Old Pond School Park in Wildwood has a school house dating to 1914 on the property. It has been renovated - the building is locked but peeking inside the windows, it look very nice inside. The playground behind the old school building contains new equipment, but in the style of an old fashioned playground. There are 2 sling swings, a free-standing slide, a merry-go-ground and 2 wooden see-saws. The playground has benches alongside HUGE trees. There is also a picnic shelter. Restrooms are port-a-toilets, but that's better than nothing. There is no sign for the park, so you have to look carefully to see the driveway into the parks parking lot.

New Town Chapel Playground, St. Charles

Location: 3420 Civic Circle, St. Charles, MO 63301

Website: https://www.newtownstcharles.com/

This is the cutest playground! It's enclosed with a fence and gate and is rather small, and would be perfect for toddlers.  There is one wooden painted play structure featuring a rope climber, a rock wall, 2 slides, a rope bridge, and a free standing little house. It's in the New Town community next to the chapel.

There is no bathroom here but the church is next door and there are lots of businesses on this street in New Town. I have no idea what the actual name of this playground is, because the New Town website doesn't say and I can't find info on line about it. All in all it's a very cute playground!
