Tower Grove Park

I love this park! It has beautiful open green spaces, fields, ponds, paths to walk and benches dotted throughout. The biggest plus of this park is the many events they have throughout the week like live music and farmers markets. Centrally located and relatively safe, I think this is a great option for a picnic or a park hang out. Highly recommended!

Tower Grove Park is a beautiful and well-maintained historic park, ideal for walking, relaxing, and spending time with family. The landscaping is impressive, with wide green spaces, mature trees, and elegant Victorian pavilions. It feels calm and welcoming, and it is also a popular spot for local events, farmers markets, and casual gatherings. Pros: very clean and spacious, great for walking and picnics, family-friendly, visually attractive in all seasons. Cons: limited dedicated parking inside the park during busy times, and some areas can get crowded on weekends or during events.

Wonderful park to take the family. They host different events through the year and even on the weekend. Beautiful atmosphere to enjoy the sun, breeze and family/pets.

Great park in St. Louis. Great place to have a picnic or walk your dog spend time with friends. It’s not a giant park but there’s a lot of things to do highly recommend paying it a visit.

Beautiful park! Full of trees and quiet spots along the way! We had a great time attending a wedding in the park.

I could have stayed in this park all day, it was inviting and enchanted. Every path felt like an adventure deeper into the unknown. The fountains and fixtures plus the wildlife made it more enjoyable. If animals are cozy here you know it's well tended. There were a significant amount of staff that were tending gardens and mowing. This location was very well kept for everyone to enjoy.

Always enjoy the annual Pagan Fest here... such a great park and not a crowded as Forest Park. 😉 Will be adopting my foster dog today who is pictured.

Best St. Louis park ever! Ive always been drawn to this park. I did some digging and no wonder! Tower Grove park was specifically designed to encourage peace and community as well as many other feelings. Everything from the walkway design, location and plant selection was built to create and help foster peace and community. Theres a lot about this park in find special. Definitely worth checking out!

Eye-opening scenery! Eye-opening events! Eye-opening neatness! Just marvelous. I go here for Festival of Nations and even without, It's still a great place to take a stroll or sit and take a bite to eat. The area is also mighty big, there is a huge range to walk from! I also like the benches set out, the huge gazebo, and the pathways are so furnishing. It's too bad I live far away, this place is a spectacular gem to me!

Such a beautiful park. There are walking trails around the park. There are plenty of pretty flowers to take pictures of and there are kids playgrounds for kids to play. Our dog Chloe love the fountain. There are also events here. Farmer markets are usually here on certain Saturday mornings. Last week they had festival of nations which was nice.

Park is my favorite park in St. Louis. It's a very active park. They have a farmers market, sip and strolls, events at the Piper Palm House all the time. There's a lot going on at Tower Grove Park. It's an excellent walking park. And it's excellent for family events. It has several rentable pavilions.

Always beautiful with activities galore. St. Louis has some of the best parks in the country and this is my zen place choice of them!

Attended the Festival of Nations and I enjoyed the chicken masala from Afghanistan and a tamale from Belize. The tamale was unlike no other that I've had because it contained a big chicken bone in the tamale.

This is a lovely park. This was my second time visiting and our focus Thays round was on the Saturday morning farmers market which is so lively and bustling. The market featured a diverse array of food and artisan vendors all conveniently located by a small playscape, the indoor bathrooms and fountain. I was impressed by both the amount of shade found in this park and the cleanliness of their indoor bathroom facilities. It really makes it an ideal spot for event planners. We look forward to future visits here.

Beautiful park! Huge, with ample street parking...at least there was on a weekday. The grounds were lovely, beautiful trees and flowers abound. Great place to take a stroll or laze in the shade.

Not much going on today with on and off rain but I stopped by and had an explore of this fabulous park. The land was donated in 1868 by Henry Shaw who made his fortune here in Saint Louis selling supplies to pioneers. The park is 289 acres and extends more than a mile and a half from end to end. There are a number of pavilions and I only spotted a couple of them today during my exploration. The park also has tennis courts, softball fields, soccer paths and I enjoyed some of the paths that are suitable for walking and cycling. There is parking throughout as the roadways are quite wide. In addition to being home to nearly 400 species of flora, it is a bird-watching area as it is part of the Mississippi Flyway used by many different migrating birds. There are a number statues and monuments throughout the park including Shakespeare. The Columbus statue was removed after some controversy in 2020. [Review 17259 overall - 161 in Missouri - 777 of 2022.]

