Amenities: Playground, picnic shelter

Website: http://manchestermo.gov/923/City-Parks

Playground ground cover: wood chips

A small neighborhood park with several slides and 1 baby swing and 1 sling swing. Street parking only - watch for no parking signs as you can only park on one side of the street in this neighborhood. There is no shade for the playground either, at least there is one enclosed slide that stays cool on sunny days. There is no sign for the park but you can't miss it, it's right on a corner.

Baxter Acres Park, Manchester

Location: 300 Spring Meadows, Manchester, MO 63021

Amenities: playground, picnic shelter

Website: http://manchestermo.gov/923/City-Parks

Playground ground cover: Wood chips

This little pocket park has a play structure with several slides, as well as a merry-go-round and a swing set with 1 baby swing and 1 regular swing. There is something for all ages here. Negatives include the playground being in the sun, which means hot slides in the summertime. It is also very close to the road so not a quiet, relaxing setting, but for a quick park to stop and kill some time with the kids, it works.

There's also a creek here that's not hard to get to!

There is a small parking lot next to the playground, but unfortunately, there are no restrooms.

Schroeder Park has a huge playground with areas for all ages. It's one of my favorite parks in the area because the playground is so big and there's such a huge variety of things to do. There are lots of slides, baby swings (2), regular swings (7) and an adaptive swing. There is a sandbox, mallet xylophone, several spring rider toys (animals, cars, etc), a digging area in a sandpit, a merry-go-round, fake boulders to climb on, and a rolley slide. Manchester Aquatic Center is also located here.

This long bouncy thing is always a hit with my kids. One will stand at one end and the other one at the other end and one will jump and try to knock each other off.

The yellow thing in the back is the "digger" and that's a big sandpit.

The big play structure has tunnels, tic tac toe boards, maze boards, rock walls, slides, and more.

They have this smaller playground separated from the main playground. There are 2 swings, 2 spring animals, and a play structure down here.
