Our Mission
The mission of Tower Grove Park is to be an exemplary, well-preserved and well-presented, wooded Victorian park of international significance that provides important recreational, educational and cultural opportunities for the public in a way that is compatible with its unique and historic character. The Park is located in St. Louis city, bordered by the Shaw, Tower Grove South, Tower Grove East, and Southwest Garden neighborhoods.

Tower Grove Park’s landscape of grassy meadows, approximately seven thousand trees and many varied flowerbeds make the park an important urban green space. The Park is a premier urban and historical destination, and is maintained through an annual park maintenance program, an urban forest renewal program, and an array of free and low-cost educational, recreational, cultural and social opportunities for schools, neighboring communities, and the St. Louis region. Cultural and educational programs include the Summer Children’s Performance Series, the Tower Grove Farmers' Market, lecture series, art exhibits, and band concerts. Victorian pavilions are a favorite site for family, school, and community events and celebrations. Well-maintained trails, tennis courts and athletic fields are busy year-round. The Park’s splash pad and three playgrounds are well-maintained, safe, and fun family gathering places.

Tower Grove Park annually serves thousands of children and adults of diverse races/ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds from the St. Louis region. The majority of those served by Tower Grove Park are residents of nearby neighborhoods in the city of St. Louis.
