Location: 5705 South Lindbergh, St. Louis, MO 63123

Amenities: playground, picnic shelter, trails, playground, restroom, ball fields, tennis courts, horseshoe pits

Website: https://stlouiscountymo.gov/st-louis-county-departments/parks/places/bohrer-park/

Playground ground cover: Poured rubber

This playground was redone in 2018. The old playground desperately needed to be replaced and this new one is awesome! They got rid of the dreaded pea gravel and replaced it with poured rubber. They also added an expression swing and a zipline!


 There is playground equipment spread out everywhere, not the usual one for bigs and one for littles configuration. They have a small slide, a spinning seat, a rope climber, a rock wall climber, a zip line, swings, and a spray pole.













They have an adaptive swing, a baby swing, and 2 sling swings at the playground proper. There are older ones down the path in the shade as well.

The bathrooms are still old with no doors on the stalls, but at least they have them.

Playground ground cover: Poured rubber

Florissant redid this playground in 2021. It is a huge improvement over the old one. It has 2 separate play structures, one for bigs and one for littles.  The John F. Kennedy Community Center is located here and they have a ton of great events throughout the year. The new splash pad is amazing! One of the best in North County for sure. It's completely enclosed with a fence and has a large variety of sprayers and jets. 

























The new playground is right next to the splash pad. They also redid the restrooms. The smaller play structure has slides, drums, speakers, a small bridge, and pretend window.





There are 4 sling swings and 2 baby swings


There is a free-standing boulder and an old-school merry-go-round.


The large play structure has a bridge, chain climber, rock wall, slides, tic-tac-toe board, monkey bars, and lots of bars and poles. 


















There are several game tables scattered around the outside of the playground.
