The Dardenne Greenway Trail is a pleasant paved route in the St. Peters area. The pathway is very flat and there are a few benches along the way to rest at. I walked the route towards mid-day so there was not a lot of shade. I would suggest doing it earlier or later...
Rotary Park has a nice pond for fishing and is famed for its annual Renaissance Festival, but there is not a whole lot more here.
Kraut Run Lake is really not anything special but it is the largest lake in the Busch Wildlife area. It is essentially a fishing lake and there are rental boats with oars which one rarely sees out on the lake. Most people just fish from the shore. Since the park is open until late...
This McDonald's is not very large but it does have an indoor play area for kids which is currently closed. The lobby area was not very large and I'm not a fan of its dark wood interior with dividers. But the people working there appeared courteous, it appears that the lobby is open throughout the week, and there is...
Stealey Way Trail is a fairly short (I believe about 2.5 miles) trail but it has a variety of views ranging from forest to prairie to a walk along Peruque Creek which feeds into Lake Saint Louis. This is not the inner, blacktop trail but instead is the outer natural path circling about 3/4s of the borders of the park....
I guess this must be a trend: this is the second renovated McDonald's that I have come across in the past month without a drink bar. I don't like it! Perhaps I can stand in line to get a refill but I'm not going to wait for several other people to order to top...
I really didn't want to give this location a negative rating but I'd call this location "far from being a park" in my mind. It's nice that kids from the nearby Heritage Primary School were involved in its creation. But this "park" is little more than a drainage ditch with a tree trunk to sit on and a rock...
This is a small memorial park on Pierce Avenue in Wentzville. There is not a lot here but it has a plaque explaining its connection back to skirmishes in the area during the Civil War. There is also a memorial of names from more recent battles. There are benches where one can relax.
This dog park is located in the lower level of Quail Ridge Park. It has a nice pavilion to keep owners out of the sun. There are water spigots and a nearby pit-toilet (but clean) restroom. There is plenty of parking below the park and a few handicap accessible spots on one side. The...
This memorial is small. It is located streetside at Fireman's Park in Wentzville. I wish I could give it a better review but the memorial is very tiny. But it is significant in that it is the first Vietnam War Memorial in the USA dating back to 1967 when it was commemorated.
Unlike a lot of parks with manufactured play equipment, Towne Park mostly has a large natural play area for the kids to experience. Yes, there is some manufactured equipment but a separated play area concentrates on natural things to play with. This is a somewhat unique experience for the area. Also, there is a pond...
This is a great, modern four-plex baseball park with a centralized concession stand area which is easily accessible from all four baseball diamonds. It is located just west of Wentzville in the countryside. Plenty of parking. There is a pond near the entrance where I saw people walking their dogs. I'm not sure if...
