Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber & wood chips

This little neighborhood park is a gem.  It's not a large playground but it is somewhat shady and has some fun features. There are 4 baby swings, 2 slides, a rock wall, a small tunnel, a store window, and a steering wheel. There is a creek running right next to the playground though, and we will definitely be back when it's warmer to play in it. There is a drinking fountain and some benches but no restrooms.

There is another playground at the other end of the park. This park is long and skinny and each end has a playground. 

 The walking path leads the way into the creek

 Gravois Creek runs right through the park

The second playground is at the north end of the park. 

It's just one play structure with drums, slides, a pretend window, and 2 ride-on insects. 

Mackenzie Hills Park, Affton

Location: Mackenzie Rd. and Deerpath Dr., St. Louis, MO 63123

Amenities: Playground, basketball court, ball field

Website: none

Playground ground cover: pea gravel

This playground is so secluded I can't find anything online to prove it even exists except for my pictures! It is down a hill and next to a creek in a subdivision in Shrewsbury. I like it because I have never seen anyone else playing there, but I don't really like the pea gravel. It is small, with just the basketball court and ball field adjacent to the playground. There are no buildings or bathrooms nearby, but there are benches.

Small creek next to the playground

Big slide going down the hill to the playground

Teeter Totter, 3 sling swings, and 1 baby swing.

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

As of late 2022, everything here is brand new. The old playground wasn't even old and was in great condition, but this playground is much nicer, and is inclusive for everyone!

There's no sign entrance to this playground, but it's just west of the Rec Plex.  If you look at this map it's circled in red.

New restrooms that are open during winter (yay!).

Spencer Creek is easily accessible from the playground.

The playground is completely enclosed with a fence. 

Brand new covered pavilion next to the playground.

This playground has everything you could ever want. There are lots of maze boards and gears on the equipment. There's a rolley slide, a caterpillar to climb on, a rocking boat, an amazing zipline, musical equipment, things that spin, and even a creek.

Modified teeter-totter

The zipline has a high back seat and a regular seat for standing or sitting.

There are 2 adaptive swings, a sling swing, and a baby swing. 

2 saucer swings

Cool bench

Cool stumps to climb

The large play structure features a tree house design with slides, ramps, and various boards.

The merry-go-round is built into the ground so it's accessible to everyone

Love the accessible ramps 

This playground is connected to the Rec Plex via a nice walking trail that also goes past the gazebo and lake. What a great addition to St. Peters!
