Deer Creek Greenway

Deer Creek Park to Brentwood Park

Description

You can walk or ride to nearby parks, Deer Creek Shopping Center and connect to other restaurants, businesses and residential neighborhoods in Maplewood, Webster Groves and Brentwood. Maplewood’s Deer Creek Park is often called “Rocket Park” because of its space-themed playground and tall rocket slide. It is a very popular gathering place for families with small children. There are baseball and soccer fields on the Webster Groves side of the park.  You can also find restrooms, picnic areas and a gazebo. In Lorraine Davis Park, there are  boardwalks, landscaping with native plants, and a pavilion with picnic tables and a drinking fountain overlooking the confluence of Deer and Shady Creeks. There is a half court basketball court in Barnickel Park. Thanks to the funding and cooperation by the City of Webster Groves and the Bellwether Foundation, Inc., there is a trailhead  along Marshall Avenue, just east of Brentwood Blvd. The trailhead includes parking for greenway users, a covered pavilion, a drinking fountain, a bike fix-it station and a “pump track,” which features a series of rolling hills and banked turns where bicyclists can have fun and practice their mountain-biking skills. Brentwood Park has a 2.7 acre destination playground with water features. There is also an underpass beneath Manchester Road that connects to community trails as well as a connection to the intersection of Laclede Station/Hanley and Manchester Rd near the Maplewood Metro Station.

Waterways

In the event of flooding, the lower part of the park along Deer Creek is designed to contain water as the natural floodplain would.