It is one of my favorite parks in Saint Louis, with plenty of space to walk, run, picnic, and hang out. I found a space to let my dog run, play fetch, and catch without disturbing other parkgoers. I recommend checking out this park if you're visiting STL. Plenty of shops and restaurants are within walking distance from this park as well.

I feel very lucky to live so close to such a beautiful park! Every season has its perks but for beauty alone, fall and spring are my favorites - you can really get lost in the lovely spring flowers or gorgeous fall colors. The ponds by the ruins are also a neat place to people watch or feed the ducks and on the weekends, loads of people filter in to take wedding or prom pictures..it can be amusing. In the summer it's fun to picnic, rent a pavilion or catch one of the iconic fests such as The Festival of Nations, TG Pride, The Pagan Festival and so much more. The Farmers Market has also grown so much and it's a nice way to spend a Saturday morning - shopping, having a bite or a cocktail and listening to live music. Close to Christmas, The Piper Palm House which hosts a wonderful brunch year round, transforms into Frosted, a holiday pop up bar and it's soo adorable! I almost forgot to mention the horses and carriage rides though the park! They only have 2 horses and truly take good care of them. This is the only place I would ever consider taking a carriage ride because I know the horses are well cared for and live a happy life at the park. There's a little something for everyone at TGP!

What a place to play your guitar late at night .. just me and the moon and the late night animals

Food Truck Friday? Farmer's Market? Festival of Nations? Yes, please! Even when there are no events going on, this is a nice place for a relaxing walk when the world is trying to aggravate you. It's also a great place for a picnic lunch. If the pavilions are all occupied, just grab a bench or even a patch of grass.

How fortunate to have stayed only 2 blocks from this fantastic outdoor space during our vacation to St. Louis! The 1.6 mile linear park is a National Historic Landmark with large open green spaces in the center for activities (soccer, softball, etc) that is flanked by numerous monuments, statues, gazebos, pavilions, benches, and more. There are over 400 species of flowers, shrubs, and trees within the park. This is a perfect place to picnic (we took advantage!), cycle, jog, dog-walk, or simply sit with a good book and cup of joe and relax! I understand that it is host to many outdoor concerts, events, and weddings. Of course there tennis courts, playgrounds for the small ones, and even a wading pool and horse stable! There are food trucks on Fridays and a farmers market on Saturday morning. The park is dog-friendly (leashed of course). This park is an absolute jewel and the locals are fortunate for its presence!

I came here specifically to walk and enjoy the fall foliage. I loved that they have a 3.4 mile paved trail and it is fairly flat (easier for my dog to walk). The foliage did not disappoint - it was very pretty! There are many openings to get into the park and that makes some of the driving areas one way, but it's still very easy to get around. They were having a big pokemon event while I was there but it seemed well organized and most people were in a specific area looking for the pokemon. It didn't really impact the walking trail at all. Note that I dropped it one star because I didn't see any boards anywhere in this park that showed the trails and/or how to get to the different areas in the park. Because there are many entrances and therefore walking ways for pedestrians to those entrances, parts of the walking trail were difficult to know where to follow.

I had a pleasant drive through this park after picking up some food togos. SUCH A GORGEOUS PARK - it's atmosphere totally brings me back to my summer in England! I imagined a photoshoot, picnic, stroll, run, bike or just take a breather on one of the many benches looking at the array of flowers & colors blended together. I can't believe I missed this gem when I was visiting the botanical garden across the street! I will definitely be bringing my toddler and husband back to enjoy an afternoon strolling/running in the park... or food truck Friday. For history on the park, please read Jason P's review below! So many ideas on what to do in Max's review too.

I love this park! There are many paved trails. We came here for the Saturday farmers market. The market goes from 8-12:30. There were so many stands with unique items and food and drinks. We just wished the farmers market went on longer, there were still so many people trying to shop but the majority of stands started closing up right at 12:30. We stayed after to explore the park and there were so many beautiful plants and flowers. There is also a gazebo with water fountains. There were also tennis courts that were full grass which we have never seen before.

So into this review I dove To rave about this park, and I rove Of the gorgeous wild trees And that one dude who pees In the bushes here at Tower Grove This is the most beautiful park in St Louis - of those I've visited - and one of many reasons why St. Louis is an underrated city with a lot of great things hidden around the city, here and there. It's also a massive city, and this kind of park is exactly what the city needs. Definitely my favourite Park in St Louis, out of all the ones I've been to.

