Missouri Parks And Recreation Association.

The nature park is located between the Possum Woods Conservation Area, a 14-acre tract, and the Emmenegger Nature Park Staging Area, also a 14-acre tract located at 11991 Stoneywood. Kirkwood Parks Department and Missouri Department of Conservation worked together to develop the park. Russell E. Emmenegger park includes 1.5 miles of trails frequented by hikers and nature lovers, part of which is a .5-mile accessible, paved trail. Disabled parking and year-round restroom facilities are available at the trailhead, located near the Staging Area, where a bridge connects the Russell E. Emmenegger Staging Area to the park. Emmenegger Nature Park provides visitors with picnicing opportunities, peaceful nature walks, and a sheltered area. A variety of nature programs are led in the park by Powder Valley Nature Center staff.
