Description

The beautifully designed low retaining wall is on the south side of the Ruth Park Golf Course in University City, MO. The design is of horizontal rock flagstones interrupted by several rows of vertical rocks periodically. There are few places where it is not in excellent condition, one at a tree which is much larger than when the wall was originally built.
