    I could have stayed in this park all day, it was inviting and enchanted. Every path felt like an adventure deeper into the unknown. The fountains and fixtures plus the wildlife made it more enjoyable. If animals are cozy here you know it's well tended. There were a significant amount of staff that were tending gardens and mowing. This location was very well kept for everyone to enjoy.

    Went here for a walk for a break from the long drive home and was pleased with how nice the walking paths were and the available parking. There were a good amount of people out despite the cold weather and it seemed to be near a college based on most of their ages. There are several old buildings in the park but I didn't have the time to stop by many of them or know what they were. Would definitely walk there again if in the area.

    A wonderful park! Always love coming here, no matter the weather. It's fantastic for walking and biking, and a good portion of the paths are paved and wheelchair accessible. There are so many cool hidden spots- like the natural playground and the butterfly garden.

    Mid winter, spring is beautiful. Pavilion's can be reserved and wedding's take place by the fountain at the Piper Palm House. Great place to have wedding, and family photos. 2 separate playgrounds a small one near Grand Blvd. Larger playgrounds by the tennis courts in the center of the park. The larger playground has a shallow (like a foot or 2 deep) water pond for the kids in the summer. Friday's are food truck days, and sometimes a farmer's market. Plenty of trails for biking or walking.

    It is Spring Break, so I took the kids to Tower Grove Park and they absolutely had an amazing time! All of the playground equipment is up to date and functioning properly. They kids loved our time there. Video Review available on my Facebook Reels. #welcome2thenashhouse

    Beautiful park, public restrooms were clean, lots of people using the park all beautiful, several places to take in the beauty and reflect. Several types of trees and plants. We took pictures and used our phone to identify. Great variety. Go in early April and enjoy the dogwoods (pink and white), magnolias, tulips, daffodils and more. Walk, run, enjoy your pet, enjoy nature, skateboard, ride a bike. Such a beautiful park and lots of history in the gazebos, ponds, and more. One very old grave from the 1800s. Not sure I could find it back but it reminded you that at one time the park was an open prairie where pioneers tried to build a life and sometimes lost it.

    Hands down the place to be on Saturday mornings...where what has be the regions largest Farmer's Markets held just about every week of the year! It's THE place to get best local products made by artisan and vendors and The finest produce gown and sold by real family farms! Not to mention how awesome the park itself is! With so many historically significant pavilions and buildings, and being right next to the botanical garden (originally part of Henry Shaw's property) there are a wide diversity of ornamental and native trees/shrubs, as well as wide open spaces to enjoy a little bit of nature near the heart of St. Louis.

    The Farmers Market at Tower Grove Park has numerous food vendors, farmers, and artisans. A wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning. Note: check the website (mid November is the end of the season).

    Festival of nations was great! I was in awe of the many countries and many food options. The set up was well put together and it was just beautiful to see.

    Tower Grove Park is a wonderful place to go for a walk, toss or kick a ball around, hear some music, visit the popup farmers market, food trucks are there periodically and when they're not, there are eateries in walking distance on Grand Boulevard.

    Warning don't hammock!!! there is a park ordinance here against hammocking. This is the only negative about this park. It's due to use volume at the park and for the trees health, still setting up a hammock is my favorite park activity, too bad. They politely enforce it so just come to walk or picnic on a blanket. This is a very beautifully laid out park the red buds and other blooming trees are nice to see here in spring. They also have a good amount of cedar trees which isn't common to other parks. Missed it but they have a sizable farmers market here.

    Just such a fantastic park! I am lucky enough to live right across the street and do morning walks where are you encounter lots of friendly joggers on the weekends they have the farmers market which is absolutely amazing. Live music WONDERFUL playgrounds that are well maintained AND a splash pad for summer!

    One of the best parks. A perfect place to be with friends, go running/walking, park events, etc. I like calling it my happy place because it always makes me feel so much better after leaving.

    Beautiful place to visit. Calm and peaceful. I go here to fly my drone. Recommended.

  • 4/5 Oliver P. 6 months ago on Google
    It's a nice quaint efficient use of park space. Lots of trees, sitting areas, not too far from restaurants. The neighborhood seems nice as well. They recently added some basketball courts which is nice for St. Louis. You would think the city doesn't like basketball. The only downside to this park is a lack of water fountains. You should bring your water. Also the park lacks bathrooms. Parks should have water fountains and bathrooms. I removed a star for these 2. Otherwise a good park. People are nice, it's safe and clean. Even with all of the dog walking and parties the park is kept well. Cheers. Oh yes, they have playgrounds but I don't do playgrounds.

