Stacy Park, Olivette





Location:  9750 Old Bonhomme, Olivette, MO 63132

Amenities: Playground, picnic shelter, fitness trail, ballfields

Website: http://www.olivetteparksandrec.com/stacy-park.html

Playground ground cover: Poured rubber and wood chips

This is a fun and busy park. There are a lot of picnic tables here and I frequently see them filled during lunchtime by people who work nearby (they're usually dressed in business attire). The playground is amazing! There are actually 2 separate playgrounds and the one for toddlers is enclosed by a fence which I love. There is a wide variety of equipment, including swings, teeter-totters, tic tac toe boards, spring ride-on toys, rock walls, tunnels, etc. We keep returning because the playground is so big and fun.






















Nice bonus, the restrooms in the pavilion are open year-round!
















There are 2 baby swings and 4 sling swings.

The Pointe at Ballwin Commons, Ballwin


Location: #1 Ballwin Commons Circle, Ballwin, MO 63021

Amenities: playground, restrooms, picnic shelter, lake, volleyball, basketball

Website: http://www.ballwin.mo.us/Departments/Parks-and-Recreation/The-Pointe-at-Ballwin-Commons/

Playground ground cover: wood chips under swings, poured rubber under the playground, sand under bouncy toys, and boulder.

This large playground has a little something for all ages - 4 sling swings, 2 baby bucket swings, tunnels (both low and high), slides, hand-over-hand bars, balance beams, bouncy toys, and a large merry-go-round. The equipment is a little old but it's in good shape. It is in full sun. The rubber surface material really needs to be replaced. 




Zipline

















This is the view of the rec center, there is no restroom at this playground so just keep in mind the nearest bathroom is in that building and it's a bit of a hike for little ones.
