Lindenwood Park - the namesake of the neighborhood - is located in the center of the neighborhood bounded by Jamieson on the west, Pernod on the north, Lindenwood on the south and Prather on the east. Lindenwood Park and playground covers 14.08 acres and was purchased by the city in 1947 for $81,000. It is heavily used for organized sporting events, especially soccer and summer softball. The peripheral sidewalk is a favorite for strollers and dog walkers. In addition to Lindenwood Park, Tilles, Francis and River Des Peres Parks are located near the neighborhood and are easily accessible either with a moderate walk or short car ride.
