My sweet dog and I stopped at Vago Park (both coming and going) as we drove through St. Louis. The park was super clean, cute kids playing nicely, peaceful walking paths, and beautiful shade trees all around. We would definitely be regulars if we lived in the area. It was a perfect place for a relaxing walk and to sit in the cool grass for a while.

Great set up of the park. There are two playgrounds. One for little and one for big kids. You can have a get together under two pavilions with BBQ grills or spread out a blanket for a picnic on the grass. There are water fountains and a splash area for kids or adults to play in the water. You can play sand volleyball, horseshoes, or other games. The walking trails and gardens attract dog walkers, walkers, runners, and skaters.There is a part of the sidewalk that honor those who are or have served in the military. Next to is an Elementary School. Nice place little league or friends to gather to play baseball. There is a track around the perimeter of the fields. Good for various sports and games. People set up equipment and play football, volleyball, soccer, frisbee, etc. It's even a excellent place to train and walk your dog. There are two basketball ball courts and a playground that can be used when school is not in session.

It’s a nice park, there is lots of trees and shade by the playgrounds. I like that there is a smaller playground for the tiny ones to play on and a larger one for the bigger kids. Splash pad is fun on hot days too. Several pavilions and there is some exercise stuff in the very back.

A small playground for younger kids, a larger playground for older kids, a walking track, horseshoes pits, sand vollyball court, sand box, swings, and a splash pad that turns off automatically in 30 minutes to conserve water! This park is ideal for kids big and small, family reunions, school picnics and club socials. It has many picnicing pavilions, secluded tables both covered and uncovered, and plenty of well maintained trash recepticles. Loving this park!
