Playground Ground Cover: Poured rubber and wood chips

This is a standard neighborhood playground. It has 4 sling swings and 2 baby swings.  The play equipment looks fairly new.

Apparently the bathrooms are bad news so I didn't go in there. You can google it if you want more info on that!

Very unrealistic looking boulder

There are a couple slides, a rock wall, some other climbers, a bridge, and some bars and poles.

Samuel Kennedy Park, St. Louis City

Location: 4700 Washington Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63108

Website: https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/parks/parks/browse-parks/view-park.cfm?parkID=106

Playground Ground Cover: Poured rubber and astroturf

This playground is SO CUTE. And it's completely enclosed with a gate. It's perfect for toddlers! It's small and the plantings are beautiful, you feel like you're in a beautiful garden. The ONLY thing I hate is that there is no bathroom! There are some businesses nearby that would hopefully let you use their facilities but I can't guarantee anything.

There is this curved metal climbing wall on astroturf right in the middle of the park.

 The play structure has stepping stones, some slides, a little tunnel, and various bars and poles.

 Old splashpad

If you look at the park's website they have old photos that show that used to be functional, and it's such a shame that it's not anymore!!!

Playground Ground Cover: poured rubber

This park is amazing. It's new and quiet and pretty and has everything, even a creek. It was redone in Dec 2017 and includes 2 play structures, musical equipment, modified merry go round, boulders and logs to climb, and a large spiderweb climber.

 The large play structure is 3 stories tall so probably not the best for toddlers.

 There is a baby swing, an adaptive swing, and 4 sling swings

The small play structure has drums, a steering wheel, tic tac toe board, and a slide

Restroom building and pavilion near by

 The creek is down that path

 modified merry go round and log to balance on

This playground was not busy when we visited and the neighborhood is quiet and cute. This is definitely a great park to play in!

Playground Ground Cover: rubber mats and wood chips

Amenities: Playgrounds, trails, basketball, horseshoe pits, volleyball, hopscotch, reservable Shelter, and splashpad

This splashpad is small but it's new and nice! There are about 6 jets that shoot up of varying height. The button to turn it on is right next to it in the restroom building.

 There is one baby swing and 5 sling swings

The playstructure is large and features a rock wall, slides, bridge, pretend window, and lots of bars and poles.

I assume this is the older playground. It has a slide and various bars and poles,

 There is a walking trail here with workout equipment along the way.
