Playground ground cover: Poured rubber

The park is in the St. Louis Hills area, in south St. Louis City.  Ted Drewes (on Chippewa) is only a few blocks away. There are both baby swings and sling swings, and play structures for toddlers and school-aged kids.



The playground is in the center of the park near the tennis and pickleball courts. There is lots of street parking on all sides of the park. 



They finally updated the bathrooms in 2019, and added some picnic benches as well. 









The smaller play structure has slides, a chain climber, and an activity board. 


These spring ride on animals have been removed. 





















Little Free Library across the park at Hope church.



Cool new snake sculpture in the park


Next to the playground is the Rockwell beer garden! It came on the scene in 2021 and it's a nice place to sit and have a drink.
