This park has recently expanded over the summer of 2022. What used to be the field between both Glazebrook and Godfrey Ball Park now sits two pickleball courts, an exercise playground, a splash pad and a huge parking lot. Specifically, pickleball courts have become super popular. Karla Anderson, from Godfrey, has been playing at the new courts “It’s a sport I’ve always wanted to try and I was so excited that it was here at Glazebrook, I love it.” Anderson said.

Glazebrook Park is not the only park included in the “Godfrey Park and Recreation” system.  The Homer Adams Park on Godfrey Road has three rentable shelters and a playground. There is also Clifton Terrace, located on the scenic byway along the Mississippi River. 

This park offers a playground, a bike trail and a great spot for eagle-watching in the winter months. Lastly, is Lavista Park on West Delmar and it includes an 18-hole disc golf course and hiking trails. The Godfrey Parks are continuing to expand and are great places to visit.
