Tot Lot, St. Peters

Location: 259 Bellemeade Dr, St. Peters, MO 63376

Playground Ground Cover: Rubber mats

Yay for enclosed playgrounds! This one is great and was renovated in 2009. There are 2 baby swings, 1 adaptive swing, and 1 sling swing. The bathrooms are close by and so is the parking lot. It's geared more toward kids under 5 but I am sure some grade-schoolers would also enjoy it. They have a modified see-saw, stepping stones, balance beams, steering wheels, rock walls, musical instruments, activity boards, and more!

Amenities:  Paved trail, play area, portable bathroom, picnic tables, benches

This is the perfect play area for toddlers.  It is set up like a town with play structures representing an ice cream store, a drive-thru restaurant, school, fire station, house, gas station, and a mailbox.  Bring ride on toys and/or bikes and drive on the flat "road" that goes around the play area. There are also swings (2 slings & 2 babies), a slide, a balance beam, and several ride-on toys (police car, motorcycles).  The park is partly shaded.  It is tucked away in a neighborhood and doesn't ever seem to be very busy.

This was the old kiddie pool

New splash pad

Unfortunately, this pool is older and sometimes experiences mechanical issues. The Cove at St. Peters is their new pool and they're directing people to swim there when that occurs.

Mid Rivers Mall, St. Peters

Location:  1600 Mid Rivers Mall Dr., St. Peters, MO 63376

Amenities: indoor playground

Website: http://www.shopmidriversmall.com/

Playground ground cover: poured rubber (covered by rug)

The indoor play area is located on the first floor outside the Sears department store. There's a bridge slide, tunnel, and only one entrance into the play area so you guard the entrance and keep your kiddos from escaping. Best for toddler and preschool-aged children. I love how the carpet was designed around the play pieces to look like a park.
