Getting There
This greenway segment is located along Market Street on the south side of Energizer Park in downtown St. Louis to the Harris-Stowe State University at Compton Ave.
Each greenway is managed in cooperation with different municipalities and parks departments, who set the rules for greenway use, parking and hours of operation. This segment of greenway is managed in partnership with STL City SC, the City of St. Louis, Harris-Stowe State University and Great Rivers Greenway.
Things to Do
Explore History Learn more about this history of the once-thriving Mill Creek Valley neighborhood which was destroyed (and 20,000 Black residents displaced) in the name of “urban renewal.” See the permanent public art installation, Pillars of the Valley, that commemorates Mill Creek Valley. This art installation was created by Damon Davis with support from partners Great Rivers Greenway, St. Louis CITY SC, City of St. Louis, Counterpublic and Harris-Stowe State University.
There’s also a mural on the baseball field dugout commemorating the St. Louis Stars, world champions in the Negro Leagues for 3 out of their 4 years of competition.