This place is so gorgeous, I may or may not like this place better than Forest Park. Walked around after going to the Farmers Market which was in the park and there were so many amazing things to see here. One of my favorites was the Victoria Lily Pads which are also in the Missouri Botanical Garden too. There were so many small ponds full of different types of lily pads. The park is very walkable. Especially during early October in the crisp of Fall, it feels like you are in the Forest Gump movie with all the highly saturated different types of foliage surrounding you. Highly recommend coming here and will be back to do some yoga or to play badminton in the park!

One of my favorite places in St. Louis! Sip and Stroll + Food Truck Fridays are the best. Even a great place for a stroll. It's gorgeous in the spring and fall!

I absolutely love Tower Grove Park!!!! I pass through this park quite often to get many places. The park is centrally located in South City with plenty of ball fields (whether it's kick ball, softball or baseball) It's the home of Food truck Friday's, The Farmer's Market and Festival of Nations. The park is quite large even though it doesn't quite seem it. They have the most beautifully amazing landscaping as you enter into the park. I love just admiring the beauty of the various plants. Kudos to whoever upkeeps those stunning plants. There are soo many gazebo's to chose from to host your outings and they have a great path for workouts and walks. Inside the park is extremely picturesque. My sorror's and I took our AKAversary pics here. A lot of people take various pics throughout the park. Another highlight I forgot to mention is The Piper Palm House. I see they have opened back a couple times for brunch, but many weddings take place there. The park also host concerts. It's a great place for a picnic, to walk your fur-baby or just hangout. There is play area for the kiddos, tennis courts and a horse stable. A true gem of a park in South City.

This has to be my ask time favorite park in STL. One of my favorite things to do is grab my sketch book and sit under the weeping willow by the small pond. I can sit their for hours drawing and relaxing. Their are also lots of pavilions that you can rent out to throw an outside birthday party. I also like to bring my pup and walk along the many paths that weave thru the park.

I parked in Tower Grove to eat my dinner and enjoy the calming environment. It really is a beautiful, serene, abs charming outdoor space. This experience made my first night in STL so enjoyable. After dinner, I drove around the park and stumbled upon a nice market with some food trucks. Everyone was nice, I purchased some soaps, mushroom jerky, and a delicious hand pie dessert from several different booths. I highly recommend it if you're a visitor to the area. I know Forest Park is well know but don't sleep on Tower Grove. There were people walking, doing yoga, eating, playing tennis, and just sitting having a relaxing time. Parks like this are America's best idea.

Tower Grover is my absolute favorite park in STL. The park is massive and holds so many cool local events that brings so many people out. Massive mature trees dot the park that are breathtaking. The grounds are well maintained and I hardly ever see trash anywhere in the park. During most of the year you can find baseball, soccer, tball, kickball, ect games all over the place. They have organized fitness and yoga all the time. They hold an event called food truck Fridays which I have always loved and looked forward to. Festival of Nations came back this year and it was absolutely beautiful. I've always felt safe anywhere in the park that I have been. They have bathrooms spread out through the park that are always maintained. I just love this park so much and wish I lived closer to it. Just so much to see and do with all the paths/trails. The neighborhood around the park is nice with awesome family owned resturants/bars. I love love love love Tower Grove Park!

Came here to walk around on a weekday afternoon, plenty of street parking. Really pleasant place to walk, and I enjoyed the walk. There's a paved trail and there's also trails more in the grass. Lots of trees, some bodies of water too. Saw some people walking around as well but not too many. Enjoyed the walk, would recommend!

