It was a hot day, so we appreciated that much of the trail was shaded. There was a family of deer right off the trail, which was fun to see up close. The children's playground area looked really fun for kids. There is a small parking lot. For us, this park is a convenient neighborhood option if we want a short walk.

Great place to take a mini stroll. They have a playground with a few swings and a kids activity…read morearea. I go to walk the trail with my dog. They also have a soccer field which they hold a few youth events. The parking lot is small. They have another area for parking and walking but it appears to be closed for construction.

This is a nice park in the heart of Chesterfield. However, despite being in the heart of…read moreChesterfield (close to the interstate, the amphitheater and library), it was very quiet and hardly anyone was there. We came to see the Sculpture "The Awakening" which is a massive sculpture of a giant who is struggling to get out of the ground. It's not a single sculpture but five separate sculptures that make up "The Awakening". Great park to visit - not only for the sculpture but for some peace and quiet.

My husband and I came here when we came to St. Louis last week initially because I wanted to see…read more"The Awakening" sculpture, but overall, we loved it for many other reasons, as well! When we first got here, we noticed the park is in a pretty secluded area, and not many people were around unless they were going to the library that is connected to the parking lot. There are so many different parts of this park, including "The Awakening" sculpture, an amphitheater, a walking trail with a waterfront, and a Veterans memorial. The park was very clean, and we loved everything we experienced. The sculpture was so cool and is basically a steel man broken up into different separated body parts, who looks like he is trying to free himself from the ground. It's unbelievable how big this is in person, and we loved it. The Veterans Memorial was gorgeous and included significant quotes, a fountain, and American flags with every branch of the military included. The waterfront and trails were gorgeous, and we saw many HUGE ducks, cardinals, and wildlife. We loved the isolated walking trail because it had such beautiful views. Homes are being built around there, too, and the water would be such a gorgeous view to have every day from a home window. We weren't able to go to the amphitheater because they were getting ready for a summer night free concert event, but when we left, many people were gathering to go to the event. You can bring your own beer as long as it's in a can, so that's awesome and unlike many other public areas! Overall, if I lived in St. Louis, I could see myself regularly coming to this park and the surrounding area often. It's definitely a tranquil place where you can be one with nature and enjoy the views and entertainment.

We enjoyed taking are dogs to run leash-free along the lake. There's a dirt walking path you can walk down to watch to ensure the dog's safety. There's also a large berm between the water and the road, so you don't have to worry about traffic. Looks also like a fun place to go fishing!!

This seemed like a good place to take a walk, so I went about half a mile along the trail by the…read moreMeramec River. It occurred to me that in the summer this would be a great place for sunbathing--although I don't think the river really would be a good place to swim. As another commenter mentioned, it is a hook-up spot where guys park and then go off into the woods. I have only been there once so I don't know if it's much different from other area parks. I did notice trash that might be of interest to one of the groups that periodically cleans up area parks and creeks.

As the park wildlife plenty of geese, as well as deer, snakes and frogs. I enjoy coming here and will start walking here on a regular on the trail. I think they have a 1.4 mile track. You can go fishing on the huge lake. You can come here for a picnic, bring kids to play. Plenty of benches, the walking path and more. The park and lakes are beautiful and well maintained. Lots of walkers using the lake loop trail. Wildlife is abundant and the lake shows good sign of a healthy fish population. By far probably the best park in North county and not overly used that i can see. The only thing I'd like to see different is the use of cut trees put into the lake off shore in the deeper areas to help support the crappie growth and population. Giving them better structure to hold to so they aren't having to compete with bass in the Lilly pads. All in all its a great place.
