DeMun Park, Clayton

                                     


Location: 810 DeMun Ave, Clayton, MO 63105

Website: http://www.claytonmo.gov/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/28/314

Playground ground cover: Wood chips

This is a small little neighborhood playground in Clayton. I like it because it's fenced in and the equipment is all small so it's perfect for toddlers. There are drinking fountains and restrooms. It is also right next door to an adorable candy shop. 

Clayton replaced the play equipment in the summer of 2019. The park is shaped like a long rectangle with 2 separate play areas, one at each end of the park. I have seen kids on their bikes and riding toys on the paths that connect the two. 




The play structure for little guys has a couple of slides, some free-standing maze boards, 2 sling swings, 1 baby swing, and an adorable little Kaldi's playhouse. 







On the other end of the park is the play equipment for kids over 5. The play structure has a rolly slide, a climbing boulder, a regular slide, a pretend window, and some monkey bars.  There are 2 sling swings and 1 baby swing. There are several musical instruments, including two drums and a xylophone.  They also have some stepping stones and a forked balance beam.







Cute flower bed in the corner.



Tiny little picnic tables!

Playground ground cover: poured rubber and wood chips

This is a great inclusive playground. It's tucked in a neighborhood subdivision and has many amenities in addition to the playground. The playground itself looks relatively new and is in great condition. There is a baby area and a bigger structure. The baby area has a log that you can climb on, a slide, a steering wheel, and a little rock climber. The bigger structure features 2 slides, ramps, and a circular spider web-looking climber. The entire structure is made to look like a tree house. There are 3 sling swings, 2 baby swings, and 1 adaptive swing. There are also some mushroom stools to sit on and a bunch of benches. The restrooms are clean and has a drinking fountain. The sand volleyball court would be fun to play in as well for little guys.
