Never has a sinkhole been as attractive |
Simpson and Bowman (5600 Clayton Avenue inside Forest Park, [Parks Office]) St. Louis, MO 63110 United States +1 314 289 5330 |
To the average traveler, this park may appear unimpressive. However, there is an interesting history behind this public landmark site. The lake, which is actually more like a pond, originated from a sinkhole. The park was created in 1912 for the residents of Clifton Heights, while additional property was added in 1922, making the neighborhood park a total four and a half acres. Turn-of-the-century Victorian homes line the park area, which houses a playground, a rest area and, of course, the lake. Review © 2007, Wcities |
