Norton Park
Project Overview:
Norton Park improvements are based on recommendations made by the City Council approved St. Louis River Corridor Neighborhood Parks Mini Master Plans, passed in June 2016. Norton Park is a three acre neighborhood park in the Norton Park Neighborhood northwest of Grand Avenue.
Norton Park is one of eleven parks along the St. Louis River Corridor that was identified as part of the larger St. Louis River Corridor Initiative. In 2014, the St. Louis River Corridor Initiative was funded through a 0.5% tax on food and beverage and a 0.5% tax on lodging (Half-and-Half tax). Planning efforts for the Initiative included completing plans for Norton Park and other neighborhood parks within the Corridor. These previous efforts resulted in the St. Louis River Corridor Parks Mini-Master Plans, which were adopted in June of 2016.
We are excited to see improvements at Norton Park come to fruition after many years of patience.
Project Update:
The building was removed in 2025, and park improvements will be implemented in 2026.
