Playground ground cover: Rubber mats

Des Peres Park has 2 very nice playgrounds located next to each other. One is designed for younger children, and the other is for kids 5 and up.  There are 2 regular swings and 2 baby swings. The larger playground has several slides, a climbing wall, zip line, pretend window, maze boards, ramps, and a sprayground (seasonal). The smaller playground has a free-standing pirate ship area, ramps, steering wheels, slides, maze boards tic tac toe boards, and a spinner thing,  The button to turn on the sprayground is by the restrooms - there is no sign to direct you to the button. There's also a great little trail that goes around a lake, with a wooden boardwalk. There are usually ducks and geese to watch in the lake.

























Here are photos of the large playground.
