Fenton Park has a 1.4 mile paved loop with a 1 mile paved extension. It is almost entirely flat and runs between soccer and baseball fields and along the Meramec River. The path can be very busy on summer evenings, but it is a easy and safe place to run.
From I-44, exit at Bowles Ave. and go west on South Highway Drive. South Highway Drive will dead-end at Yarnell Road. Turn right on Yarnell Road. The main entrance to Fenton Park is about 1 mile down Yarnell on the right. The entrance to the park is just past Larkin Williams Road.
From Gravois Road, turn left on connector road and then an immediate right onto Old Gravois Road. Take Old Gravois down the hill and across an old bridge. (2-3 miles) Once you cross the old bridge, make a right onto Water Street. You will pass through two stop signs. There is a parking lot under a highway bridge on your right, or you can drive one more mile to park in the main parking lot for Fenton Park.
