Jackson park is a small park in Berkeley. There is no signage but it's right next door to the new police dept and fire station and the pavilion looks new too.

There is just one play structure and it's rather small. It has 2 slides, a small rock wall, an ABC ramp, a pretend window, a tiny bridge and a maze board. I think there are restrooms in the pavilion.

This 10 acre park is very close to Aubuchon Park.  It has a nice playground and the restrooms and covered pavilion are right there, so I consider this a great playground. There are 2 play structures, and the small one has a bridge, some slides, a pretend window, and a small rock wall.

Basketball Court

The larger play structure has a bridge, slides, tons of bars and poles, monkey bars, and a bouncing bench. There is a big rock wall nearby but there are no swings.

Alligator's Creek Aquatic Center, O'Fallon MO

Location: 403 Civic Park Drive, O'Fallon, MO 63366

This is a pubic pool that was renovated in 2018. They have a one-meter spring diving board in the deep pool, a lazy river with a vortex that's connected to the children's shallow pool, a small splash pad, and kids who are at least 48 inches tall can enjoy three different water slides.

The splash pad is small and enclosed by a fence. 

Renovations expanded the aquatic center to twice its original size. Among the new features are a comfortable modern bathhouse, a new concession stand, a longer lazy river with a zero-depth beach entrance, an exciting new splash pad for kids of all abilities, a floating bridge and a new pool with a fun waterway that connects a larger pool with a newly-installed interactive water playground.

Some places call this a lily pad walk, they call it a water bridge. It's a fun challenge for kids.

This slide is short and fast!

The vortex is always a hit with kids. I guess they like going around in circles lol.

The lazy river is long and not very deep. My 9 year old could stand with his head above water but they do require an inner tube. 

They have 2 basketball hoops near the water bridge.
