Kennedy's Playground, St. Peters




 

Location: 115 McMenamy Rd., St. Peters, MO 63376

Website: https://unlimitedplay.org/playground/professional-fire-fighters-of-eastern-missouri-playground/

Playground Ground Cover: Rubber mats


This playground is a little hidden. It's on the site of the Professional Fire Fighters of Eastern Missouri property, behind a fence. It's the latest from the amazing Unlimited Play company that builds inclusive playgrounds. It's all fireman-themed and opened in late 2021. 



There's a bronze statue of a firefighter and a ton of beach volleyball courts. When I pulled in I didn't see the playground so I was totally confused, but fear not! If you park down by where this white car is you'll be close to it. 


Walk through these gates and it's straight ahead.


You'll pass a little hut and a bunch of picnic tables.



And you have arrived. There are 2 adaptive swings, 1 sling swing, and 1 baby swing.



Musical instrument area


Rocking Teeter-totter with a double seat


Seated zip line





The 2 story play structure has ramps, a rock wall, a tunnel, lots of maze boards, a rolley slide, several other slides, a chain climber, and bars and poles. 





Modified merry-go-round












Cool fire truck to play in






Not sure about the hours of this hut but it's cute and serves alcohol!
