Project Overview:
A portion of the Meramec Greenway in Unger Park has been closed as a result of repeated flooding. We are working with St. Louis County to rebuild the greenway in a location that is resilient to flooding conditions and make other enhancements within the park. When complete, the greenway in Unger Park will be connected to Fenton City Park, George Winter Park, and the walking and biking bridge over the Meramec River along I-44.
Project Location:
Unger County Park in St. Louis County near Fenton, Missouri.
Project Partners:
Great Rivers Greenway
St Louis County

Project Goals:
Between November 2022 and September 2023, we convened a Stakeholder Advisory Group, conducted a public survey, and attended community events and pop-ups to understand what you wanted to be able to see and do at Unger Park. Here is what we learned from those efforts! The map below shows the recommended trail alignment and proposed amenity improvements to Unger Park based on feasibility studies and community input.
Project Update:
This video describes the recommended improvements to Unger Park in further detail. These recommended improvements were created based on technical feasibility studies and community input. During the next phase of this project, the technical team will be working to advance this design from conceptual to final. Construction is anticipated in 2026-2027.
