This small park looks almost like an afterthought in the St. Ann city parks division. Located at…read morethe corner of Livingston and Wright avenues, its unoriginal name even suggests the city barely thought about it. The 1/2-acre space includes a playground with an old swing set, small picnic pavilion, and a horseshoe pit. Wright Avenue is a somewhat busy street between the airport and St. Charles Rock Road. But, there's no safety fence around the park's playground. Street parking. No restrooms.

I came for a race and they were two pavilions, a soccer field and one little park, which is attached in a photo not very big or a lot for kids to play with but very clean

Restrooms and picnic tables (including a pavilion, grill, and electrical outlets) round out the features. Most of the park is down a hill behind the entrance, which provides some seclusion from busy West Florissant Road. Another benefit is the park usually not very busy.

Deeper than I ever could have imagined…read more Narrow entrance off Howdershell starts with pavilion, medium sized playground, parking, restrooms (bring your own soap & towels). Then comes the "rolling" downhill to more parking, shade tree picnic area, nice pond surrounded by handicapped accessible pavilion and decks. The paved trail leads further back through the narrow band of woos between subdivisions till pavement ends. Then stay to the right and a nice flat trail starts for a little distance. Then "Grand Canyon" splits off to a rocky then muddy trail. Go the other direction and weeds end up taking over the trail. Back a paved trail- try the trail to the left- it goes downhill, but not nearly as step as "Grand Canyon" trail. But the trail becomes weedy after awhile.

This woodsy park actually sits amid subdivisions, but they're largely hidden by mature trees. By the time you wind your way down to the fishing lake in the back you might feel like you're a member of a private camp. On the way to the lake you'll pass a satisfactory but not large playground, picnic pavilion, restrooms, horseshoe pits, and rolling green space. There's also a paved walking track. The city's website lists volleyball amenities but I didn't see them. The fishing lake has a dock for disabled fishers. Missouri conservation department rules apply.

Besides a picnic pavilion with grills and restrooms there's a playground with rubberized surface and short, paved hiking trail (.7 mile). The trail includes fitness stations along its course.

It's located next to Parkwood Elementary School and across from Holy Spirit Catholic Church.

It's not large but it's plenty for the very few who live in this part of the Saint Louis metro. Picnic tables, grills and a nice playground. There is a building with restrooms and cover from the elements. The park is partially fenced in which will keep little ones from wandering off and gives parents a chance to see who is coming. There is street parking. [Review 17255 overall - 120 in Illinois - 772 of 2022.]

This small, three-acre park has a unique creation. Before 1976 the surrounding neighborhood was the…read moremunicipality of Mary Ridge. When the village merged with the larger St. Ann bricks from the old city hall were used in the park's picnic pavilion. Mary Ridge has a single dirt baseball/softball field, a playground, and a picnic pavilion with tables, restrooms, and a BBQ grill. On my visit the park was clean and well maintained. Evidently without a formal address, it sits near St. Charles Rock Rd. between Eastridge and Westridge roads with a small parking lot on the latter. There's also street parking.
