This is one of the cake locations that I skipped for no reason - other than that it was surrounded by other cakes and by the end of the day, yeah I forgot about Tower Grove! Nearly two months after I got the cakes at the MoBot Gardens and Jay International, I finally got this cake at one of St. Louis' iconic parks.
- Park was first authorized under state law in 1867, and opened in 1868.
- Most of the park was land donated by Henry Shaw, as a gift.
- Once a month, there is 'Food Truck Friday' when some of the most popular local eateries sell their goods on the southern part of the park (sponsored by Sauce magazine)
- The park consists of activity areas such as children's wading pool, six corkball fields, ten softball fields and six soccer fields.
- Several pavilions and picnic sites also highlight Tower Grove Park, some having a unique theme and architectrue
- Carriage rides are also available as well, since the park committee has been about restoring the park's past. Reservations are required.
- As expected, several special events are held here, along with weddings
I took several pictures all around Tower Grove. Wish I can share them all on here, but I decided to break it down to a few:

| Lily pond |
 |
| Piper Palm building |
 |
| Bandstand |
 |
| Alexander von Humboldt statue |
 |
| Turkish Pavilion |
