Great park! Lots of street parking.
There are always a ton of families and dogs here.
The beer garden is located near the pickleball and tennis courts.
I believe there are 6 pickleball courts and like 8 tennis courts; would love for them to add lights to the courts so we could play later.
There are bathrooms on the back side of the beer garden.
It looks like there is a very nice children's play area, however, I don't have any children so I have not investigated any further.

I absolutely love Francis Park. Even after moving out of the city I will drive there to run around the park. They continue to maintain the park and make it great place to visit. Adding Rockwell Brewery was a great touch. It’s a clean, safe, and beautiful park.
Amazing park, has a beautiful small lotus pond. Has squash / handball courts (I think). A few tennis and a few pickleball courts, these two which are right next to the beer garden that has amazing pizza and coffee. Closed down for the winter but such a cool spot during the summer. It has a nice big playground for kids as well and ample distance to walk. Such a nice neighborhood around. They also have great events probably a couple times a month. I think it’s my favorite park in St. Louis.
I bet the water feature is really neat in the summer. It was drained for the season, but still neat sculptures. Beautiful mature trees. All different kinds. The maples were beautiful in the center of the park. This rural lady needed nature and the park delivered nature in a city. Nice playground for kids, tennis courts, gazebo, benches.
Francis park is a nice park for everyone to enjoy. Today they had the annual St Louis Hills Art in the Park festival within Francis Park. There were around 100 booths with various art works displayed that were for sale. There were also food booths and a music stage set up. A good time to stroll around enjoying the art work, eat a little and enjoy listening to various musical artists playing.
Beautiful smaller park in the heart of St Louis Hills. It's about 1.5 miles to walk around the perimeter. It's a big square. Beautiful surrounding neighborhood. Lots of green space. Also, Rockwell Brewing has a nice pavillion restaurant that serves some food beer and other drinks. There is plenty of parking around all sides of the park. Park at a 45-degree angle.
My mother would take me on walks with her friends here in the 80's, I walked here with my cousins in the 90's, and now I walk here with my teenager. It is and has always been a beautiful park with ample space for many activities. There is a nice playground, tennis courts, gazebo, beer garden, 24 hour churches on the corners, walking distance to Ted Drewes, benches everywhere, it feels peaceful and safe. Hope it stays that way.
We love checking out local parks while walking our little Doodle Dog. One of our favorites is Francis Park in the lovely Saint Louis Hills neighborhood. Nice walking paths through and around the park. You also have the Rockwell Beer Garden in the evening for good food and great beer. Don’t miss the every other Thursday farmer’s market in the summer. Always a good time.
