dozen. Not that we should get rid of them. Keep the parks, make more of them in fact. If every neighborhood had little parks like this, the world would be a much nicer place.
