"I walked in this park after work today. It's always nice and quiet. On one side it has a tennis court, playground and swing set. On the other side it has the Tower and a nice pond. There's several benches to rest on. There's a nice paced walkway that goes throughout the entire park. There's a dog park located near the playground, but the sign said you have to have some type of membership. You may have to be a home owner in the surrounding neighborhood, but I'd suggest to contact the City of St. Louis to inquire. You can still walk your dogs here and there's doggie stations set up with supplies just in case your doggie takes a poop. This is a family friendly park for all to enjoy. The Tower is actually a museum that's open certain weekends throughout the summer. It's no more than $5 for entry and I've been once. It's very nice, but hot inside the Tower. It takes maybe 15 minutes to get to the top, but once you do, there's a beautiful view of the City. So have your cameras ready."

"Quiet and smallish but lovely park with nice walkways, lots of benches, and multiple stone stairs. We spent part of the day sledding down the central Hill and it was perfect."

"Absolutely LOVED this park. The walking paths are lovely, it is well kept and tended. There were Park rangers in duty while I was there. A nice relaxing atmosphere to get some exercise, have a picnic, read a book etc."

"This is a nice little park in the middle of town. There are paved walking paths, and stairs to climb and get exercise, and views of the city. The little pond near the water tower is pretty, and is filled with water lilies. There is a small playground and a dog park too."

"There's some nice little walking trails, a historical marker about German immigrants to the St. Louis area, and some beautiful trees & a water feature. I walked my dog around for awhile & took pictures of the beautiful fall colors."
