About Love Park
The Love family began to donate parcels of land to St. Louis County in 1959. The final donation provided that 15 acres of the park remain in a natural condition. The park has some recreational activities including two shelters, a playground, and athletic field. Grand Glaize Creek flows through a portion of the park. Most of the floodplain area of the creek is open and maintained as lawn while the hillsides are wooded. The park has one hiking trail.

Grand Glaize Creek ultimately flows into the Meramec River in Valley Park but not before making a stop at Simpson Lake. The creek does have numerous species of fish and other water critters but suffers like all of the urban creeks from storm surges. It is these times of intense precipitation that runoff from the parking lots, rooftops, and other impervious areas floods these small streams. Flooding is common with these storms creating bank erosion and ultimately bank collapse, From Love Park webpage
