Don Robinson State Park is a state park consisting of 843 acres (341 ha) in Jefferson County, Missouri. The land for the park was bequeathed to the state by businessman Don Robinson following his death in 2012. Robinson started acquiring the land in the 1960s and stopped when he realized his ambition of amassing a holding the same size as New York City's Central Park. The park opened to the public for day use in January, 2017.
