Playground ground cover: poured rubber

This small park is within walking distance from downtown Kirkwood and has a small playground, but the best part of it is its proximity to the railroad tracks which run thru the heart of Kirkwood. You can get up-close views of the trains as they pass by from the park. It's also next door to the police department.

The playground is best for younger children. There's a merry-go-round, a small slide structure, bouncy cars, and 2 baby swings.

The Agnes Nolting Aquatic Complex was completely redone in 2021. Everything is brand new.

They offer tot time too for kids aged 7 and under. The child must be accompanied by an adult 16 years or older. The large slide will not be available during this time.  It runs from June to August on select days from 10:00am – 11:30 am. It's only $2 per person! 

This was the old main building, it has been replaced as of 2021. Not sure what they're going to do with it now but they're keeping it for historic purposes. 

Must be 48" to go down the slide. 

My kids loved the "waterfall" aka cascade wall.

This is the area they reserve for parties. It's outdoors but covered. 

The splash pad area is fenced in and separated from the rest of the pool area.
