The only negative is that the bathrooms are not always open on the weekends.

The Treetop Playground is a standout feature. It's thoughtfully designed, modern, and great for a wide range of ages, with lots of interesting structures that keep kids engaged while still feeling safe and well laid out. It's clear a lot of care went into making it both fun and accessible. Another big plus is the abundance of benches throughout the park. There are plenty of spots to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery, whether you're watching kids play, taking a break from a walk, or just soaking in the surroundings. Clean, welcoming, and consistently beautiful. Whether you're a local or visiting Clayton, Shaw Park is a great place to visit.

There are signs pointing the way from Ladue Rd at the Mosley Rd stoplight and at each turn from there. GPS gets you to the correct location as well. The road dead ends to a small parking lot (maybe 15 cars). There is a sand volleyball court, playground equipment, bathroom, and a covered picnic pavilion at the trailhead. The sand volleyball court had plastic beach toys in the sand, perfect for kids wanting to build sandcastles. They include poop bags at the beginning of the trail for dogs. There is no map at the trailhead. The path is paved for a bit, until you reach Deer Creek. The path over the creek is paved, but is grassy and rocky as you continue. There is trash in the creek and along the trail. I can still imagine children and pets playing in the shallow rocky creek during the warmer months. There are plenty of trash cans along the path that were not overflowing, but some people are just careless. The path has several intersections, some leading into the neighborhood, and some making circles back. At one intersection leading to a cul de sac, we did find another trailhead with a map, difficult to read though. There is no getting lost here since you are tucked in a neighborhood and a golf course is at the boundary of the trail. If you get to the golf course, you only know that you need to turn around to get out.

Regardless of my fear...I will go on to talk about why this park is so awesome. Even though Creve Coeur has over the years, become a sprawling suburb, this park does not clue you into that fact one little bit. In fact, this little park is an enclave of nature at its best. There is little path, so it isn't bombarded with people running, there's not a playground, so there's no screaming children, and it's filled with trees and birds. I actually came her originally because the RFT listed this as the best place to bird watch. I can't say I am much of a bird watcher, but I figured why not give this place a chance. They were totally spot on with their analysis. There really are more birds than people in this park, it's practically swarming with them, and not in any obnoxious way. It is more in a beautiful song bird kind of way. This is a great place to picnic or lay around and read a book on a beautiful fall day. It is totally worth checking out. Though small, this park is mighty and pretty darn cool all at the same time.

They even had chalk out for the kids to draw with, as well as a giant Jenga set for them to play. It's rare to see that level of care and community spirit, and it made such a positive impression. Huge thanks to the park crew for going above and beyond you can tell they truly care about the people who visit.

But- parking... Brentwood Parks And Recreation needs to align with the city to help with signage for parking. The lot is not large enough (maybe 60 spaces not positive) to have two directions. Even with it being clear to many that the natural flow was counterclockwise, a few felt the need to go against the natural flow. Then the streets around the park were full causing the streets capable of only allowing for a single lane of traffic. Even with a clear flow and literally no room for cars traveling in opposite directions... some attempted to push in, causing longer stand stills. It's like trying to go to the zoo/forest park on the weekends. But the park itself is fun!!! I do wish there was more shaded areas within the park itself. Parking needs to be fixed... there is no way an emergency vehicle could have gotten in to help if help was needed. That is a big concern.
