When you’ve got little kids and you are looking to save money, playgrounds can be a great source of entertainment. My kids probably go to 2-3 playgrounds a week (if it’s not so hot outside), all over the metro area (so they don’t get bored). So I get excited when I hear of a new one opening.

The Tot Lot Park in St. Peters opened earlier this week. Originally built in 1971 by the Lion’s Club, it was closed a couple of years ago due to street construction. Now it’s back with fancy new play equipment, a rubberized surface area and a basketball court.

Find it at 259 Bellemeade, St. Peters.
