O'Fallon Park — Attraction in St. Louis

I was actually here a couple of weeks ago for my cousin's 40th birthday. She had some food for a nice picnic and several relatives and music to enjoy. If I had been thinking at the time, I would have taken some photos of the area with the idea of posting them with this review. However, being there was not the most enjoyable experience for me. As a general rule of thumb, this park is located in a depressed area of St. Louis. It's not really an area that I personally frequent. It's the reason why I'm only giving it three stars.

It's simply because there needs to be a lot of work and development put into the park. Do I think it has great potential??? Yes! It absolutely does. However, that would require some developers putting money into the area. A lot of the grass is burned and dying out. There needs to be a lot done with the Landscaping, as well. The trash cans need to be cleaned, the bathrooms need to be remodeled, and the jungle gyms for the children need to be torn down and rebuilt. I think that this park could be rated as one of the top parks in St. Louis considering its massive size.

However, as I previously mentioned, until some developers put money into the area, there's no way it will be a place for the masses. It's simply the reason why the majority of the people who go to this park are locals in that area.

I hope that this review doesn't come off as a bit snobbish because I don't mean it to sound that way. It's just that for my own personal taste, this is not the place for me. I'll also leave you with this: I greatly appreciate the fact that there are lots of picnic areas that can be numbered for individual use. As I understand it, the individuals who run this particular operation do not charge for utilizing the space. That's one plus if I had...

I am glad they have this for the community.... Be careful when organizing a party here though. Get EVERYTHING in writing. Their employees are severely misinformed and a very intimate occasion can be ruined. I attended a milestone Bday party for a 2 year old (imagine how many babies were there), the person told them that the splash portion of the pool would be open for the babies so they paid and booked the party only to arrive and the splash pool was inoperable. What is there for babies to do at a pool when their portion is shut off? Only the older kids could really enjoy the pool. Sad and unprofessional of them not to inform the party goers as soon as possible. Not only that, the party room trash was full, there were balloons from a previous party still there, and dirty dishes in the sink. I will not be throwing a party here unless big changes occur. It is sad for people in the community with no other alternative. They...
