The 1.5 mile extension of the Great Rivers Greenway that connects the Shrewsbury Metrolink station to Slay Park runs through the Lindenwood Park and Ellendale Neighborhoods near St. Louis' southwest border. This extension was on our list of favorite 2016 projects that came to completion in 2017.

This park space was nothing but a mowed patch of land before Great Rivers Greenway constructed the amazing ~1 mile Christy Greenway that runs through the park.  This is a series of paved bike/pedestrian trails that are part of the larger River Des Peres Greenway...

The Boulevard Heights Neighborhood

The Boulevard Heights Neighborhood

The neighborhood has some areas that are typical of South City, a la Holly Hills, Princeton Heights, Southampton, etc.  Other parts of the neighborhood are more suburban with cul-de-sacs and no sidewalks, etc. Overall, the edge of the city that gives you a distinct feel of the Southside, with a taste of what South County becomes.
