Legion Park, Eureka



Location: 333 Bald Hill Rd., Eureka, MO 63025

Website: http://www.eureka.mo.us/departments/parks-recreation/park-locations-amenities/

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

This park has a new playground as of June 2018. There are lots of big umbrellas over it so it's partly shady as well. The only negative is that the restrooms are in the community center, and if that's closed you'll have to go across the street to Lions Park and that's a bit of a walk for little ones.


There is one play structure, and it's got ramps, so it's accessible to everyone. It has bridges, slides, fun activity boards, a rocking boat, rock walls, pretend storefronts, and more. What a great addition to Eureka and a huge improvement over the playground that used to be here!

The old community center is in this park. The Timbers of Eureka is the new rec center, but they still use this building for lots of community events and classes. There are also ball fields here.

Kircher Park in Eureka has tons of open grassy space to run around, with a smallish playground suitable for preschoolers and school-aged kids. The playground has 3 big slides, a smaller slide, and a preschool slide. There's also a bouncy thing to jump on and hand-over-hand bars. The park has 2 large picnic shelters, plus a small gazebo shelter with one table in it. There is a trail that connects it to Route 66 State Park, which has many options for walking and biking. The basketball goal is a home hoop that is chained to the bike rack so it can't be stolen. 




2 large pavilions next to the playground

Bowlby Park, Eureka




Location: 807 Williams Drive, Eureka, MO 63025

Amenities: Playground

Website: https://www.eureka.mo.us/156/Parks-Facilities

Playground ground cover: Poured rubber

This is a small neighborhood park. There are 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings. There is a rock wall, lots of climbing features, a little bridge, and a musical structure featuring drums and bells. There are a lot of benches, and it's never crowded because it's tucked back in the Augustine Heights subdivision. Very quaint park! Just know that there are no bathrooms. It's so small, I think it's a perfect playground for toddlers.
