Minniewood Spray Pool (Minnie Wood Memorial Square)

✓ Last confirmed for the 2025 season · confirmed against the parks department

One of the city's official spray pools, tucked into a small memorial square along South Broadway. It is a simple, no-frills spot for a quick cool-down on the south side.

What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps playground alongside, parking at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.

When to go. Peak summer highs in St. Louis average 88°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
