Located just north of Aquaport, in front of Dogport the dog park, this tiny park features a playground, a small pavilion, and restrooms.  There is no sign for the park, but if you see the Dogport sign you're there because they're right next to each other.  The play structure has a few slides, a tunnel, a bridge, and a tic-tac-toe board.

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

This is a wonderful park. The pavilion and bathroom building are new as of 2018. There are 2 baby swings, 2 sling swings, a big geometric-shaped climber, some springing animals, and a play structure.  The basketball courts here are new and the Warson Woods pool is here too, although you can not swim there unless you are a member.

Drinking fountain

  Beautiful grill/fireplace

This would be cozy on a fall night, and they even have a ton of wood sitting there to make a fire with.

Basketball and tennis courts

Some parts of the park are shaded and there are picnic benches all around

Nice little shaded fire pit

 There are 3 springing ride-on animals, a turtle, and 2 horses

The play structure is for ages 5 and up and has a tic tac toe board, steering wheel, slides, and lots of bars and poles.

This is a small park but very quiet and well-maintained. It would be a great spot for a party because of the pavilion and everything is right there next to the parking lot.
