Gutneckt-Arrowhead Park, Bel-Ridge

 

Location: 8901 Somerset Ln., Bel-Ridge, MO 63121

Playground Ground Cover: Grass

Gutknecht-Arrowhead park is a great place to relax with its open spaces, gazebo, a small lake with a water fountain in the center, and a walking path. It was very serene and peaceful, and no one else was there.  It was a bit difficult to find though, there is no signage at all. The sign above is located at a tennis court but not near the playground area. 

Creek

The playground is older and in fair condition. There are 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings. 

There is a free-standing webbed climber, a speaker system, several slides, a rock wall, a steering wheel, and lots of bars and poles. 

If you come down Wales you'll be stopped by these big blocks. There's no place to park and it's a hike to the playground from here.

The best way to go is down Somerset to Wheaton.  You can see the lake in the center of this residential neighborhood.

Playground Ground Cover: Grass

This little playground is rather plain. But it is completely enclosed with a fence so that's a nice feature. There is a small covered pavilion but no restrooms.

There is one play structure and it has slides, a speaker, a maze, a steering wheel, a small tunnel, and various bars and poles.
