Wild Acres Park

Wild Acres Park:
Wild Acres Park in Overland, MO, is a hidden gem that boasts stunning natural beauty. On a sunny and clear day, I had the chance to take my drone up and capture some incredible aerial views of the park. From above, the lush greenery, winding trails, and serene lake came into view, offering a unique perspective on this natural oasis.
As I watched the footage later, I was struck by the park's tranquil beauty and the sense of peace it exudes. The gentle breeze ruffling the leaves, the shimmering water of the lake, and the sight of anglers fishing in the lake all brought a smile to my face. Therefore, I made a YouTube video to share.

Great park for walking. The trail has hills and is a decent size. The view is beautiful.

Took my daughter here at the end of our field trip to relax and enjoy moments of mindfulness. We did some core exercises and a little walking as well. Nice experience.

Are you looking for a fresh air? I recommend you Wild Acres Park . I like this place specially for peace and power of nature. With its wonderful lake, I enjoy to see fish, ducks and other birds.

A great, tranquil park with a fishing pond and walking path.

Not a super busy park, which gives it the perfect spot to sit and relax!

This was a very pretty little park with a nice walking trail and a lovely pond. It was about 20 minutes walk all the way around.

Nice park I was actually married there in 2015. Venue nice too had bingo night there for my kids school. Nice spacious place

I love this park, I've been coming here since I was a kid.

Wild acres is amazing for trout but it’s catch and release until February me and my friend went There and caught 3 big trout

Lots of friendly people and people of different ages. Families come out to enjoy themselves. Very spacious. They do have a parking lot as well as a bike securement location.

Great Park for walking and getting fresh air and beautiful views

A quiet place to sit, walk, fish or take in the history architecture of this former Seminary.

My husband and I had a great time walking around this park. There were places to sit, and facilities if you needed them.

A very nice, quiet park with geese and ducks around. Seems like a nice place for friendly get-togethers. Also there is a paved walking/running path. Some people like to fish in the lake. At a certain time of the year, you can even see newly hatched goslings running around.

Cute park. I visited in September. I liked the paved loop people can walk around. There were several nice benches. I was actually surprised that I saw some deer break though the trees around dusk, considering that there is a lot of STL businesses and highway, surrounding this park. Nice place.

It's a lovely little escape from the busy streets around. I enjoy coming here for lunch during the workday.

Historical country estate called as today Wild Acres in early 1900s. Best remembered as a former seminary established in 1944. Now a park. Difficult entry other than that will worth the effort. Lake and pathways among trees make a wonderful visit.

I was in Wild Acres Park today because I was concluding my day of work manning the election polls which was housed in the parish hall. I was hoping to enjoy the space before the park closing time. The Park Ranger prematurely admonished me about the No Bikes allowed rule. I was aware inasmuch I was puttng my bike away onto the flatbed of a truck as we engaged.

Last winter when we actually had cold weather the lake froze over, best trout fishing year there ever! We took our auger down drilled through the ice, almost 10 inches thick. We caught somewhere between 45-50 trout using a colored jig with a little minnow and red roseys!! No trout under 10 inches. Workers seen us and told us we shouldn't be on the ice, showed them it was every bit over 10 inches thick. 20 min later overland police where there. They watched us for about 10 min catch about 6-7 nice trout, laughing saying "that's amazing" we showed them how thick the ice was but they say sorry guys it's not us. Then then looked at each other and told us, " try to wrap it up in an hour or so guys. Thanks overland police, they were pretty awesome that day with us. Anyone who likes catching them in the ice you can go to bush wildlife and other places. It is a sport wildacres. People just have to be safe, smart, just like in the spring, summer, and fall as well.
