Webster Groves residents and visitors can enjoy nature at Lockwood Park, a five-acre space featuring a prairie garden, shortleaf pine forest, and cypress grove. The park, acquired in 1963 and located along Newport Avenue near Laclede Station Road, offers a peaceful spot for walking and relaxation, as reported by the City of Webster Groves.

The City of Webster Groves posted on Facebook that the park has a ¼-mile paved loop trail with musical instruments and climbers. The trail’s design, inspired by a spider web and spinning top, provides an interactive outdoor experience not commonly found indoors.

Lockwood Park in Webster Groves has paths that lead to a central playground. There is a small parking lot off Newport Avenue, behind The College School. According to the City of Webster Groves on their Facebook page, it is "a beautiful day for a stroll."