History lesson time... Gosh I love history. Tower Grove Park was established by Henry Shaw on his own private land, this 280-acre linear park was designed and developed by Shaw and donated to the City of St. Louis in 1868. Officially opened to the public in 1872, Tower Grove has been characterized as the largest and best preserved 19th-century Gardenesque style city park in the United States, and is registered as a National Historic Landmark. Shaw believed that parks were important "not only as ornaments to a great city, but as conducive to the health and happiness of its inhabitants and to the advancement of refinement and culture." Shaw, a businessman who sold goods to pioneers, was a native of the United Kingdom, and used his personal experiences as well as extensive travels around Europe to as inspiration for both the Missouri Botanical Gardens and Tower Grove Park. The strongest influence was John Claudius Loudon, whose writings promoted a gardenesque method of planting that featured wide spacing of specimens, which allowed each tree, shrub, and flower to grow to full size and shape without crowding, so that its color and form could be best observed and appreciated. In Loudon's view, this systematic arrangement was the preferred mode of public display because it facilitated an aesthetic response. From Shaw's perspective, perceiving the park and its exotic pavilions as works of art rather than works of nature would also underscore the distinction between the park and the surrounding area. The park incorporates a series of pavilions, a music stand, shelter houses, mock ruins, lily ponds, bridges, fountains, statuary, stables, residences, and two conservatories, including the 1878 Palm House, the oldest standing greenhouse west of the Mississippi. The park also includes a collection of 435 varieties of more than 10,000 trees and woody shrubs. *PHEW* That was a lot. Now onto my personal experiences. To me, Tower Grove Park is leaps and bounds the best park in St. Louis. I love how accessible it is. You can always find parking, the surrounding neighborhoods are lively and offer a topiary of restaurants and shops for picking up food for picnics or grabbing a post-run coffee. So many 5k races that I run start from the Sons of Rest pavilion, so I'm very familiar with the terrain. Tower Grove is great for runners because it offers flat straightaways or rolling hills for an extra challenge. My favorite part of Tower Grove, are the somewhat hidden trails that connect larger thruways. You feel so connected to nature. The park offers so much to our city besides pure beauty. I have played kickball on the fields, hosted social distance picnics in the sprawling lawns, munched on some of the best foods at the Festival of Nations and sipped some of the best beer at food truck fridays. There truly is something for everyone in this city gem. Don't walk through looking down at your phone because you'll miss some of the most breathtaking greenery in St. Louis.

Being that STL has Forest Park, all of the other parks are sort of at a disadvantage, as there really is no comparison. That being said, Tower Grove Park has its charms. Tower Grove is a nice sized park (I won't say large because Forest Park is large (massive); but Tower Grove would be considered large if it wasn't living in FP's shadow.) that runs from Grand to Kingshighway in length. The grounds seem to be nicely kept, but I've never used their restroom facilities so I cannot speak on those. It's a lovely location for festivals, such as my favorite, the Festival of Nations. From spring til autumn you can catch bridal parties posing away to the backdrop of blossoming flowers or beautiful fall foliage. It's also a great place for a leisurely walk or cardio workout, yoga, play dates/ real dates, picnics, teaching your teenager to drive, or Pokemon Go hunting, the later of which is how I typically spend my time here (as of late). There are lots of pokestops and at least a dozen gyms. If you're walking your dog, they have doggy water fountains! I am unsure if they have particular hours like the parks in Arizona. The TG website only says from sunrise to sunset. However, we've come by a few times after sunset and there were lots of cars still there and the park rangers drove by and didn't say anything, so... ? It does get quite dark after sunset though. There aren't any lights aside from the street lamps, so if you're running, catching Pokemon, etc. just be aware and alert (as always). I will say that I have never felt unsafe here, no matter the time. Tower Grove is a beautiful park (especially in autumn) and a lovely part of St. Louis history.

Tower Grove Park, a little oasis in the middle of the city. St Louis has more than its fair share of city parks and other than the big kahuna itself (Forest Park) this is the next best park in the city as far as I've seen. Plenty of room and adequate parking this is a great place. There's some nice ponds as well as walking trails. St Louis has done a great job here.

Among the most impressive things St. Louis has going for it are its beautiful parks! And, yes, Forest Park is the jewel and you absolutely cannot miss it if it's your first visit to STL, but Tower Grove is a beautiful park! I was visiting STL with a friend last weekend, and our airbnb was quite close to Tower Grove. So we went over and enjoyed the scenery for a bit before we went out to dinner. It's a great park for a walk or a bike ride or a run or a picnic or just reading your book by the water and watching the geese. A beautiful park!

Love all the beautiful flowers and interesting pavilions. It's a very beautiful park to walk around and see the nature. The lake and stone ruins are great to take photos at.

I rented the turkish pavilion (for a discounted price) this weekend for my rehearsal dinner. The dinner was supposed to begin around 6:30, and by the time we got there the pavilion was pitch black. It would have been nice of someone had given us the heads up that there are no lights at the pavilions after dark and that we either need to provide our own lighting or find another place to use. Needless to say we could not have our rehearsal dinner there and sadly although we tried to relocate, most of our guest left due to the darkness. When renting pavilions, you really need to mention the lack of lighting, if I had known I would have made other plans :( During the daytime, this park is great though!

