The park is also close to the trailheads for the Al Foster and Hamilton-Carr Trails. โ € The park features a fun playground with unique climbers, swings, and a rock wall. This play area is better suited for those 4 and up, but littles can still find some places to explore. โ € The park also features picnic areas and restrooms. Abundant trees provide plenty of shade, however the play area is in full sun. #stlmoms #glencoecitypark #wildwoodmo #wildwoodmissouri #stlkids #midwestnomadfamily #visitmo #thatsmymo #kidstoparks #runwildmychild #1000hoursoutside #outdoorkids #stlouisforkids #stlouismom #314parent #314mom #stlplaygrounds
