Buzzard’s Roost Playground

Honestly, Buzzard’s Roost is the kind of place locals keep to themselves — just a solid sandbox and swings, but the shade trees here are genuinely impressive and make a huge difference on a hot Missouri afternoon. Kids gravitate toward the sandbox every single time, and it’s big enough that a handful of them can dig away without anyone getting territorial. Nothing fancy going on, which is kind of the whole point. If you’re after something simple that actually works, this one delivers.
