Parks in West End
Amherst Park
Amherst Park takes its name from Baron Jeffrey Amherst (1717-1747), a British army officer in the French and Indian war.
Gwen Giles Park
The park was placed into ordinance in 1959, it was formerly known as Catalpa Park named after the elegant tree with the long seed pods and large heart shaped leaves common in these parts and native to a very small area in Southern Illinois/Missouri/Arkansas/Kentucky and Tennessee along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The Catalpa is one of the most quintessential Midwestern American trees truly native to this center part of the country, and has since spread throughout the Eastern U.S.
Parkland Park
This 2.35 acre park was placed into ordinance in 1968 and it totally has the feel of a late 60's early 70's park. The park is across Hamilton Avenue from a massive surface parking lot formerly serving the 1960's era Cook Elementary school, now occupied by West End Mount Carmel Community Services.
Russell Park
This track of land was donated to the City of St. Louis by the late St. Louis Architect, Ernest J. Russell.
