Beautiful and well-kept neighborhood park with nice trails ranging from easy, gravel-covered path…read moreto a moderate slight climb trail. The tree covered paths are perfect for all weather and the cliff and water view is quite lovely especially in the fall. There is a newer pavilion with a seating area, a bathroom for when nature calls while you're out in nature and a couple of art pieces to admire during your stroll. During our most recent visit a week or two ago, the bathrooms were closed for the season. There is also plenty of parking available. We take our dog here for walks. They have free bags if you've forgotten to bring any. It's a great park neighborhood park!

St. Louis, we need to talk about Suson Park. Because how is this hidden gem just sitting in South…read moreCounty and people aren't talking about it more? Suson Park is basically a little farm hiding inside a county park AND it's FREE. You can walk around and see cows, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks and other farm animals. St. Louis County actually describes it as a working animal farm, and the barn is open to the public. And there's some seriously good St. Louis history here. The county bought the original property in 1962 from Sidney Salomon Jr., who was a major figure in St. Louis sports history. He owned the original Sportsman's Park and later the St. Louis Arena and became the first owner of the St. Louis Blues. Even better: Suson is a combination of the names of his children, Susan and Sonny. The park opened to the public in 1964, and today you've got the animal farm, fishing lakes, walking paths, playgrounds and picnic areas. So basically, you can spend an afternoon hanging out with a goat, watching a pig do absolutely nothing, saying hello to a cow and pretending you're on a farm vacation, all without leaving St. Louis County. And did I mention FREE? This is exactly the kind of place I mean when I say St. Louis has hidden gems.

We visited Simpson Park for Open Space STL's Paddle After Dark July 2026 fundraising event…read more"supporting conservation and clean water initiatives across our region." 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.

Small park to enjoy the little things…read more This park is extremely well maintained. The tennis and basketball courts look fresh and a new bed of wood chips were added to the children's playground. On the playground littles as young as 1 year old can enjoy a number of different kinds of equipment. They do have a baby and disability friendly swing available. However the entrance into the playground is NOT DISABILITY FRIENDLY. There is a short walking trail but beware of geese and their poo. I saw folks doing some leisurely fishing but not sure on those guidelines. The restrooms were interesting but I was surprised they were less maintained compared to the rest of the park. Dogs are welcome while on leash or on duty as service dogs.

They have a little pond that people can fish in, and there are lots of ducks swimming and walking around. They have a playground and a basketball court, which both seem well-kept. There's also a pavilion but I haven't used it so I'm not sure what amenities it has. There's a path around the pond, and while it's a very short loop, it's good for a slow, peaceful wander. There are benches around the path and next to the park under some trees. I'd recommend checking it out if you're looking for a small, chill, clean, quiet park.

ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!…read more A farm themed climbing area and therapy horses right next to the playground. I can see why its tucked away, and I'm not surprised this is in T&C. Everything was so clean, the climbing gyms looked awesome, but for my toddler, he loved climbing the fake horses and tractor lol. On our way out, we walked past the stalls and saw the horses for therapy. He was excited to see them and waved bye lol. I highly recommend visiting here with your kids!

After recently moving to the area, I found this park in Maps or on Yelp. It was pretty much what I…read morewas looking for, small enough to feel comfortable that I could properly supervise both of my small children at the same time without my husband being able to come & help, but with enough play area that they would enjoy it. It was a close to a busy road, which made me a little uncomfortable, but my children were so interested in the park that I found I didn't have to worry too much. My 3 year old was disappointed that there were "no friends." If you're looking for a quiet place to throw a couple hotdogs on the grill & let your children play, this is nice. If your children want more interaction with other children, you may want to try a more well known park. :-)

The picturesque views and scenic landscapes along the pathway have been a great way to spend quality time outdoors while getting a good workout.
