    Benton Park is great! We feed the ducks and the pair of geese as they are the cutest creatures in the area. There are fish too although theyโ€™re abit timid. Lovely park to walk around with your dog and even has a nice a nice bridge. Supposedly there are caves underneath. Iโ€™ve seen a map but havenโ€™t physically looked. Anyway, the old homes surrounding the park and the park itself with the lovely wildlife is a nice retreat from the laptop eyes I have.

    What a pleasant surprise! This park came out of nowhere and was just adorable. Very cool to have something like this in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

    This park has my kids' (4&9) favorite playground. They also love to watch the ducks and geese that gather at the pond, as well as rolling down a shallow hill next to the playground.

    This is always been a nice park to go to on the hill. When my older brother and I were kids we used to have sporting events on our local St Louis athletic club team and we would play soccer or baseball or whatever sport was going on for that time of year. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because it's kind of tiny. If it was just a tad bigger maybe double in size, then it would be the perfect place for any southsider that resides anywhere close to the hill

    Super nice park with new pickle ball courts and finally added a marshy habitat for the ducks there.

    It's a nice midsized park with wide pathways for joggers and bicyclists. In addition there are tennis courts available on a first come first serve basis. Unfortunately they do NOT have any restrooms open to the public unless there's a specific event like the neighborhood bicycle race or someone rents portapotties on their own. There's steetside parking only on all four sides. No pavilions available... Just an occasional bench along the pathways to sit and rest. The water fountain stays on all summer long which is good for cooling off and fun for the kids.

    Lovely historic park with a pond, ducks and geese. Nice place to ring lunch. Watch out as some of the geese do get crabby.

    One of the most serene parks in Saint Louis. Beautiful place to take the kids for a family picnic.

    This is such a beautiful, peaceful, and happy park with trails and two ponds, plus plenty of wildlife! So cool!! They have enough to keep the family busy and smiling all the way here's tennis courts, walking/bicycling trails, a playground for the kids. The entire park is very scenic with it's rolling hills and wildlife to keep you entertained for hours.

    Been taking my granddaughter here since she could walk. She's 15 now and we take her brother. She got a good laugh out of being able to reach things now.
