I nominate Blackburn Park in Webster Groves as well. A fun, clean, friendly park.

I love Shaw park, and as a mom of 2 boys, I appreciate that the playground is fenced. I too love Blackburn, and of course Tilles, although the playground is so big I have trouble keeping track of both!

Me too, Drea! Shaw Park is so spacious, lots of fun playground equipment and, as you said, good fencing for the kids. Walking trails are good for burning off energy, too.

Just asked the experts,my 7 and 8 years olds. One said Tilles the other said Rocket ship Park (Deer Creek). I would agree that they are two of my favorites in the area. I like them both for their different qualities.
