Citygarden

It’s nice when you wanna stroll around some grass and hear flowing water super crowded in the summer if your looking for a park setting i would suggest Forrest park

This is a really cool garden both during the day and at night. It makes for a great place to take a walk, especially when you’re going to see the Arch. The artwork all varies, which makes things very interesting. This would be a really nice place to have a picnic during the day. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the downtown area already.

Fun spot to take the kids, though it gets kinda busy on super hot days. It’s fun for locals and tourists alike. Sit and watch the kids play, or join them and wade in the water! Wonderful spot to take family portraits, too, if you can go on a day where there aren’t too many folks!

My husband and I grabbed a cup of coffee and took a walk from the Arch area to Citygarden. We enjoyed it, but like other reviewers note, don’t plan your whole day around it. It was a bit chilly while we were there, so we were in and out in 15 minutes. But still fun to see once.

The Citygarden was the highlight of our STL weekend getaway for me. The art is varied in style, medium, and size which made it a lot of fun to tour. There’s a celebrity narrated audio tour available on iOS devices which gives a lot of interesting background on the pieces and the artists. It’s a comfortable park to relax in or walk through.

I kept walking by here on my way to and from Scottrade Center, and finally on my last afternoon in St. Louis I walked around it a bit. I’m sure it’s a lot better on a sunny, warm day, so I’ll definitely be checking it out again.
I was basically the only person in there besides a security guard. this was just after noon on a Monday (people were in Death in the Afternoon, though). I walked around and checked out all the sculptures, there is definitely a lot of art packed into this space.
The two rabbits were definitely my favorite. I had also noticed a lot of stuff lit up at night when I’d be walking by, so I like that it has sort of an all day appeal to it.
Again, I’m sure not coming in winter is ideal given the name, but this is still an enjoyable area in the middle of downtown. It’s a nice change from building after building after building and I bet it’s super nice when the weather is better to sit and eat lunch away from work.

Citygarden is a multifaceted, imaginative sanctuary accommodating a variety of ages and interests. This green space provides peaceful respite for downtown residents, tourists, and workers. It’s also a wonderful example of a «third place,» which is essential to our society, cultural landscape, and personal well being. I have collected many fond memories from visits to Citygarden: watching fireworks with my family on Independence Day, meeting up with friends to watch children play in the fountain and pool, and pondering the modern sculpture with my husband.
Although I’m partial to the aesthetic style of older, more traditional gardens, Citygarden seamlessly merges the amenities of a park into a tasteful garden setting. It’s designed to offer places to gather larger groups as well as quiet seclusion for couples or individuals. Children love the water features and the oversized, peculiar art installations.
I’ve been itching to try the café, Death in the Afternoon, which overlooks the eastern corner of Citygarden. During the mild weather months, food trucks line up to cater to the lunch crowd. If you’re interested in art and/​or botany, Citygarden provides a printed guide, audio guide, and an app.

A fantastic common area in downtown St. Louis with some amazing art, sculpture and visual displays. Lot of restaurants and bars nearby and a GREAT view of the Arch the whole time. A gem in Downtown St. Louis. Worth stopping by for a bit for photos while downtown near this urban park/​art/​garden area. Also, be sure to visit Union Station area and that hotel. In summer, the fountains nearby are superb too.

I love this place! it’s the perfect place to go for a walk when the weather isn’t sucky.
In the summer, i’ve seen kids run around the water areas and swim in one of the fountain type places. I really like it as a community space. I’ve also come here in the fall and run through the sculptures with friends, snapping pictures of us being loony.
I really love this park. It’s extra awesome because you can park your car right across the street and find good food and see the arch, all within a short walk.

I love city garden. It surprises me everytime I visit. There are lots of neat pieces of art, interactive and interesting. Very well maintained. Easy walk to the arch. It’s a gem.

A great little oasis in the middle of a busting city. I loved being able to walk to Citygarden while recently attending conference in St.Lou. It’s provides a great break from freezing meeting rooms with drab interior. I even got to watch a bunny get a fresh coat of paint. Not something you see every day.

City Garden is a beautiful place to walk around downtown on a nice cool day! Its even better when they have food trucks around during lunch hour! this place is great for both kids and adults! i love how STL keeps this park clean and updates everything!

This is a pretty cool park in Saint Louis. I suggest the tourist to come here! There are unique statues scattered near this head.

This is a gorgeous example of why I love St. Louis. This is not a park for stiffly walking through and debating on the sociological constructs depicted in each piece. This is a park for wading in the fountains, climbing on the pedestals, hiding in the trees, flopping on the grass, gazing at the skyline, and debating on the sociological constructs depicted in each piece. It’s a LIVED park, and instantly one of my favorite parts of the city.

A very cool, relaxing place in the midst of a hot and paved downtown.
Grass, shade, water and lemonade make it a must see.
Grab a guide and relax as you wander through the sculpture gardens.

This garden has something for everyone. For those that like art, there are lots of cool sculptures all around the garden. There are lots of different trees, grass and flowers to see and admire. And these have plaques with information to learn more about them. :)
What I liked about this garden are the small pools and water sprinklers for the kids! What a great idea! The sprinklers were perfect on our visit as it was 98 degrees! The kids enjoyed getting refreshed and wet.

Beautiful little park located in the heart of downtown St. Louis. Within walking distance to Busch Stadium, Hooter’s, The Arch, courthouses Culinaria grocery market, Rooster, Bailey’s Range, Park Ave Coffee, The Westin Hotel and a ton of little nooks and crannies.
The park sets right off Death in the Afternoon which is a great place to grab a delicious bite to eat and glass of wine. There are really cool structure fixated with water falls and such which makes it great for kids and lovers (if you’re into romance)
The park is well kept and an amazing attraction to relax or explore.

Citygarden is another beautiful Saint Louis park. It is filled beautiful sculptures, beautiful landscaping and beautiful fountains. What makes it even more beautiful, is you get to enjoy it for free.
It’s a great place to go and escape the stresses of our crazy lives. A quite stroll through the park will have you feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. As an added bonus, you can enjoy breakfast or lunch on the patio at Death In The Afternoon which is located on the Chestnut side of the park.
I highly recommend a visit to our city residents and tourist. I also encourage our county residents to come down and experience the beauty and peacefulness of Citygarden.
In closing, I will say it one more time, this is a beautiful park.

Every city should have a sculpture park in their downtown core and the joyful Citygarden sets a high standard. The works on display are by renowned artists. I came to see the sculpture by Ju Ming, a Taiwanese artist whose block figure works are in woefully short supply — almost nonexistent, really — in the United States.
Keeping normal urban parks in great shape in any city takes effort because wear-​and-​tear is inevitable and, well, people like nice spaces after all. It’s a tribute to the city and those that maintain Citygarden that this stellar collection of sculpture and well-​kept grounds look fabulous.
Now, St Louis, can you extend CityGarden just one block north and work some magic on that hulking Richard Serra work from 1982 that sits in total neglect? Wow, what a contrast.

The Citygarden is a beautiful little park located in Downtown St. Louis. This urban oasis is packed with sculptures, water features and botanical garden designed landscaping. I often walk through this park on my way to ballgames, but also enjoy relaxing here on a nice sunny day. Be sure to check out the free phone app that you can download. This tool is GPS interactive and provides a map and detailed audio information on the sculptures. Photographers will enjoy this place, but it’s the children playing in the water on a hot summer day who especially love this park. 5 stars for urban tranquility.
