About the Venue

Zachary's Playground at Hawk Ridge Park is one of the St. Louis area's foundational inclusive playgrounds and remains a strong choice for families needing broad accessibility. Official sources describe fully ramped toddler and 5-12 sections, ADA-accessible swings, music features, a climbing net with seats, poured-in-place surfacing, and a fully accessible splash pad. The playground uses castle and boat themes that give mixed-age visits more imaginative play options while keeping access front and center.
