Des Peres Park

"Des Peres Park is really a nice, quiet spot to walk or let your kids get their energy out on the playground! The bridge next to the small lake is a great spot for photography too. Highly recommend spending a portion of your day here if you get the chance! Photos by: @joshandlindseyphoto"

"This park has it all. Beautiful lake with fountains. Many picnic areas and covered pavilions for rent. Picnic areas have drinking water and bbq setups. Two playgrounds with many trees around, creating natural shade. Good hiking trails. Plenty of parking."

"Des Peres Park is a great place for kids to play. It features two playgrounds for different ages as well as picnic benches for families to eat. There are walking paths that go through the park and around the lake. The park is clean and isn't too crowded. The bridges allow you to observe fish and fowl on the lake. The scenery is gorgeous."
