The main feature is the three decent sized baseball/softball fields that are in reasonably good condition. I imagine they get quite a workout during the warmer weather! There are bleachers at the ball field though there is minimal shade. The park also has a few picnic shelters, a permanent structure with restrooms and a really nice looking playground with shade and several different climbing/sliding features. Parking is behind and to the side of the largest of the baseball diamond. I would imagine that you still need to be aware of the foul ball going back into the parking area.

The 127-acre park in north St. Louis is an unpolished gem in the city's parks system. Located…read moreelsewhere in St. Louis the expansive park might shine with well maintained gardens, floral features, fresh paint, and renovated early 19th-century buildings to show off their charms. Central among the rolling hills and mature trees are the fishing lake and small island. The park also has a football field, tennis courts, inclusive playground with splash pad, and multiple picnic pavilions as well as open green spaces. A rec center is on the edge of the park. It includes an indoor walking track, fitness equipment, indoor and outdoor water features, basketball courts, meeting rooms, and other amenities. Nestled against Interstate 70 there's a park entrance on Carrie Ave. that crosses the highway. The main entrance is at the corner of West Florissant and Harris. The rec center connects to the park but also has its own West Florissant entrance. Unnecessary one-way streets with few directional signs are the biggest issues of the park. Just inside the West Florissant main entrance the road forks. Take the left fork and you're on a short one-way road out of the park. The right fork starts a large, one-way loop around the lake even though the road is wide enough for street parking and two-way traffic. Directional signs are scarce. I discovered too late I was driving the wrong way on a branch loop from the main road. The one-way streets are so unnecessary I saw drivers simply ignore directional signs where they existed.

Let me start by saying it is a little difficult to find. You pull in the parking lot and drive around to the back. After driving around back you can't help but stare at this beautiful grand entrance. Upon arriving we were greeted by the owner who was so overjoyed to see the kids ready to train. Wearing masks it was hard to see everyone's faces but everyone was in shock. The inside is so inviting and so well thought out. Every little detail had been thought through. From the turf having no rubber infill, to the gigantic fans over each playing field, to the benches set up in front of the projector. Each bench has a countries logo that has won the World Cup with the dates on the back. They do have snacks and drinks at the front counter. Soccer games play on the huge projector for parents to hang out and watch. It does appear they plan on hosting camps tournaments and leagues. This place looks amazing and it's something the city has needed. I can't wait to watch this place grow!

Blink and you might miss this Soulard gem, and it's not your fault because Aboussie Park is…read morerecognized as the smallest of all St. Louis city parks, covering a mere 0.4 acre. While you are probably going to select one of the 115 other parks in St. Louis for your long runs or pickup soccer games, Aboussie Park adds a historic charm to an already quaint neighborhood. Aboussie Park was established in 1981 and is located near Sidney and 13th Street, and just east of the chain link fence on the I-55 easement. This park is surrounded by well-kept St. Louis brick homes with manicured front lawns and gardens. What I love about the space is that without the well thought out flow of the park, it would be an overgrown patch of weeds in an otherwise unusable space. The park provides an area to walk our dog, a place to sit/rest and a small set of trees and shrubs to attract birds and other small wildlife. One thing you can't help but notice while walking in the park are the smells of coniferous trees and perennial flowers meshing with the signature Soulard scent of barley from the Anheuser-Busch brewery. Aboussie Park takes its name from Martie "Murph" Aboussie (1909-1970), a politician in the 9th Ward. There's a sign in the park commemorating his life, but is rather vague on his actual accomplishments, rather characterizing his time as a servant of the common man and a friend to youth. Just steps away from Ninth Street Deli at Howards, the park provides a wonderful place to munch on your to-go sub. And thanks to St. Louis' open container regulations, you can pack a few drinks to have the perfect picnic. It helps you feel like you're getting out of the city just steps from your home. There's a cute gazebo as the focal point of the park. Over the summer, it served as a meet-up location of a community created golf cart pride parade through Soulard. While the park could use a little love, the city does care for the grass and trimming the trees to make sure the walking paths are clear. Clyde and I love strolling through this park every night on his walk.
