Logan's Community Playground, South County




Location: 11333 St. John Church Rd., St. Louis, MO 63123

Website: https://unlimitedplay.org/playground/logans_community_playground/?fbclid=IwAR05_KDoboCME0q0P4Qd8RPQF1egb_VriJBr-Prkw4d9C6I2QFd3jvZ8ABY

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber


This is the latest and greatest playground in the area by Unlimited Play. The playground is at St. John's Evangelical Church of Christ. It's named after a 12-year-old congregant who lost his life in a terrible accident. His family along with other members decided to honor him by building an inclusive playground. The playground is entirely fenced in and includes a saucer swing, musical instruments, educational play panels, graduated climbing elements, parallel play, transfer stations, ramps, specialized seating and handhelds, an inclusive spinner, slides, and a cool racecar.




The only shade is this covered bench outside the playground.


There is a large covered pavilion here and a huge parking lot but no restrooms. 


The entire playground is fenced in with 2 locking gates. Just pull up to get the gate to open. 



















Love the racing details
