The park features a playground, tennis courts, splash pad, 1/2 mile trail, and football/soccer/baseball fields.

In 2020 a splash pad with a river bed was installed. 




Step on this to make the water sprayers come on.


The creek has a little dam you can lift to let the water go out.

Janet Majerus Park, University City



Location: Raymond and Partridge Aves, University City, MO 63130

Website: http://www.ucitymo.org/105/Parks

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

This playground was redone in 2019 and has some really great features. The colors are bright and there are tons of things to climb on. The play structure for older kids has floating steps, a rock wall, and a chain climber. The play structure for little guys has a slide, 2 maze boards, and more things to climb on.




I like the covered picnic tables in the center of the playground.









                This is the start of the 1/3 mile walking trail complete with fitness stations.




There is one baby swing, one adaptive swing, one modified expression swing, and 2 sling swings. 


Beautiful lake near the playground! 


There is lots of street parking but no restrooms.

Heman Pool, University City



Location: 7210 Olive Blvd., University City, MO 63130

Heman Pool is an older pool. It was built in 1933! It isn't new and fancy but it can still be fun. It has a small slide, some inflatable pool toys, and a small kiddie pool next to the big pool. The big pool has 2 diving boards and lap lanes. They are open daily from noon to 8:00 p.m.

Non residents can swim here but you need an ID card which costs $7. Then you can pay daily rates to swim for the rest of the summer. Non resident adults pay $7, resident adults pay $6. Non resident kids under 17 pay $6 and resident kids pay $3.
