Parks & Nature

Beautiful park with gardens on each corner and down the middle is the Lily pond with unique mosaic art pieces. This is the centerpiece of St Louis Hills where I live. Benches dot the interior and perimeter of the park. Tennis, handball, racquetball, gardens, playgrounds, walking/running any time of day or night it's safe.
