Tower Grove Park was given as a gift to the City of Saint Louis by Henry Shaw in 1868. It is adjacent to the Missouri Botanical Garden, another of Shaw’s legacies.

The park features eleven Pavilions to provide shady rests from which visitors can enjoy the many lovely views. Many events, from picnics, to weddings are held in the park.

The park features nearly 400 hundred species of trees and bushes. The park's area is 289 acres (1.2 km²).
