Recently Renovated Playground
This newly renovated playground is a beauty! It was so bright and colorful. The playground had all new equipment. The amount of climbing opportunities seemed endless. They had multiple sections across the playground, some geared for the 2-5 crowd and the taller section geared up to 12 years old. Big slides, little slides and swings! Swings included a baby swing and an accessible swing.

About Savage Kirkwood Neighborhood Park
This playground is next to paved trails so it may get a little crowded on the weekends when people are using trails but there was only one family there on a weekday. There is a pavilion next to the playground with picnic tables, which provided some shade. The rest of the playground has really little shade and is very hot on a summer day. Winter or Spring would be an awesome time to visit when you’re chilly and wanting those sunrays to keep everyone warm.
Parking is on the street and near a neighborhood. Heurich Playground is only 5 minutes so it makes a nice 2 in 1 visit when you are in the area.
