Tower Grove Park - City of St. Louis

Tower Grove Park is the second largest park in the City, encompassing 289 acres. Donated to the City in 1868 by Henry Shaw, the park is considered the finest remaining example in the nation of an urban Victorian park landscape. In 1989, the park was designated as a National Historic Landmark, one of only four urban parks in the country to be so recognized. Tower Grove Park is governed by a Board of Commissioners that has approved a Master Plan to guide infrastructure improvements. Major capital improvements over the next five years will include repair to basic infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and athletic fields, and repairs to historic structures, including picnic shelters, the Piper Plant House, the Stone Shelter, Pavilions and entrances. Other projects include, resurface roads and trails, turf repairs, lighting improvements, tennis courts renovations, playground renovations, entrance renovations, signage, drinking fountain and other equipment replacement. The FY15 Metro Parks and 1/2 Cent Capital provided funds for repairs to the Historic Structures, Reforestation, Equipment Replacement and Other Projects in the Park. The new 3/16 Cent Metro Parks Tax, which started in FY13, will provide additional revenue. In FY16 part of the funding from the 1/2 Cent Capital Improvement Sales Tax for Major Parks and the Metro Parks Sales Tax for Major Parks has been combined to support the new 2014 Park Improvement Bonds. he FY23 Capital Funds will provide for Fleet and Mowing Equipment, Magnolia House Roof repairs, Stupp Center Lighting, Resurfacing the Tennis & Pickleball Courts and other repair projects. This project is included in the city's 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
