• Kiener Plaza Park - This 1.9-acre park is named in honor of Harry J. Kiener, an Olympic athlete born in St. Louis. Kiener participated in the 1904 St. Louis Olympic Games as part of the U.S. track and field team. Later, he became a steel executive and philanthropist. In his will, he donated this land to be used as a public plaza. Today, visitors can enjoy statues, fountains, a playground, and ample seating to admire the city skyline.
• Old Courthouse - The Old Courthouse in St. Louis has undergone numerous transformations. Originally constructed in 1828, it was expanded in 1839 and has been redesigned and remodeled several times since. The courthouse is linked to two landmark cases that reached the US Supreme Court, and a National Park museum inside details the history and legacy of these cases.
• Dred And Harriet Scott Statue - The Dred and Harriet Scott Statue on the east side of the courthouse honors the Scotts’ fight for freedom in the US courts. Although ultimately unsuccessful, their struggle directly led to the United States Civil War.
• Luther Ely Smith Square - Luther Ely Smith Square marks the beginning of the St. Louis Gateway Mall, a series of parks and green spaces running through downtown St. Louis. The park commemorates Luther Ely Smith, the father of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, the predecessor of Gateway Arch National Park. The park is also the start of the Gateway Arch Trail, which winds through the National Park. There are two beautiful zen gardens in this park for shade and relaxation.
• Museum of Westward Expansion - The Gateway Arch Museum of Western Expansion is one of the finest National Park museums in the country. It boasts an incredible collection of artifacts, as well as fun and interactive exhibits.

There are about 26 different plant species in the garden, and another five types of wild grass in the surrounding Native Meadow.
