Have you ever taken a stroll through Tower Grove Park and an unexpected animal passes by – on the ground, in a tree, or up in the sky? Did you know that for a park in the city, Tower Grove Park hosts a wide variety of urban wildlife, just within the 289-acres of land?
Join our Fall Community Day collaboration event, Fall Frolic, with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and learn about urban wildlife. Begin at the Information/Passport Station and visit the interactive activity stations to learn fun information about animals found in the city.
There will be food/beverage vendors onsite. Trailnet will be setting up a Bike Rodeo behind the Roman Pavilion – be sure to bring your kiddo’s bike along! ArtScope will be providing nature-inspired art activities. End the night with firepits, s’mores, and live music.
