Description
The grounds at the Gateway Arch provide a beautiful urban oasis tucked beneath St. Louis’ greatest monument. But look a little closer and realize there’s more to the area than riverside views and immaculate landscaping. This park is pretty and smart—environmentally smart, that is. Over the years the National Park Service and its partners have worked to combine thoughtful design and ecological expertise to create a park as sustainable as it is good-looking. Join national park staff on a tour of the park’s grounds.
