St. Ferdinand Park
Let’s explore St. Ferdinand Park in Florissant! This large park is worth adding to your list of explorations!
We love hot air balloon-themed playground appropriate for various ages and stages, lots of spots for a picnic, a long walking path, and a beautiful lake to stroll beside.
Don’t forget to visit some other historic Florissant gems before you head home, including Made by Lia, Hendel’s Cafe, and Old Town Donuts!
A visit to the historic St. Ferdinand Shrine would be well worth your time, too!
Angie's Playground in Manion Park
This all-inclusive playground nestled in North County is an absolute treasure! Beautifully designed with bright and lively colors, this playground is created for children of all abilities. There are various play structures available, including slides, stepping stones, various swings, and a play structure designed for children under 5. The poured rubber is forgiving for those inevitable park tumbles! There are a few different shaded benches, in addition to some covered picnic tables and of course a pavilion. The pavilion, restrooms and parking lot are all within close distance of the playground (though the bathrooms are closed for the season) Add this gem to your list! It’s worth it!
January Wabash Park
This park in Ferguson is a relaxing picnic spot. Covered pavilions lend shade, or you can hike or bike on one of the multiuse trails. Kids enjoy the newly renovated playground, or fishing in the 5.5 acre lake. This park is conveniently located next to the Splash at Wabash Aquatic Complex.
Sunset Park
There’s a paved trail that takes you to the shore of the Missouri River!
