River Des Peres Park — Attraction in St. Louis

This is a long, narrow strip of land which runs along River Des Peres, and includes a couple of playgrounds, a nice trails for walking, jogging and biking, and a baseball field and soccer field (we never did see the soccer field, or the water fountain we read about). The only parking lot we found was at the Fultz baseball field, but we also parked on a side street further up Des Peres Boulevard, so we could explore that part of the park. Established in 1934, this is a scenic park which is part of the River Des Peres Greenway. We really enjoyed...

This is a beautiful little park with a great playground. It has no car access so you will need to park down the street. You can also ride there which is the best way to access the park. For parking, turn into the streets for the residential area and park. Usually no one is ever there due to lack of parking. There are no restrooms but there is a water fountain which stays on most of the year. It is connected to the River Des Peres...

I'm not commenting on the park but this comes with the air quality around the park. The River Des Peres, which is a drainage channel.... Reeks, I drive up and down it every workday. With my windows down, and it smells disgusting, and anything within a city block and the right wind direction stinks too. I dont know how...
