Funded by donors to Forest Park Forever and completed in partnership with the City of St. Louis, the
Anne O’C. Albrecht Nature Playscape is a 17-acre experiential play space that opened in 2021. Featuring
nine distinct activity areas, this free destination includes sand play areas, willow tunnels, stump
steppers, boulders and rocks, hand water pumps, and much more. The goal: Encourage visitors —
especially kids — to connect with nature as they engage their senses as they explore, discover, and
learn. Join members of the Forest Park Forever education team for a tour of the space to learn about its
history, ecology, the hundreds of children engaged in the design, and the programs happening there
today.
