We have the most active downtown entertainment and restaurant district in the St. Louis region. Cities in this region are always looking to duplicate our success. We are next to the County government seat and Washington University. Many professors and students call University City home. We are a city of parks and civic pride.
University City has the most parks acreage per mile and residents.
Exceptional parks and recreation facilities from our municipal golf course to the fitness center to indoor soccer facilities are just a number of our parks amenities. U City in Bloom is a citizen directed and run program which provides the entire University City area with beautiful gardens and plantings. These brilliant splashes of color and life, which can be found in many areas of the city, have become the city's new image. Along with being a Tree City USA, we are also the flower city of the area. University City is the crossroads for local transportation.
