This was Missouri’s first neighborhood improvement district park that was the result of more than 900 homeowners working together with the developer of the subdivision, the city, and Park Board. George Ward, the developer, donated the 20-acre property. The park was then built by the Park Board using a unique financing method. Located east of M-291 off Mulberry St, this 26.7 acre neighborhood park includes a large playground, 10-acre native habitat area, open field area, a small parking area and .7 mile asphalt trail.
