Sanders Park, Crestwood





Location: Bounded by Sanders Dr and Clover Ln, Crestwood MO 63126

Website: https://www.cityofcrestwood.org/Facilities

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber & wood chips

This little neighborhood park is a gem.  It's not a large playground but it is somewhat shady and has some fun features. There are 4 baby swings, 2 slides, a rock wall, a small tunnel, a store window, and a steering wheel. There is a creek running right next to the playground though, and we will definitely be back when it's warmer to play in it. There is a drinking fountain and some benches but no restrooms.

There is another playground at the other end of the park. This park is long and skinny and each end has a playground. 






 The walking path leads the way into the creek


 Gravois Creek runs right through the park












The second playground is at the north end of the park. 





It's just one play structure with drums, slides, a pretend window, and 2 ride-on insects.
