South St. Louis Square Park, St. Louis City



Location: 7701 S. Broadway, St. Louis, MO 63111

Website: https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/parks/parks/browse-parks/view-park.cfm?parkID=78&parkName=St.%20Louis%20Square%20Park

Playground Ground Cover: Poured rubber

This playground was installed in 2006 and is the Carondelet neighborhood of the city. In 2005 artists from the Gateway Gallery Artists' Co-op in Clayton painted a mural showing people enjoying themselves in a park on the side of the South Public Super Market that adjoins the park.








2 photos from the website to show a different angle



The playstructure has a rock wall, several slides, a pretend window, a bridge, and lots of bars and poles.  There are 6 sling swings and 2 baby swings.

Also in this park is the restored stone Anton Schmitt House. "It was moved to the park in the 1990s from property owned by Monsanto, said NiNi Harris, a historian and author on St. Louis topics who lives in the Carondelet neighborhood. The house is typical of stone homes built by German immigrants before the Civil War, Harris said."  The gray limestone house was built in 1859!!!!




There is a restroom building but I did not go inside.
