Crews are building a new paved greenway along the east side of Brentwood Blvd. and also adding an extension to the side of the bridge over Deer Creek to allow for a wider path.

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 new 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.
