Regional Destinations
Gateway Arch Grounds
Located at the base of the Gateway
Arch, the CityArchRiver project is
transforming the existing open space
into a more visitor-friendly, multiuse
outdoor space. The creation of walking and bicycle trails, play areas and
entertainment spaces will impact both
tourists and residents alike. In May of
this year, residents celebrated the renovation with a community picnic that

included a 2,016-foot-long picnic table
and fireworks.

Forest Park
More than 500 acres larger than New
York's Central Park, Forest Park spans
1,370 acres and houses not only green
spaces, but also the local zoo, history
museum, science center and art museum.
Forest Park opened in 1876 and today is
visited by 12 million people annually. It
Missouri Botanical Garden

was recently ranked the best urban park
in the United States by USA Today.

Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park
The largest park in the county parks system, Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park
is slightly larger than 2,000 acres. It contains the largest natural lake in Missouri, a golf course, tennis courts, athletic
fields, an archery course and numerous
facilities for walkers and picnicking.
The park also contains a significant wetlands system and maintains habitat for a
variety of waterfowl.

Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park
Directly across the Mississippi River from
the St. Louis Arch, the Malcom W. Martin
Memorial Park is a 34-acre park and home
to the Mississippi River Overlook and the
Gateway Geyser. The overlook is located
on the west side of the park and provides a
40-foot-high view of the river and overlooks
the arch and St. Louis skyline across the river. The Gateway Geyser is the tallest fountain in the United States and second tallest
in the world, reaching 630 feet into the air.

Greenways
In 2000, residents of the greater St. Louis
area voted to create Great Rivers Greenway with the goal to connect parks with
greenways throughout the area, providing
trails to connect people and places. When
complete, more than 600 miles of trails
will give residents access to parks, neighborhoods, rivers and businesses across the
region. Great Rivers Greenway has created
an interactive web-based tool to help visitors find areas to explore based on individual interests like wildlife-watching, fishing,
biking or finding a playground.
