Bittersweet Woods Conservation Area is a 10-acre (4 ha) park located in the city of Des Peres in St. Louis County, Missouri. Positioned deep in suburban St. Louis, Bittersweet Woods offers outdoor recreational opportunities to nearby communities. The park is located on Barrett Station Road between Manchester Road and Dougherty Ferry Road.
The land was formerly owned by Jean and Joan Goodson. They donated 10 acres to the Missouri Department of Conservation in 1997, with the remaining land being used to develop subdivisions nearby.[1] Opened in 2008, the park is owned by the Missouri Department of Conservation, but leased and maintained by the city of Des Peres.[2][3]
