I’ve been here twice now, both for free concerts at the pavilion. This place is great! I couldn’t believe I was in Chesterfield! Nice manicured terraced lawn and covered seats down front for concerts. Beer runs about $ 5 a bottle and the bathrooms are clean. Nice photo ops for the evening shows that feature gorgeous sunsets in the background. I can’t wait to explore the rest of the park. It looks like there is a walking trail that is partially wooded. May need to test the running shoes here!

My sanctuary! This park is absolutely beautiful. Not too big where you’d get lost inside but big enough to spread out and enjoy a tranquil seat on an isolated park bench overlooking the waterfront, walk the 1 mile trail, jog the amphitheater stairs, bring your kids for a joyful time in the designated full playground area, have a gathering under the covered picnic table area or go fishing in the attached pond. The restrooms are the cleanest I’ve ever experienced in a public park. The one’s up top are usually unlocked all day but the lower level restrooms are typically locked for some reason. So if you have to use it be prepared for light travel depending on your current location within the park. Across the street is the monument of a man apart; arm, foot, leg, head made of stone. It’s amazing and makes a pretty dope photo-op. Kids love to climb on this thing.

This park is definitely underrated! This place has everything that kids or even adults might need. Recently it hosted the Taste of St Louis. Which was a honor to be honest for a place like chesterfield. They do host regular concerts in their amphitheater. Opposite to it is the famous dying man statue(or whatever it is called) The part features a nice mile or less long loop, very good for walkers/joggers. It’s asphalt so easy to get those baby strollers. Beautiful fountain and small bridges do make it a nice place for a photoshoot. I do see people come here with photographers. Btw, if you are lucky enough you will encounter a deer. And if you are not that lucky you will definitely see the geese! Watch out, they might bite :-)

The Awakening sculpture is riveting. A best-spot to take out of town guests in St Louis!

My niece loves this place. The park is located of Lydia Hill, and houses the Chesterfield Amphitheater, the Chesterfield Family Aquatic Center, the Chesterfield Pavilion, the Chesterfield Gazebo, as well as a hiking trail and lake. In addition, it is home to The Awakening, you know the cool art work with the hands and face coming out of the ground that we all climb on. The park was a play area geared for 2 – 5 year old as well as 5 – 12 year old. It is doggie friendly and they have baggies so that owners can go for walks and take care of Fido’s business at the same time. The paths are awesome and my daredevil nephew loves to ride his bike on them and all paths loop around the lake. :) Kudos to Chesterfield.

You can’t go wrong here. They have one of the coolest sculptures to be found anywhere(that is anywhere in the USA), a very nice playground for the younger set and other areas to enjoy and relax with. Conveniently located directly behind Chesterfield Mall.

Central Park is a nice place to relax. There are paths and a playground, but my favorite thing is the big art. The Chesterfield Aquatic Center and the new amphitheater are also in this park.

They just opened a new amphitheater in Central Park. My husband and I went to opening nght when Edwin McCain was playing. It was a really nice evening. The amphitheater and grounds were very nice. I’d like to say nicely kept, but can you really say that on opening night? The concessions and restrooms are a convenient touch.
