Waynesville Community Park (MWR Rec Plex) 1

Even though this park is a 10-15 minute drive from the Main Gate, it’s definitely worth the drive! Located behind Pulaski County Courthouse, 301 Rte 66, Waynesville, MO 65583. There are two separate playgrounds for younger and older children, plus a completely free splash pad. If park time is a chance for you to relax like it is for me, there are plenty of tables and benches in the shade around the perimeter of the playgrounds. You can also find walking trails along the river if taking in nature is your thing. On Saturdays during the summer, Waynesville Community Park hosts farmers markets where you can find fresh fruits, vegetables, egg, and baked goods, among other items for sale.
