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.
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
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
