This is a great inclusive playground. It's tucked in a neighborhood subdivision and has many amenities in addition to the playground. The playground itself looks relatively new and is in great condition. There is a baby area and a bigger structure. The baby area has a log that you can climb on, a slide, a steering wheel, and a little rock climber. The bigger structure features 2 slides, ramps, and a circular spider web-looking climber. The entire structure is made to look like a tree house. There are 3 sling swings, 2 baby swings, and 1 adaptive swing. There are also some mushroom stools to sit on and a bunch of benches. The restrooms are clean and has a drinking fountain. The sand volleyball court would be fun to play in as well for little guys.

Playground ground cover: Poured rubber, astroturf, and wood chips

Watson Trail Park has 2 great playgrounds. The main "upper" one by the parking lot was redone in 2021. It's huge with something for everyone. It's close to the parking lot and has several covered pavilions and restrooms. They added a zipline in 2024. 

                              

The play structures are tall with tons of slides, climbers, a bridge, stepping stones, bars, and poles. 

There is a misting pole in the center that feels good on a hot day.

Boulder and Web Climber

Modified merry-go-round

There are 2 sling swings, 2 adaptive swings, and an expression swing for 2 people.

Behind the swings is the zipline

A liberty swing! There are only a few of these in town. The other 2 are at 

Campbell-Chapman Sports Complex in Sullivan and Union City Park in Union. 

You can find drums and several xylophones over by the astroturf area.

This smaller structure is perfect for toddlers with a little slide, climber, tunnel, drums, and manipulatives.

Stand up spinner

There is a second "lower" playground which you reach by taking the trail down through the woods, around the lake. This playground was replaced in late 2016, it is shaded and has an incredible zip line you can stand or sit on. 

So many ducks are here and they are fun to watch. They even have a little house in the middle of the lake. 

Lots of nice paved trails through the park

There is a drinking fountain down here but no restrooms. They are up the hill in the pavilion at the main playground. 

 The playground has a natural theme of rocks and logs made into a balance beam and stepping stones. 

 There are several picnic tables and a rope climber

My daughter was obsessed with the zip line! 

 The main play structure has a slide, a pole, a speaker, and a log tunnel. 

 This wood climbing structure is different, I've never seen it before. 

Amazing park! Def one of the best in St. Louis
