Location: 2855 Krem Ave., Overland, MO 63114

Website: https://www.overlandmo.org/Facilities/Facility/Details/Mort-Jacobs-Park-10

Playground Ground Cover: poured rubber

This park is amazing. It's new and quiet and pretty and has everything, even a creek. It was redone in Dec 2017 and includes 2 play structures, musical equipment, modified merry go round, boulders and logs to climb, and a large spiderweb climber.

xylophones

The large play structure is 3 stories tall so probably not the best for toddlers.

There is a baby swing, an adaptive swing, and 4 sling swings

The small play structure has drums, a steering wheel, tic tac toe board, and a slide

Restroom building and pavilion near by

The creek is down that path

modified merry go round and log to balance on

This playground was not busy when we visited and the neighborhood is quiet and cute. This is definitely a great park to play in!

Playground Ground Cover: wood chips

This park is hella cool. It's a big baseball park and the playground is all baseball-themed. They have 6 baseball fields and 3 soccer fields. The pavilion is used as a concession stand during games and can't be rented during that time.

There is a fake boulder to climb, and 2 playgrounds, one for over 5 and one for under 5. Everything is in full sun.

2 sling swings

The big play structure has it all, maze boards, a modified teeter totter, slides, a rock wall, a chain climber, pretend windows, a steering wheel, and tons of bars and poles.
