This 1.9 acre park, dedicated in 1962, is a connector between the Gateway Arch on the Mississippi riverfront and the Gateway Mall.
Citygarden is an urban park and sculpture garden in St. Louis, Missouri owned by the City of St. Louis but maintained by the Gateway Foundation. It is located between Eighth, Tenth, Market, and Chestnut streets, in the city's "Gateway Mall" area. Before being converted to a garden and park, the site comprised two empty blocks of grass. Citygarden was dedicated on June 30, 2009, and opened one day later, on July 1, 2009.Citygarden is 2.9acre in size—occupying two square city blocks—and cost US$30 million to develop. St. Louis' Gateway Foundation, a not-for-profit organization supporting public art, funded the design and construction of the garden. While the city owns the land on which Citygarden was developed, the foundation owns the statues and covers all park maintenance costs except water and electricity. The Gateway Foundation is also in charge of providing additional security for the garden.There is no admission fee for visitors of Citygarden, which is located close to St. Louis' Gateway Arch and Busch Stadium. The park is open year-round and complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.HistoryPublic art is not new to the Gateway Mall. In 1940, a large Carl Milles work was installed outside St. Louis Union Station. This later became one end of the mall when it was created in the 1960s, with the Gateway Arch on the other end. In 1982, Richard Serra's Twain—a sculpture comprising eight large plates of weathering steel—was installed on the 1.14acre block immediately west of Citygarden, creating Serra Sculpture Park.
Imagine a forest where almost everything around you is edible. Ripe fruit and nut trees form an open canopy. Fruits and nuts hang from many branches—pears, apples, persimmons, and pecans. Shrubs bear raspberries, blueberries, and currants fill the gaps in the canopy. Native wildflowers, wild edibles, herbs, and perennial vegetables thickly cover the ground. Most of these plants are edible, while others attract beneficial insects, birds, and butterflies. Some act as soil builders, or simply help keep out weeds. Here and there vines climb on trees and shrubs with fruit hanging through the foliage—squash, beans, peas and grapes. There is a synergy that is created as the plants are organized to support each others’ needs. This is an edible forest garden. It will inspire our community to gather together, learn together, grow our own food and rehabilitate our local ecosystem. We will be transforming a vacant LRA lot, which has become a neighborhood eyesore and illegal dumping ground, into a community space that will improve the attractiveness of the neighborhood, support native habitat and wildlife, conserve resources, and encourage healthy living and the interaction of the diverse community that is McKinley Heights. Rather than creating a fenced in, membership garden aka “community garden”, our goal is to open it up to the entire community, providing equal access to produce and all that the space has to offer. The McKinley Meadows Sustainable Neighborhood Project is made possible by a grant from the City of St. Louis, the Local Sustainability Funders Group of St. Louis, and the Funders' Network. Board of Directors: Rocco Danna, Anna Minx & Bryan Dematteis
