I took my 3 year old here to ride her scooter, play on the playground, and explore the paths along the pond. It seems like a wonderful park for all ages.

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.

My mom and I have been coming here for years, and wow it has really really grown (literally)…read more There's a great walking path around the lake, but you can't see it with the growth of the trees/ brush. 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.

It has a play area for the kids and a creek with a walking bridge.

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 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 sidewalks that we could take through the park. It was very well-maintained and lovely. There was one area under construction during our visit. There were lots of Canadian geese that didn't want to be approached with their babies.
