Location:  300 Halsey Road, Saint Louis, MO 63125
(note there are multiple entrances into the park, and the playground/sprayground are located at the corner of Boundary Rd. and Sherman Ave)

Website: https://stlouiscountymo.gov/st-louis-county-departments/parks/places/sylvan-springs-park/

Playground ground cover: poured rubber

The playground and splashpad are in full sun, but there are nice stone-shaded shelters across the parking lot to picnic in. The playground has 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings, a couple bouncy motorcycles, a boat (it spins but is very difficult to turn), a small climbing structure with 2 slides, a climbing wall, and a climbing chain rope. The bathrooms are clean and located right next to the playground which is nice. 

The sprayground is really the highlight of this park. There are pop jets and an arch that sprays water down on anyone who walks thru it. It's large compared to a lot of splash pads in town and has a variety of water play. There is no fence around the playground/sprayground area and it's not too far from the main road, so make sure to watch your little runners!























Large covered pavilion with BBQ pits next to the playground



The skate park is not too far away. It's large and has a lot of great features and is open to skateboards, BMX bikes, scooters, and rollerblades.
