    Wonderful place to relax or have your kids play. It has a sculpture area, a playground, several picnic spots with grills, a waterfall with a stairway beside it that empties into a pond. A few paved trails for walking. There's even a splash pad when we went (September) and shelters that can be reserved.

    Love this park! It's the perfect place to decompress, have a picnic, go for a run, or play a game of volleyball. Plus you can't beat the proximity to so many yummy places to eat!

    This park has plenty of parkings super close to Clayton high school. There are two playgrounds inside the park. The playgrounds are pretty decent size playgrounds. My kids love it here. This park is also great for walking your dog. My dog love to walk here and it is big enough for her to get plenty of exercise. There is a tennis court that I saw people play tennis here, not sure about the fee to use. Overall this is a great park and I tends to go here so often.

    What a wonderful park! It's full of amenities.There are 3 playgrounds, a few themed gardens, 10 tennis courts, 9 ball fields, 2 sand volleyball courts, skating rink, swimming pool. My favorite spot is the cascading waterfall surrounded by colorful flowers. You can jog/walk around the park, but it also connects to a trail. Overall, an excellent park. 5 stars.

    Walked around this cute little park with my Daughter after brunch. A peaceful little oasis in Clayton. Looks like a good place for a picnic. If you're in Clayton check it out.

    Super quiet park in Clayton. I like to come here just to walk past the gorgeous waterfalls and to sit at the covered picnic benches. Great spot to catch a baseball game, sit in the grass or even take a run. Definitely the go-to park in my hood.

    This park is so beautiful! What a great hidden gem in downtown Clayton. There is a playground, pavilion, pond, walking/bike trail, baseball diamond, and public restrooms. Very beautiful landscaping and views. Lots of benches to sit and relax on too.

    Don't let this pic fool you, there were a ton of people here that day.

    This place is a winner for the kiddos. Tons of places to play and you can pretty much see the entire playground from wherever you sit. It has a few cool features that I haven't seen at other parks, like a few xylophones and these unique teeter totter things. Plus it has a huge splash pad that will be great for the summer months. There's this very cool tree house with slides coming out of it. Also, this would be a great spot for birthdays. There are bathrooms and a pavilion directly between the pool and the playground. Super convenient. For the parental units, there are plenty of benches to sit. Most have a pretty good view of the whole playground and a couple have a nice shade over them. Have fun!

    We love it here! Pros: Nestled in Clayton, this park is the perfect size: Big enough that you have to explore it to see the whole thing, small enough that you can cover the whole thing with a perfect-length walk. It has parking on all sides; the primary parking is in lots to the north and south. It has two playgrounds, on one the south side for older kids, and one on the north side that has some things suitable for toddlers and preschoolers. Has paved trails and is suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. Beautiful scenery; trees everywhere, grounds are very well kept. It's always surprisingly uncrowded here, though the playground can get full. The north playground has a splash pad in the summer. The Shaw Park Pool and tennis courts are on the east side, though those require a membership to use (this can be obtained at Center of Clayton). They also have a pavilion and some covered shelters available for rent. Cons: I have always felt very safe here; however, there have been car break-ins here (this typically happens when common sense isn't used and people leave valuable belongings visible and/or doors unlocked). No other cons come to mind! This park is one of the best parts about Clayton.

    I love that a park so lovely and serene is tucked inside the bustle of downtown Clayton. It's a perfect place to host events, and the city has many here, including The Taste of Clayton, The St. Louis Jazz Festival and Parties in the Park. There's also an aquatic center on the campus, which has a 50-meter competition pool, a diving pool and a splash pool for the kiddies. It also has an outdoor ice skating rink, tennis courts, ball fields, playgrounds and sand volleyball courts. It's a great place to hold picnics, too, as it's got picnic shelters and grilling outfits.

    The playground it self is amazing... that would receive 5 stars. I travel a ton in the US- I have…read morekids ages 6 to 25, so I have been to a lot of parks and this has to rank on the top!!!! 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.

    This playground is an awesome kid hangout. My kids love this place and can play here all day. This…read moreplayground just opened last weekend and we went here this past Sunday. It was busy and parking was tight. There are so much things for kids to do here. Rock climbing, swings, Little zip line, splash pad etc. I can tell my kids and Chloe would love to go here a lot in the near future.

Also, it's very open and I can see all parts of the park so even thought it's not fenced, it just feels safe. The kids love that part of it is a tree that you climb inside. Bathrooms are close so great for potty training toddlers who have to go RIGHT NOW. There are 4 picnic tables in the pavilion, 2 drinking fountains and some sunshades with benches. We had our kids' birthday party there and it went extremely well. Super affordable to rent! The only downside is one parking lot is a flat trek to the playground but a longer one and the other parking lot is fairly close but you have to walk down a big hill and so then also back up. So anyone who is more limited with ambulation or someone who fatigues very quickly may not find this playground particularly accessible. Otherwise it is a super fun and simple playground!

    Such a hidden gem in the St. Louis public playgrounds. Plenty of parking, great walking trail, and…read morea massive playground. We were the only ones on the playground the entire time-about an hour. Meanwhile we were able to meet a bunch of nice dogs going on long walks. Oak Tree Park pavilion is available to rent through the Brentwood Park system. It's pretty cheap ($60 for non-residents, $40 for residents). There are four picnic benches under the shelter, where the bathrooms are also located.
