The playground was undergoing renovation in November 2021. It's fenced, a major safety benefit, and right next to the pavilion and restrooms. Behind the playground a small woody area has a nature trail. Or, several nature trails. With dead leaves covering it, overgrowth obscuring part of it, and no signage it was difficult to tell at times if I actually was in the trail or carving my own. I did sometimes come to dead ends and had to retrace my steps. I found a couple of benches along the path(s). The trail is hilly and uneven. Obstacles such as downed trees lie across it. However, with houses around the three sides that aren't parkland it's easy to navigate your way back to the parking lot if you end up lost.

There are shaded overwatch towers for parents to watch their kids in any part of the park, there is a splash park and multiple playground areas dependent on your child's size. We stayed for over two hours and the kids did not want to leave. Our kids ages range from 10-4 and everyone had a good time. My mother in law walked the trail several times. The other parents/kids were very friendly too, great park, great atmosphere. The only downside, which isn't even bad, it's expected, is that the bathrooms were not that clean, but it was manageable for what was needed for the kiddos to pee and go back to playing. When I'm St Louis again, we would come back!!

The flat, 8-mile walking/biking path winds through a forest and along a creek. It's good for all ages and abilities. Mostly shaded in summer it's open in winter from native trees that have shed their leaves. Dog friendly. The path is extended by linking to other paved trails. Its northern point links to the City Centre Trail to City Centre Park on Mexico Road. At the southern point at Willott Road it links to Country Creek Trail to Covenant Park. An eastern spur connects to Alan Oscar Park. A baseball diamond, basketball court, two tennis courts, and football/soccer field cover sports interests in Spencer Creek Park. Two picnic pavilions and a large playground, which includes musical elements, will appeal to families. Restrooms available.

I loved that there are three different musical play stations to explore too. The pavilion has tons of seating, which makes it easy to take breaks or enjoy a snack, and the bathrooms are honestly the cleanest I've ever seen at a park. Plenty of parking as well, which is always a bonus. We were blown away by the cleanliness and the variety of activities for the littles. Definitely adding this to our top 3 parks there's just so much to enjoy here!

Aside from the obvious safety concerns that my husband and I have - this was a nice park. It is surrounded by trees, with a small bridge that crosses over to a woodland area. The actual playground is VERY cute with a zipline, swings, a musical instrument section, and a musical seesaw. There is also a sensory trail that we haven't explored yet, but we saw many families coming from and going to. Just keep an eye out on your kiddos especially by the entrance!

My first time biking Bangert I was alternately delighted and frustrated. A bicycle allowed me to…read morecover the entire island, something I've never done on foot. Every time I came to a path fork I took the trail heading away from the interior. So, it was a delight to cover the perimeter and finally explore areas I hadn't been in before. However, the lack of trail markers--even at the forks--meant much of the time I had little idea where I was. The trail map was no help and only by checking the sun's position and knowing where the river was did I have an idea of the general direction I was headed. That was frustrating. I kept thinking how a walker wouldn't know where they were, nor how far they were from the next fork that could take them back to Bangert's entrance. Beyond that, the island's trails are fairly easy. Paths nearest the River Road and along the north are solid and mostly flat. Trails along the river are sandy with frequent dips and switchbacks. I began by heading north toward Interstate 70 and its traffic roar. Once I made the turn south and biked further from the bridge the noise subsided and the ride became more serene. However, the trail also got narrower. Trees close in and it's easy to snag a handlebar or pedal. There were a few small tree trunks across the trail--part of the fun of mountain biking--but most were level with the ground. A few trunks showed recent evidence of large trees having been cut to allow the path to run between the sections. Carey in what you need: There are no facilities of any sort here.

Anyway, nice overlook of the Missouri River just south of the I-70 Blanchette Bridge. The trails are mostly wooded with several spots that have views of the river.
