Avery Park is a small park, but the city of Kirkwood did an amazing job laying out the site. The playground has a swing set with 2 sling swings and 2 baby swings. There are 2 unique climbing structures, one for preschoolers and one for school-aged kids. My 3-year-old loved the preschool structure, with steps to climb around, a tunnel, and a slide. There are also drums, but the drums are set up pretty high for young kids, my 3-year-old can reach but for kids any smaller, they'd be too high. The school-aged structure just has a rope climbing wall and suspended circular climbing rings. There are also 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings. The large trees which border the park bring shade and help seclude the small park from the surrounding neighborhood.
Parking is on-street only (watch for no parking signs). Unfortunately, there are no restroom facilities at this park.
