It's the centerpiece of a wonderful park where you can walk, take pictures, and simply admire the pond and other features such as The Naked Truth sculpture. There are only a handful of these types of water towers left in the country, and St. Louis has three with the Grand Avenue and Bissell Street towers located in the north part of the city."
