Playground Ground Cover: Wood Chips

This playground could use some more wood chips but besides that it's great. The structure is very large and tall so it is best suited for kids over 5. There is a pavilion and restrooms right next to it.




There are 3 different slides, a bridge, a small tunnel, pretend storefronts, bubble window, modified rock wall, and tons of poles and bars.

Canter Way Park, Overland



Location: 10400 Canter Way Dr, Overland, MO 63114

Website: http://www.overlandmo.org/236/Canter-Way-Park

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

This playground is amazing! It has been newly renovated and has some very neat features. My kids loved the zipline! It's a full-body one, not like the usual ones you hang from. And there is a boat that rocks also. The entire playground is all inclusive for all abilities too! It was very clean and welcoming. I just wish they had restrooms.




There is an adaptive swing, a baby swing, and 2 sling swings. 


The play structure for little guys has an interesting modified rock wall, a couple slides, and a treasure tumbler. There is also a pretend storefront and a speaker system.


There is also a tunnel and some drums. 




The larger play structure has ramps, slides, a rocking boat, drums, an activity window, a steering wheel,
musical board, and tons of bars and poles.

Team Central Open Gym, Maryland Heights



Location: 2675 Metro Blvd, Maryland Heights, MO 63043

Website: http://www.teamcentral.org/

The preschool open gym description isn't real clear but it's the last Saturday of every month.  My daughter had a blast! She got to play on the balance beams, bars, vault, trampoline, foam pit, rope, floor, and other random pieces of equipment. 










They have lots of cute leotards for sale. They also had a snack section with bagged chips.
