Endicott Park, St. John




Location: 2950 Endicott Ave., St. John, MO 63114

Website: https://stlouiscountymo.gov/st-louis-county-departments/parks/places/endicott-park/

Playground Ground Cover: Rubber mats

This park was turned over to the City of St. John for a few years in the 1990's but then returned to the County. The playground, shelter, and restroom were renovated in 2001 using funds from St. Louis County’s metropolitan park funds. The park includes a playground, disc golf, athletic fields, and a shelter.

The parking lot is a bit of a walk from the playground.  The playground is right next to a pavilion and restrooms. There are 2 play structures, one for big kids and one for littles.



The restrooms were clean and there was a baby changing station.






The small playground has an abacus, some slides, a tunnel, a tic tac toe board,  and a pretend window.


The large play structure has a rolling log, tunnel, gear window, a small rock wall, steering wheel, slides, and tons of bars and poles.















They are currently ripping up the tennis courts and replacing them.

Reed Park, St. John



Location: 3602 Edmundson Rd, St. John, MO 63114

Website: http://www.cityofstjohn.org/index.php/city-parks.html

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

Located on the west side of the City at the intersections of Edmundson Road and North Avenue, Reed Park is a small "pocket park" that was created when a resident donated two house lots to the City. The park has a playground with rubberized safety surfacing, and has a high fence surrounding it. It's a perfect place for parents to bring small children and let them burn off some energy.

This park is small but completely enclosed with a gate so it would be great for toddlers.  There's no signage but it's not hard to spot. Also keep in mind there are no restrooms.


 There is one play structure and some swings. 



 The play structure has 2 slides, and some bars and poles.


Plenty of parking on the street but no dedicated parking lot.
