It's summer in St. Louis and we are starting to see more sunshine, heat and humidity. When it's hot outside, you can help your kids keep cool at the spray fountain at Tilles Park in Ladue. If you've never been, it's a really nice place for younger kids to play on a summer day. The fountain play area has more than a dozen bubblers for kids to run through. There's plenty of room, but it's small enough to keep a good eye on your children. The fountain is part of a larger, all-inclusive playground built by St. Louis Children's Hospital.
The fountain is open daily starting at 10 a.m., from Memorial Day to Labor Day at Tilles Park in Ladue. The entrance to the park is located near the intersection of McKnight and Litzsinger Roads.
