Confirmed from Creve Coeur Park Picnic Site 1's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Public park featuring a sailboat lake, plus family areas with spray-fountain playgrounds for kids.
What runners say about Creve Coeur Park Picnic Site 1
“Clean restrooms, sonic views fireplaces, very scenic and deer very visible.”
“A beautiful lake in Creve Coeur to enjoy water activities like fishing, canoeing and kayaking, a 3 mile walking and biking trails.”
It was wonderful! There are so many things to do and explore! I was happily surprised by the size of the park! There is also paddle boarding, canoeing, and fishing! Plenty of paths, too, walk around and a perfect place to camp or do a day trip. I proposed to my fiance by the waterfall! Absolutely gorgeous 😍
A great park in the St. Louis area. Plenty of parking but seems to get quite popular and a bit crowded and congested towards later afternoon/evening. The trail appeared quite popular with lots of walkers, joggers and cyclists making use of it. The lake itself was a huge hit for me.
We were in town for soccer tournament's over the weekend. The park is nice. It has grass walking trail around the perimeter. Pets are welcome and must be leashed at all times. They ask you not to bring outside, or beverages.
The place is beautiful. It has got shelters. Really a good picnic spot. The walking trail is also pretty good 👍. One can also go kayaking. Lovely place to spend time with your loved ones. Play volleyball if you get your own ball. A wonderful recreational place. One of the best recreational parks in St Louis.
