Explore the Riparian Trail and Monarch-Chesterfield
Levee Trail
Have you ever walked the City’s Riparian Trail? The City of Chesterfield Riparian Trail extends from Lydia Hill Drive to Old Chesterfield Road. Phase one—constructed in 2011—starts near the Aquatic Center parking lot and winds through woods adjacent to Chesterfield Creek on the south side of Lydia Hill Drive. Phase two begins at the Lydia Hill and August Hill crosswalk and extends north through Central Park, eventually crossing Wild Horse Creek Road and terminating at Old Chesterfield Road. If you are looking for a fun walking experience, you are encouraged to check out the Riparian Trail. There is a parking lot at both ends of the trail for residents’ parking convenience.

If you’d like to explore some more, how about the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee Trail? The City of Chesterfield maintains 10.5 miles of trail on top of the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee. Additionally, the City is working to acquire rights to the missing 1.5-mile section of trail from I-64 to Top Golf. Once that last section is completed, the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee Trail will consist of a full 12-mile trail.
An interesting fact is that both the Riparian Trail and the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee were funded by grants and the Chesterfield Valley Transportation Development District—no City funds were used to construct either amenity!
Streetlight Upkeep Under Ameren Missouri
The City of Chesterfield includes 183 miles of public streets. The majority of these streets contain streetlights funded by subdivisions and maintained by Ameren Missouri. Streetlight outages can be reported directly to Ameren by calling 1.800.552.7583. When reporting a light problem or outage, you will need the specific address and the streetlight number located on the light.
If a light is not maintained by Ameren—or if you encounter problems when trying to get a streetlight repaired—please contact the City of Chesterfield at 636.537.4000, or use the ‘Report a Problem’ portal on the City’s website at www.chesterfield.mo.us/report-a-problem.html
