Confirmed from Millennium Park'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.
25-acre park with 2 unique playgrounds, seasonal splash play area & space for picnics & sports.
What runners say about Millennium Park
“With well-maintained gardens, walking paths, and stunning city views, it’s perfect for tourists and locals alike.”
A hidden gem back behind BJC. All the equipment is very new and well kept. A modern playground and splash pad are the highlights but there are walking trails and sports fields as well.
This is a nice paved trail that's good for a quick walk offering about half shade and half sun. The day I was there the park was very busy, but the trail itself was almost empty with only one other person besides me. It's a perk for local workers at Barnes Jewish West County and a bonus for the local residents.
This 25 acres park is one of my favorite parks in Creve Coeur area. I used to go here all the time with my kid. It was recently renovated and reopened 3 days ago. Playground area is huge and updated. There is a nice trail for bike ride, and gated splash pad. Nice and clean restroom right next to the splash pad.
I recently did a Saturday morning walk from Millennium Park. I was the first one there at 7 a.m. but when I left around 10:30 the parking lot was full with other walkers and t-ball players. I like the walking loop within the park but it also connects with the BJC fitness path and adjacent neighborhood sidewalks.

- SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller
