There is a pond with paths around for fishing, covered picnic areas, benches, sports courts, and a huge play area that includes a water cool-down section (in Summer) for the children.

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

Most recently I came here specifically because they have a short, well shaded, flat walking path. It's paved and wide and amazing! The basic path it just about a mile and you can go from one parking lot to the other/boat ramp. This short path was very relaxing and mainly wooded with some peeks through to the lake. They also have more extensive bike paths for the bike riders. I highly recommend this for a nice walking path or a get together in 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.

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.
