Stacy Park

One of the better family parks in Olivette, honestly — Stacy Park has enough going on that you can spend a solid couple of hours here without running out of things to do. The kids (2 to 12, really) have the playground covered while you claim a picnic table under the shade trees, and the BBQ area actually makes it worth hauling the whole crew out for an afternoon. There’s a walking path and bike track that loop through near the tree line, and a pond nearby that gives the whole place a quieter feel than you’d expect this close to everything. Basketball court, soccer field, open grass — it’s the kind of park where half the neighborhood ends up on a Saturday without anyone really planning it. Restrooms are clean and updated, which, honestly, matters more than people admit.
