A few weeks back I saw a post about a new playground installed near Creve Couer Lake and couldn't wait to take the boys to play here. The last little splash pad and playground we found near Creve Coeur Park was such a gem I thought this one would be, too!
Finding this area is not hard if you've been to the Greensfelder Memorial Shelter before. Before you go down the big hill to the lake, there's a little entrance with a sign that says, 'Greensfelder Memorial Shelter'. Once you're up that road, you'll wind through the area to a parking area in front of the playground. There's a bathroom, grassy area with trails, and of course the Greensfelder Memorial Shelter that over looks the Creve Couer Lake.
This playground is brand new, being installed in summer 2023! The playground is on the smaller side, but has plenty of things to play on for children of all ages.
There's smaller play area with two small slides, a balance beam and a couple of climbing items.
On the other side was a two sided board with a connect four and tic tac toe game. There also a sphere spinner!
Then, there's a climbing net course that leads to a slide and even more levels to climb up. Anther spinner is attached to the climbing course.
Finally, there's a set of swings at the end with two regular swings and then two overhead harnesses.
This was the perfect playground for us to bring a picnic to eat overlooking the Creve Couer Lake and then play until the sunset.