Tower Grove Park is like a rare blue jewel. Why I described it as such; IDK. It's great for softball leagues of all ages that often play/practice here, walking the doggies, jogging, picnics, moments of peace by the water, ceremonies and food trucks. I enjoy all the spots off the beaten path where I can take a seat and be one with nature.

One of the best parts about living in the Tower Grove Neighborhood is living right by the park. There's so much to do! In the summers/early fall there's food truck Friday's on the west side of the park during the evenings. Throughout the warm seasons there's the Saturday morning market with a wide variety of goods from local vendors including food, used books, crafts, and much more. There's also free yoga on early Saturday mornings when the weather permits. There are gazebos that can be rented for private events. There's an amazing tennis court that's open to park members. And soooo much more. Throw in a beautiful jogging trail, bike trails, great grilling and outdoor meal options, fields for ultimate frisbee, softball, kickball, etc., a gorgeous fountain, and friendly neighborhood doggos and you get the makings of a great park! Plus its in close proximity to the great dessert shops and restaurants in the Shaw, TGS, and TGE Neighborhoods. Would highly recommend and plan on returning frequently for just about everything I mentioned above.

If this is a business than I'm buying. Year round this park is beautiful. Located in on the heart of small business. En I can't figure out the rules anymore I just walk up here and walk some more. Couldn't ask for a better spot to chill and watch the world

This park was absolutely wonderful. The abundance and variety of trees and open fields areas are a perfect mix. The walking paths are perfectly planned and the mix of adorable bridges and huts are a welcome touch to add to the charm of the park. Very dog friendly. I imagine it's a lovely spot on all seasons as well.

Tower Grove Park has a lot of charm. Yes, obviously it's not Forest Park, but it has a lot going for it. Between the ponds, running / bike paths, the pavilions, and the Piper Palm House, to name a few things, it has a lot to offer. It's also a Pokémon Go nest! Lots of stops and gyms for players. The park is open until 10 pm, which makes it a great spot to go after work to get items, do raids, and catch pokes! It's also a great spot for a picnic date!

Hello, dear friend. We hang almost everyday, but I still miss ya! Tower Grove Park is my favorite park in Saint Louis. I love it so much we bought a house right by it. From watching summer kickball games, sitting on a blanket and reading in the fall, to setting up my best friend's proposal, what's not to love about this gorgeous park? Oh, and Julia R. and I almost got married here. You get the point. Not only have I had some of the fondest memories here, this park is so well kept, adorned with an amazingly diverse array of trees, and TGP is the host of my favorite Saint Louis farmer's market, the Tower Grove Farmer's Market. You can find me playing tennis, biking, on a run, or roller blading all around this beaut. It is central to some amazing STL neighborhoods, such as South Grand, Shaw, TGS, TGE, Fox Park, Southwest Gardens, etc... My favorite time of year to come is in the fall, which is coming up. Grab a football, some friends, and a cooler of beer- this is the spot.

Very nice park. I have bikes in the park before; however today I was here for a run. TGP has some great running trails. Bonus cool places to eat after your workout as well.

Thanks Mr. Shaw for setting aside and creating Tower Grove Park. It's a sprawling, beautiful, shaded, free place to relax and recollect in the midst of a bustling neighborhood. There aren't really a lot of water features in this park - it's more about trails and trees, but there is a beautiful faux ruins lake and fountain at the north end of the park. Like all the rest of this park it's quiet and perfectly suited to recollection.

Best park in Missouri!!! Really!!! Great old trees, food truck Friday, farmers market, tennis, pickle ball, kickball. Great 5 miles of walking trails.

Went to relax for a moment, enjoy the view & nature. It's huge park plenty to see and do. This world has so much hidden beauty, you have to just stop look and find them. If you live or are visiting the STL, stop by and check it out.

Tower Grove Park is an excellent park. It's huge and has an early-1900s sort of feel to it, with added modern touches. There are colorful gazebos and pavillions here and nice picturesque ponds and fountains throughout the park. There are playgrounds, a farmers market, tennis courts, paved walking paths, statues, and more here. It is also the location of Food truck Friday and the Festival of Nations. I feel that this park kind of gets overshadowed by Forest Park, but it is still a great park and has its own charm that sets it apart from Forest Park.

