St. Louis Place Park

St. Louis Place Park is a public park stretching across ten continuous blocks on the north side of St. Louis, featuring walking paths, basketball courts, and a spray pool. The grounds also include a modern playground and are bordered by historic brick buildings.

The park was established in 1850 through land donations by Governor John Miller, John O'Fallon, and Louis LaBeaume. This commitment created a major green space in the urban north side of the city.

The park is surrounded by historic brick buildings and serves as a gathering space where neighbors enjoy the open green area together during warmer months.

The park is accessible by MetroBus transit service and all facilities are free to use. The best time to visit is during warmer months when all amenities are fully operational.

The park borders historic Engine House No. 5 of the St. Louis Fire Department, which stands as a reminder of the city's firefighting past. This building remains a distinctive part of the surrounding neighborhood landscape.
