Klondike Park, Augusta

Location: 4600 S. Missouri 91, Augusta, MO 63332

Website: https://www.sccmo.org/690/Klondike-Park

Playground Ground Cover: Rubber Mats

Klondike is a beautiful and unique park. It has more than 4 miles of natural and paved trails for hiking and biking. Once the site of an old silica sand quarry, the area has been preserved and turned into beautiful parkland. A unique lookout bluff provides picturesque views of the Missouri River Valley, as well as the historic Katy Trail.

This cozy camping retreat, nestled in Missouri’s wine country, has become a preferred camping destination. Spend a relaxing weekend camping under the stars close to home! It features six rustic cabins that sleep up to eight guests, 43 campsites with restrooms, and a shower house nearby.

With a modern meeting facility on-site, it’s the perfect location for a family or business outing. It also features a large fishing lake fully stocked with bluegill, bass, and catfish and free boat ramps to access the Missouri River. A unique birding/wildlife area, picnic shelters, and playgrounds for children are just a few more amenities to enjoy while at Klondike Park.

This is the only playground, it's mostly just a large climbing structure. 

Restrooms

Close to this playground is the 'beach' access. There is real white sand here because of its past as a silica quarry. But please don't swim here, swimming is NOT allowed. 

This is one of the 'playgrounds' but it's just 2 sling swings.
