St.
Louis’ parks serve as the anchor for neighborhoods that
make the city a good place to live, work and play. They are
gathering spots for neighbors to meet, playgrounds, summer concerts,
picnics, ball games, tennis courts and lakes. These parks offer
a quiet oasis in the heart of the city and a place for walking,
running, biking, dogs and their owners. Parks also provide a
quiet place to get away from the city. Plants and trees make
city streets come alive with colors in the spring and fall and
provide shade in summer. St. Louis provides diverse recreational,
cultural and historical attractions available to city residents
through its many facilities and institutions. 
Sitting
in the heart of downtown St. Louis, Kiener Plaza and the Morton
D. May Amphitheater offer a dramatic view of the Old Court House
and the Gateway Arch. It is the home of Cardinal and Ram rallies
and victory parties, concerts, weddings and the place where
workers escape their offices for lunch and relaxation. Francis
Park is the center of St. Louis Hills, Lafayette Park anchors
Lafayette Square, Fairground residents gather in Fairground
Park and Forest Park is the heart of St. Louis. 
The
majority of the city's parks were established during the era
known as "The Gilded Age" from 1869 to the turn of
the 20th century and were created to meet the social needs of
a crowded, industrial city. They provide an escape from crowded
apartment buildings, a place to view artwork, a home for a zoo
and a nature preserve. The City of St. Louis has carved green
space from the concrete and bricks that make up the downtown
business district.
