About

Francis Park was named after David Rowland Francis, the President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1889, former mayor of St. Louis (1885-1889) and Missouri Governor (1889-1893). In 1916, he donated 60 acres to the city for Francis Park.

Francis Park is one of 2 parks serving the beautiful St. Louis Hills neighborhood, along with Willmore Park.
