Tower Grove Park Plans Underway

Tower Grove Park was established in 1868 thanks to the vision of its founder, Henry Shaw. For nearly 150 years, this beautiful, 289-acre park has helped to define our neighborhood, providing unique design, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities ranging from individual pursuits to popular annual festivals. 

The park's Board of Director is now in the process of developing a master plan that will serve as a blueprint for the park's future. The Board encourages residents to contribute ideas for the park's use and maintenance. The process will begin next week with an open house. 

What:  Tower Grove Park Master Plan Open House 
Where:  Piper Palm House, Tower Grove Park
When:  Wednesday, January 18 at 6 PM

Beginning January 19th, you may submit comments through an online survey found at TowerGrovePark.org, or  email suggestions to TGPMasterPlan@towergrovepark.org. The public comment period will last through April 30th.
