About

Poelker Park is a small, historic spot in downtown St. Louis that serves as a nice backdrop for events. While some appreciate the horticulture and the firefighter monument, others feel it is more of a transit point than a destination. Safety and the presence of homeless individuals are recurring themes in reviews. It is best enjoyed as part of a larger walk through the city's park chain.
