Royal Park, Moline Acres

 

Location: 2454 Chambers Rd., Moline Acres, MO 63136

Website: https://www.cityofmolineacres.org/departments

Playground Ground Cover: Grass & wood chips

This park has seen better days. The picnic tables are being destroyed and there definitely needs to be more mulch around the merry-go-round. The equipment is older but seems to be in fair shape. There are 3 sling swings, 2 baby swings, several slides, 2 rocking horses, a pretend window, and lots of bars and poles. There are no restrooms and parking is limited. 

Pretty sad that people are trying to burn the picnic tables.

This playground is west of the Bella Fontaine Park, and was acquired in 1975 with funds from the 1969 Bond Issue and the federal Land & Water Conservation Fund. It was partially developed in 1979. The final development was completed in 1981 with the addition of 4 softball fields and parking for 50 cars. It is connected to the main area by Maple Tree Trail that crosses Maline Creek by bridge and Highway 367 at an unguarded crossing.

There is just one play structure, and it has several slides, a rock wall, a pretend window, stepping stones, and lots of bars and poles.  There is a large pavilion nearby and lots of parking.
