What To Expect

This 1.9 acre park was named in honor of Harry J. Kiener, an olympic athlete who was born in St. Louis. Kiener competed in the 1904 St. Louis Olympic games, as part of the U.S. track and field team. Later in life, Kiener became a steel executive and a philanthropist. In his will, he donated this land to be used as a public plaza. Today, you can find statues, fountains, a playground and plenty of seating from which to admire the city skyline.
