This former residence of Henry and Matilda Laumeier was bequeathed to St. Louis County as a park in 1968, opened to the public in 1975 and shortly after became a sculpture garden. The 105 acres are open for picnics, walks with pets (on leash) and admiration of the giant, notable sculptures. The cut-stone house has become a museum and offices for the park. There are classes, exhibits and outdoor events held throughout the year. Plenty of lot parking. Visitors wander the site most days.
This community space, which was constructed in honor of Wildwood's 10th anniversary, is a cozy retreat from the hectic day-to-day pace. Children can enjoy the playground, swing, roll on grass, and romp right within the eye sight of grandparents, parents or guardians sitting on the multiple park benches on the perimeter of the play area.
Older children may want to shoot hoops on the nearby single basketball court.
Reservations for the on-site pavilion will be taken no more than 365 days in advance of an event. The cost to reserve the pavilion is $30 for residents, and $50 for non-residents to cover administrative expenses. Groups using the pavilion are limited to 30 people, due to parking availability. Reservations can be done on-line or by a form available at Wildwood's City Hall. Payment is required within one week of an on-line reservation being made.
