This park is such a well kept secret I kind of hate to yelp it....but you have to share what's great...and then hope it doesn't get ruined when people discover it.  

Regardless of my fear...I will go on to talk about why this park is so awesome.  Even though Creve Coeur has over the years, become a sprawling suburb, this park does not clue you into that fact one little bit.  In fact, this little park is an enclave of nature at its best.  There is little path, so it isn't bombarded with people running, there's not a playground, so there's no screaming children, and it's filled with trees and birds.  I actually came her originally because the RFT listed this as the best place to bird watch.  I can't say I am much of a bird watcher, but I figured why not give this place a chance.  They were totally spot on with their analysis.  There really are more birds than people in this park, it's practically swarming with them, and not in any obnoxious way.  It is more in a beautiful song bird kind of way.  

This is a great place to picnic or lay around and read a book on a beautiful fall day.  It is totally worth checking out.  Though small, this park is mighty and pretty darn cool all at the same time.
