3 Parks for kids 6-12 Years

-

 Do you have an older kiddo that gets bored at typical playgrounds? Don't worry, I got you. Check out these 3 parks that are great for big kids!


1. The Heights-

The Heights is located in Richmond Heights behind the recreation center. It is a fenced in playground with multiple playground structures for children of varying ages. I chose this one as one for older kids because it has a 3 story structure with large slides. Another aspect of this park that I love is the nature playscape in the back. It allows for kids to explore nature in a safe environment.

2. Indian Camp Creek-

Indian Camp Creek recently added a new incredible playground to the park. It offers multiple structures of varying sizes for kids of all ages. I included this one in this blog post because, it too, offers a 3 story climbing structure. This park is located in Foristell, MO. Even though its a ways away from St. Louis, it's worth the trip!

2 Fenced In Kirkwood Parks

 Over my 12 years as a mom, I've been to a lot of parks. Once you spend so much time at different places, you begin to realize what works for you and what doesn't. One thing I looked for in a park when my kids were younger was a fence. Fenced in parks hold all the power for letting your little one run and play to their heart's desire. Here is a list of 2 parks that are fenced in: 1. Fillmore Park (Kirkwood) Fillmore is an excellent park for littles. It's small and fenced in with turf flooring. The equipment is not too big for toddlers and it has good shade in the summer. Enjoy a picnic at the picnic tables under the pavilion or take a little stroll around the paved path.

Its charming aesthetic with the shade of large oak trees is the perfect place for a hot summer day. The playground is small and manageable and there is a wall all the way aroun...

 Toddlers are unpredictable and keep us on our toes. I know how anxious parents might be going on a trip to the park with little escape artists. On this list, I'm going to share a few of my favorite parks that give my toddler moms some peace of mind! 1. Logan's Community Playground (South County) Logan's Community Playground is small and fully fenced in. The ground is turf and soft for little ones in the event of a fall.The equipment is age appropriate for toddlers and young children. I like the bright color scheme and the fact that this park is not so intimidating because it is on the smaller side. 2. Fillmore Park (Kirkwood) Fillmore Park is a great place to bring your toddlers. Similar to Logan's, the playground area is pretty manageable in size and there is a fence all the way around. The grounding is turf and again makes a good environment for toddlers learning to walk. There is also a short walking path around the vicinity of the park. 3. DeMun Park (Clayton) This...

 Hi friends! I'm so happy you're here. If you've made it to this page that probably means you're a local from St. Louis or a surrounding area. Let me start with a brief introduction then I will describe the content I intend to share here on this blog. My name is Michelle Mueller. I am married to my high school sweetheart and together we have 3 kids. We live in the city of St. Louis and have loved every second of it. Aside from being a wife and mom, I also teach preschool part time. I absolutely love teaching and am grateful to have that aspect in my life. I started an instagram page in 2022 called "Play STL". I currently run that page alone and have built a following of geniune, fun and incredible parents/nannies/grandparents from all over the area. I've made so many friends through this platform and it ultimately became the reason I decided to start this blog. I want to have a more organized space to share my content with you all. I intend for my content ...
