Gentry Park in Bridgeton was replaced in 2025, and I love the new astroturf flooring. It's mostly enclosed, but there are open spots without gates. The restrooms are close by and so is the parking lot. There is a large covered pavilion, but it's down a hill a little way.
This 37-acre park is the home of the Bridgeton Community Center, Bridgeton Crossing Family Aquatic Park, and the Payne-Gentry Historical House. Hickory Woods Natural Area is a 10.5-acre tract adjacent to Gentry Park, which includes a 1-mile walking trail.
The playground is a short walk from the parking lot.
The larger play structure has slides, ramps, interactive boards, a rock wall, and more.
There is a we-go-round, a seated spinner, as well as musical instruments.
Up the path is a restroom building, the swings, and a cable tower climber.
There is one baby swing, one ADA-compliant swing, and four sling swings.
