Located at the northeast corner of Shaw Park at Forsyth and South Brentwood, this area hosts a magnificent plaza with an infinity fountain, benches, pergola and more. The lovely Plaza opens onto a walkway that descends along a cascading waterfall and colorful garden beds into the park, ultimately leading to a tranquil pavilion that overlooks the skyline of Clayton.

The new Downtown pocket park on Maryland Avenue opened on the evening before Juneteenth (2025). Located along the city's arterial road and new bike lanes, the vacant lot was transformed by SWT Design into a place of rest and reflection. Clayton’s 12th public park includes the City's first living green wall, a waterfall feature, seating, bike repair station and native landscaping. The Mid-County Library next door provides access to free public WiFi, and acts as a "literacy destination” and green space for future programming. The Saint Louis Chess Club will host free chess engagements in coming months and visitors will have access to free play daily. Plaques will soon be installed, in reference to the name "Remembrance Park" to honor those omitted from Clayton's history. The process will be led by a city committee with representatives from CCF History, Mayor's Commemorative Landscape Task Force, Community Equity Commission, and others.

The Clayton’s Neighborhoods Series is a historic look at multiple neighborhoods designed by nationally known architects in the early 1900s. The CCF History Committee teamed with Cordell Whitlock, award-winning former KSDK television reporter, and Peter Foggy, videographer to produce video episodes of neighborhoods within the City of Clayton. Esley Hamilton stars in the series, who served for nearly 40 years as the St. Louis County Parks and Recreation Preservation Historian. Hamilton has been called “irreplaceable” and “encyclopedic,” and received one of four nationwide preservation awards from the Secretary of the Interior. Watch all episodes on CCF's YouTube Channel.
