O'Connor Park, Bridgeton

Location: 12798 Hemet Ln, Bridgeton, MO 63044

Website: https://www.bridgetonmo.com/458/Parks

Playground Ground Cover: Wood Chips

This playground is large and includes 2 huge play structures. There are no swings. There is a pavilion and a restroom building but it's a bit of a walk to get there.

This park is in the Carrollton subdivision which was destroyed for the airport expansion which never happened. The whole area was razed and just sits there vacant. It's a bit eerie.

Usually, one play structure is for littles and one for big kids but honestly, both of these look like they're for big kids. The yellow one has a couple slides and various bars and poles. The green one has 3 slides, and various bars and poles.

 Ball field next to playground

You can see the restroom building and pavilion in the distance

This place is fun! When you walk in there is an information desk where you can decide how much money you want to spend. I spent $14 and got a card loaded with 60 chips on it. Each game is about 3-5 chips and it lasted my 2 kids about 30 mins which was plenty. They felt like they played a bunch of stuff and when we ran out of chips I said it was time to go because our money was gone and they were OK with that. If you win tickets they load those onto the card also and you just insert the card into a reader to see how many tickets you have. It's WAY easier than feeding 500 tickets into a machine that counts them (ahem Chuck E. Cheese). We won 188 tickets which was only enough for a piddly piece of laffy taffy. Most of the prizes were hundreds and hundreds of tickets, but you can keep your card and bring it next time and keep adding to it, which is nice. There is a restaurant right in the Midway where the games are, as well as one that is closer to the entrance. The menu looked good but we didn't order anything. They have private banquet rooms and do kid parties also.
