Description
This segment of greenway connects to St. Louis’s crown jewel, Forest Park, at the Missouri History Museum. It crosses Delmar and meanders through Ruth Porter Mall Park on its way to Trojan Park. There is a new “pocket park” overlooking Engeholm Creek at the intersection of Stephen Jones and Plymouth Avenues. You can also connect to all of the amazing attractions found in Forest Park–the St. Louis Zoo, Art Museum, golf course, bike and walking trails, the Muny and much more! You can also stop and spend some time in Wellston’s Trojan Park and enjoy the splash pad, three playgrounds, full court basketball court, butterfly gardens or just relax and enjoy the fresh air
