Highwoods Park is easily one of our favorite places in STMA to spend a summer morning.
Located on Frankfort Parkway in the Highwoods neighborhood, this park is just a hop and a jump from highway 241, making it an easy stop following a trip to Cub Foods or the library.
The park is clean and well-kept, with a large playground and plenty of green space for running around in. The playground itself is fun and creative, with a couple of features I’d never seen before. It’s also a climber-kid’s paradise, with at least four climbing structures, three kinds of monkey bars, and five different slides.
The playground overlooks the athletic fields and a slope down to the townhome neighborhood, making it an excellent place to go sledding in the wintertime!
