Legion Park, Eureka



Location: 333 Bald Hill Rd., Eureka, MO 63025

Website: http://www.eureka.mo.us/departments/parks-recreation/park-locations-amenities/

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

This park has a new playground as of June 2018. There are lots of big umbrellas over it so it's partly shady as well. The only negative is that the restrooms are in the community center, and if that's closed you'll have to go across the street to Lions Park and that's a bit of a walk for little ones.


There is one play structure, and it's got ramps, so it's accessible to everyone. It has bridges, slides, fun activity boards, a rocking boat, rock walls, pretend storefronts, and more. What a great addition to Eureka and a huge improvement over the playground that used to be here!

The old community center is in this park. The Timbers of Eureka is the new rec center, but they still use this building for lots of community events and classes. There are also ball fields here.

Playground ground cover: Poured rubber

This park is a quiet retreat into nature. The playground was replaced in 2017 and is really nice. Located at the back of a subdivision, it is not crowded and has a small playground suitable for all ages. The playground is mostly shaded, too! It also has a bathroom and a cute little pavilion. This playground is a great little space and would be perfect for a birthday party!


This area has a saucer swing, a spinning disk, and a basketball court. 


The main playground has one play structure. It has a large rock wall, a couple of slides, a tunnel, a steering wheel, and lots of bars and poles. 














This park has lovely shaded trails through the woods



There is a lake stocked with fish as well
