From the website, "Rich in St. Charles County history, this 109-acre park features a reconstructed 1800s historical homestead, formerly known as the “Pink Plantation,” and features paved and natural surface trails, a large fishing pond, picnic areas, a forest-themed playground and a series of interlinked scenic rain gardens for the public to enjoy. Experience history, nature and education all coming together at Towne Park, including the only certified nature explore classroom in St. Charles County."

Nature Classrooms are amazing, here's a post about the rest of them in the area. The nature classroom is at the end of the post after the playground.

 Restrooms and pavilion 

 Large parking lot

This playground is so cool! It's one big play structure and it's nature themed. It has several slides, a rock wall, a periscope, a climbing wall with a rope, a modified rock wall, speakers, stepping stones, a rope climber, and lots of bars and poles.

 On the other side of this lake is the nature classroom. It's amazing!!!!

Periscope

Follow the sign to the nature classroom. It's a very short walk from the parking lot. 

You can ride this bike and it makes water come out and run down the chute into the creek. The kids loved it!

 So many fun musical instruments here!

I highly recommend this park, it's got everything kids need for imaginative play.
