O'Fallon Park

Dedicated to Colonel John O'Fallon, a veteran of the War of 1812 and an assistant Indian agent to his uncle, William Clark, this Park was opened up in 1876.

The 126- acre park is home to five acres of fishing waters, a boathouse, four comfort stations, several picnic shelters, a playground, softball fields, barbecue areas, tennis courts, a basketball court and a small pool. It serves as a meeting ground for reunions, school outings and individual events.

The O'Fallon Park/West Florissant Residential Parking District" means the area beginning at the southeast corner of Pope Avenue at its intersection with West Florissant.

It had been a part of a vast 600- acre land holding of Colonel John O'Fallon, who came to St. Louis after being severely wounded at the Battle of Tippecanoe in the War of 1812. He was an assistant to his uncle William Clark, the "Clark" of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, then Indian agent for St. Louis.
