This playground is right next to the aquatic center.  There are 3 playgrounds, 2 for kids over 5 and 1 for the younger set.



There are 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings



The smaller play structure has pretend store fronts, slides, speakers, rock walls, steering wheels, tunnel, tic tac toe boards, activity boards, a little bridge, stepping stones, and more! It's a great area for toddlers! It's also partly shaded which is a big bonus.


















The bigger structure has slides, rock walls, and tons of bars and poles.



In 2020 they added a new playground in the middle of these 2 playgrounds. You can tell it's new because it's green and the other 2 playgrounds are blue and yellow. 


Big spinning globe

Restrooms


The play structure has it all, including lots of things to climb on, things to spin, slides, monkey bars, and more.

Woodson Park, Overland



Location: 1655 Woodson Rd, Overland, MO 63114

Website: http://overlandmo.org/241/Woodson-Road-Park

Playground Ground Cover: Pea Gravel

This park is older but in good condition. This park is 6.5 acres and has a gazebo, 5 lighted tennis courts, and electricity at the gazebo.

There are no swings here but the play structure is a decent size. It has several slides, a steering wheel, a bridge, and tons of bars and poles. I just hate that it has pea gravel. This park is best suited for bigger kids.
