Oak Valley Water Park, Pevely


Location: 1230 Abbey Ln., Pevely, MO 63070

Website: https://www.facebook.com/p/Oak-Valley-Resort-Water-Park-And-Recreation-100054875264996/

This pool is open daily from 11 am-6 pm and on Sundays from 1-6 pm. This facility was a private Teamsters resort, and it sat empty for years. It's under new ownership and they're bringing it back to life. Also on this property is a golf course, RV park, overnight cabins, a banquet hall, and a stocked fishing lake. The Teamsters have owned the property since 1959, but I can't find out what year the pool was built. It's not ancient, but it's showing some age.




Small, shallow baby pool near the entrance.



They had tons of tables with umbrellas next to the concession stand.






 They have such a great kids' area! Zero entry, tire swing, 2 big slides, and pop jets galore mean any kid will love this.


Here's a cool feature: they have a tiny baby pool sectioned off from the regular pool. 






2 speed slides on the water playground, plus a tunnel and a couple other slides. 











2 diving boards

Ferd B. Lang Park, Arnold








Location: 1820 Old Lemay Ferry Rd, Arnold, MO 63010

Website:  http://arnoldmo.org/government/departments/parks-recreation/parks/ferd-b-lang-park/

Playground Ground Cover: Wood chips

 This park has it all in addition to the playground:

• Hiking Trails
• 2 Grass Multi-Purpose Fields
• 5 Horseshoe pits
• 3 Sand Volleyball Courts
• Arnold Jaycees Skate Park
• Half Basketball Court
• Paw Park for dogs
• Restrooms
and 5 pavilions with electrical outlets and BBQ pits at each site, ready for rental.

There are 2 playgrounds here, across the parking lot from each other. This playground is rather small. There are 2 baby swings and one play structure. It has a couple of slides, a rock wall, and some bars and poles. This is best suited for toddlers.















 I didn't go into the restrooms, so I don't know what condition they are in.

This new playground was added in 2025. It's a large play structure and it has slides, drums, a gear board, speakers, and lots of bars and poles for climbing. 



There are 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings.