    If your'e looking for a great spot to take wedding, engagement or family photos, Tower Grove Park is a great spot! During the fall, the trees have a magnificent color. The pavilions look brilliant with the right composition and there are a of little spots that get overlooked. Grab your camera and check it out! Photos by: @joshandlindseyphoto

    I moved into the area last yr, but haven't been here in yrs. Only really meandered around the SE corner that day, but the gazebos that I saw were still beautiful. Very peaceful

  • 5/5 Lynet H. 8 months ago on Google
    This park is absolutely amazing! It's such a lovely spot to take a leisurely stroll and soak in the breathtaking views. It's so peaceful and quiet, perfect for some relaxation time. There's plenty of parking available, and you can park at various spots within the park. You'll find lots of pavilions and seating areas, along with a few cool attractions to explore. It's truly a stunning park, and the gazebos, ponds, and other features are rich with history.

    Love this park! I love how they make almost everything available for free for their citizens Other cities should have those things available for their taxpayers as well

  • 5/5 Gabrielle T. 2 months ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    I love this park and love living nearby. The trail around the park is great to run/walk and it’s typically clean unless there was just a big event like the Festival of Nations. Plenty of green space and you can reserve the different pavilions and use the grills. The landscaping is always beautiful, you can tell the community tries hard to preserve its beauty and functionality.

  • 5/5 Ellie B. 9 months ago on Google
    Everyone loves the park right? Tower Grove has something for everyone. Playground on one end, water fountain, tennis courts, long winding shady trails, there's even a food truck on certain days. (Fridays typically) This is a large park that is pet friendly. I've watched someone walk a pony. Yes...a PONY. There's also park security. Port a potties are also a feature that have sinks. SINKS. Easily one of the best parks in st louis

    Beautiful park and the Piper Palm House is also nice for weddings and events. Great place for pictures.

  • 5/5 Alexander B. 10 months ago on Google
    This is my favorite park in St. Louis. Many lovely paths shaded by tall trees that allow for a wide field of view. A dozen or so colorful gazebos and bronze statues add to the visual experience. Wrought iron benches provide rest stops. There are a couple of playgrounds for the kids one with an in-ground, upward spraying fountain which is a summer delight for the youngsters. In the center is a pond surrounded by a lovely garden.

  • 5/5 Lee J. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing park with multiple playgrounds for different age groups, great bike paths, and best of all, the farmer's market! The farmer's market has great produce, crafts, cocktails, and popsicles by the playground. Check out the food truck Fridays too!

  • 5/5 Lauren T. 11 months ago on Google
    Went here to go birding. The park itself is huge and very well maintained with lots of shelters, sitting areas, small ponds and trees. The day we went they were having a festival/farmers market so it was very busy but traffic was well regulated. There is a trail specifically dedicated to birds with a sitting area in front of a small man made pond/birdbath and water fountain that was attracting several different species of birds right in front of us. I would have sat there for hours if I had the time. Will definitely be back!

    It has a lot of nature in the spring and beautiful structures with beautiful birds and a clean and safe environment. When I go there, I really feel a sense of comfort and different nationalities are seen.

  • 5/5 Kimi W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place to walk, relax and play. It's kept up very nicely. I love to take pictures of their landscaping and flowers.

  • 4/5 Alice C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the most beautiful city parks I've had the pleasure of wandering. The gardens are immaculate. I look forward to walking here every time we visit St. Louis.

  • 5/5 Kendra Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning park! Great layout, parking was plentiful, the farmers market was legit amazing!

  • 5/5 Mark D. 2 years ago on Google
    Big fan of this park. When it’s in season, we go to the market a few times a month and it’s the best in the area. It’s the best right in the middle of the summer; they’ll have the fountains on and the kids can splash around a bit and take a break from the heat. It’s an easily walkable park with no steep inclines to speak of. The pond full of water lilies looks beautiful when they’re in bloom all summer long.

  • 5/5 R C. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful park and a real asset to this city. Lush tree-lined trails, a fountain, stone "ruins" (man-made but aesthetic), horses (!), a thriving farmer's market, yoga classes, quirky pavilions... And while I've lived here two years and gone probably twenty times, I just know I'm leaving things out and still have more to discover.

    This is the place to be when the sun is setting. Great views better vibes and more water than my soul needs to heal. This walk is a must for all fur baby owners in the city

  • 4/5 Stephanie M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a beautiful 😍 Park. I pretty much walked the entire park taking me about an entire hour and a half. There is plenty of parking so no need to worry. I imagine this a place where alot of family reunions are thrown or just any get together with friends and family.
