Great Rivers Greenway is partnering with the National Recreation and Park Association, Beyond Housing and the City of Wellston to transform a vacant lot at the corner of Skinker and Etzel into a vibrant community park. Named after the mascot of the former Wellston High School, Trojan Park aims to create a safe place for families to gather and play.
The park will include a family pavilion, splash plaza, butterfly gardens and play/fitness/creative equipment for all ages. The new park will also feature a full size basketball and volleyball court.
Special thanks to the following vendors and companies for making this project possible, including the St. Louis County Municipal Grant Commission:
