Rayburn Park, Crestwood



Location: Bounded by Fox Creek Ct and Rayburn Ave, Crestwood, MO 63126

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

The old playground just had a merry-go-round, slide, and a swing. It's much better now! The new playground was just installed in the summer of 2019. There are 2 sections, the first one you come to is for kids over 5 and then if you go up the hill and around the corner you'll see another playground for younger kids. The first playground features the COOLEST swing I have ever seen, it's called a Gravity Rail. There is one play structure with 2 ramps for the swing, a tic tac toe board, 2 drums, 2 slides, and a spider web climber. There are a couple benches to sit on and it's partially shaded as well.





Here is the video of the swing, it's so cool! I've never seen a swing like this in St. Louis. Be careful with little kids though, this thing is heavy and I saw quite a few kids fall down while trying to pull it all the way to the top of the ramp. It usually took at least 2 kids or an adult to get it up there. The swing is like a sling swing combined with a zip line, and it goes around in a big loop.













 The line for this swing was very long, everyone wanted a turn!





The second playground up the hill features a play structure, an expression swing, a modified merry-go-round, a spinning seat, and a play structure. 







There is one adaptive swing, an expression swing, and 2 sling swings.

Well done Crestwood! This is a great addition to the playgrounds in the area.
