Pleasant Ridge Park, in the northern part of the city, is the largest of the two community parks with 95 acres. The park offers wintertime sledding. A bit of very early Fairview Heights history is represented in the park in the form of a 2-story log cabin, a structure built about 1850 by the Kinsella family. Our Parks and Recreation page has more information on the history of the Kinsella Log Cabin. Other facilities in the park are 4 picnic pavilions, a playground, 2 restrooms, and open space for passive recreation. 

The playground is smaller, but it is enclosed with a wooden fence. The play structure is 2 stories with several slides, a bubble window, a zip line, and a bouncing bench.

Location: 617 Chatelet, Manchester, MO 63021

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

Playground ground cover: wood chips

This is a small but cute neighborhood park. It's older but in good condition. It would be good for toddlers, and the play structure is small.  There is 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.