I do love me some Tower Grove Park. This is where I come for a long leisurely stroll when I was a change of scenery from my park that I live across the street from. Tower Grove was developed by the same man who created Botanical Gardens. Thank you Mr. Shaw for you delightful tribute to the city. Its namesake originates from the tower-eque feature that Shaw has located in the Botanical Garden itself. The park has 11 original Victorian pavilions that can be used for leisure or group settings for a small fee depending on which pavilion you choose. All the pavilions offer a little piece of history that the date and the name of the pavilion itself on the plaque in front of them. Tower Grove runs two miles long which gives it plenty of walking trails and room for all the extras. Within the park, there is a green house called the Piper Palm House which is used for weddings, brunch on Sundays, and the St. Louis symphony will have free performances there during the warmer months. One of my favorite things is the pool pavilion area. Over there, you have the farmer's market that takes place every Saturday from 8am til when ever, two playgrounds, a water area for kids that has a small fountain that shoots out water, tennis courts, and if you're lucky, a band will play free shows on occasion. The "ancient ruins" are original to the park created in 1872 and restored in 2010 by Emerson. It has a picturesque water fountain that is on year round. Also, some reflection pools where the ducks insist on leaving their dropping for everyone to step in.... Benches for people to enjoy the scenery and it lies right next to the Piper Palm House. The stone hedges are very popular for kids and even adults such as myself to sometimes climb on just for the fun of it. I genuinely love this park. Filled with history and just wonderful nature in general. Beware of the awful yellow speed bumps though. They're not very forgiving to your car.

I had a great time with my family at food truck friday last night. We sampled food from 7 different trucks but I have to say, my favorite was the lobster taco at Cha Cha Chow. What a wonderful way to bring people together. There were several thousand comfortably spread throughout the park area under the trees. Wonderful event

Love this park! If Forest Park didn't have a Zoo, Muny, History Museum and a 1904 Worlds Fair connection they'd be equal. It's a great place for a "stroll through the park" with a romantic connection or "walking your best friend" (dog). The city does a great job on keeping the parks landscaping looking picture perfect. As mentioned by Pamela R. the pavilions rent cheap and are great for a large group party or family reunion. I've attended many birthday, graduation and work parties under one of these pavilions and each one was a blast. I bet you are wondering why I gave TGP only 3 stars. Let me tell you. Twice now, when I have been at a party under one of their pavilions a park ranger has come around to tell us they are locking the bathrooms. What? They are telling us this between 4-5PM, just when the party is kicking into high gear and the beer is flowing. This is a bummer, it is like they are telling us our party is over. Can't they leave them open to at least dusk? What is a girl to do? A boy can be adventurous and risk the chance of being arrested for indecent exposure. Besides them locking up the restrooms early, TGP is a great jewel in the crown of Saint Louis.

Actually we do know about this park before. We ordered the burgers near the park. Then i looking for the park near me so i found this park. I'm very happy with the park it's not that much big. Can walk around there have a lot of pavilions. We sit down to eat at Turkey pavilions.

I love Tower Grove Park. It's just blocks away from my house so it's very convenient for a run or walking my pup. It host two of the best (of many great) events in the city - Food Truck Friday's and the Festival of Nations. Tower Grove also has a farmer's market on Saturdays and during that same time there is yoga in an adjoining open space. The park also has many picnic areas and hosts many kickball, soft, and frisbee games. The pond and fountains are picturesque as are the trees and walking paths. It's beautiful and comforting and truly one of my favorite places.

I think Abby S. mentioned as well but this park is one of the reasons I love the city. I also used to live close to the park and I used to walk there with my puppy all the time. I really miss being so close by! It is such a beautiful park with so many trees and pavilions. It's a great place to do anything from riding your bike to relaxing. A park like no other!

not only am I proud to call this park my neighborhood park, but I am lucky enough to have it about 3 minutes away walking distance from my house. I frequent this park often to eat meals there, to hang out with friends, and to watch the various sporting events like Kickball or soccer going on during the weekends. Tower Grove is a great park for walkers and bike riders, there are annual events that are held in the park, the Gay & Lesbian Pride celebration, the Festival of Nations, The Pagan Picnic, and every Monday night they have band concerts where people bring blankets, lawn chairs and cop a squat with some food and friends and take in some enjoyable music for free.. Friday's during the summer they have a food truck that comes to the park, and on Saturdays there is a busy farmer's market going on over by the pavilion offering tastes from all over the city and surrounding area. they also have several pavilions available for rental for events and family functions, and they are rented at affordable prices. Tower Grove park is indeed truly a St. Louis Gem standing since 1868 and will stand for years to come...

I have been coming to Tower Grove park for years. Beautiful park! Most recently was here for a wedding and it was beautiful. This park is so pretty!
