2006 | Best Tennis Courts

Local tennis players face obstacles including, but not limited to, humidity, crowds, dilapidated courts and high fees. Francis Park eliminates all but the humidity with its eight well-manicured free courts, at least a couple of which are usually available. They ain't fancy. They lack lights, so you can't play after dark, and the occasional ball slips through the rusty fences. But the St. Louis Hills surroundings are charming; sycamore and crab-apple trees, a baseball diamond, a bandstand and... More »
2005 | Best Public Park

The most low-key and crime-free of the city neighborhoods is St. Louis Hills, and Francis Park is its 60-acre emerald.

The park's unofficial mascot, Francine the Mermaid (inspired by the statues of the People Project), keeps a... More »
2000 | Best Place to Get Arrested

Francis Park, when it's deserted early in the morning, and the sun's shining golden, and life seems as simple and serene as the long lily-pond promenade -- until helmeted "Officer Kiwi" pedals up on his bicycle and threatens you with a $100 ticket, grim as Sgt. Friday busting a drug dealer. "That pug's off lead," he exclaims, shocked that someone with no tattoos and no priors would even consider such villainy. The law-abiding residents of St. Louis Hills sleep soundly at night because of... More »
