I frequently drive or ride by a “park” on Baumgartner Rd. in Oakville, Missouri. There’s a sign out front, naming it St. Louis County Classe Park. There’s a crumbling asphalt drive that is gated, and as far as I can tell, there’s no other way in. What is it?
The St. Louis County Parks & Attractions page says nothing about it, except for a dot on the map, which reveals this information: “Undeveloped, Land Bank”. Property viewers show a small block of land. Aerial photos show that it is wooded, but there seems to be a small area of mowed grass.
The sign lists hours, so presumably it is open to the public. I could probably park my car in front of the gate. Or I could ride there.
