We have planned another great year of events and programs in Chesterfield for 2016! Music lovers will enjoy the great line-up of musicians at our free Sounds of Summer Concert Series and Art & Orchestra Music Series. Families will delight in summer evenings watching all the great movies underneath a blanket of stars at the Chesterfield Amphitheater. Older adults can meet new friends on the pickleball court or at our Senior Sizzler events. The fields at the Chesterfield Valley Athletic Complex will be busy hosting league play and tournaments all season long and the Chesterfield Family Aquatic Center is the place to be this summer with water slides and a competition pool that makes the hottest summer day feel like a vacation. 2015 was a big year for us in terms of expansion. We opened our newest park, River’s Edge, in April and offered canoeing, paddle boarding and kayaking classes suited for all of the active outdoor enthusiasts. We also added Arts to the Division in an effort to make art accessible to the community so that the public may expand its experience, awareness, sensitivity, enjoyment and understanding of art. Our three new sculptures, Yue Ling Chen, Large Bather III and the Coyote, help to establish our City as a showcase for public art. Check out our app for details on the sculptures. Our maintenance staff is hard at work to keep our parks beautiful; please take a moment to appreciate their efforts. It’s important for us to offer programs and events suited for all members of our community. We offer healthy athletic programs for all ages and a wide variety of activities. We encourage our residents and visitors to download our app to receive up-to-date information on our events, programs and weather-related notifications. With three state-of-the-art facilities, over 488.5 acres of park land and 23 miles of running, walking and biking trail routes, Chesterfield has become a prime location for entertainment, recreation, art and leisure. If you have a minute, I would love to hear how we can make your visit or participation in any Parks, Recreation & Arts programs more enjoyable. We look forward to seeing you out and about enjoying our parks, events and recreation facilities, public sculptures and programs with family and friends.

The City of Chesterfield purchased this 18-acre site from the Eberwein family several years ago for the purposes of developing a community park. This park is named after the Eberwein family who first settled in Chesterfield over 100 years ago. The Eberwein family used this land as a farm and their residence up until the time of purchase by the City. To preserve the history, character, and charm of the site, the Eberwein Park was designed as a passive community park with a farm-like theme. To accomplish this, the existing large red barn, which was originally constructed in the early 1900s, has been preserved.
ART IN THE PARK “The Coyote” is a life-size bronze sculpture depicting a coyote standing in heightened awareness of his surroundings. Harry Weber created the sculpture as part of a large diorama with the famous Lewis and Clark sculpture depicting their journey across the river as the coyote watches with full attention. For details about our public art, visit chesterfield.mo.us/ art-in-the-park.html.

NATIVE PRAIRIE GARDEN Eberwein Park has an interactive native prairie that provides quality habitat and food sources for local wildlife, especially our pollinators. The Chesterfield Parks, Recreation & Arts Division received a Community Stewardship Grant through the Missouri Department of Conservation to create the prairie that will also incorporate walking paths throughout, and provide opportunities for learning about the plants, animals, and insects that share our parks.

FEES & CHARGES POLICY The City of Chesterfield Parks, Recreation & Arts Division prides itself on providing a wide variety of recreational services to its citizens. The Division recognizes its responsibility to provide recreational opportunities that contribute toward the quality of life in Chesterfield. Realizing that tax dollars alone should not subsidize programs and facilities, fees and charges have been established to help offset existing costs. The prime objective of these guidelines is to develop a policy to efficiently direct our Division toward a more consistent and effective method of establishing fees and charges while, at the same time, maintaining a high degree of equity for Chesterfield citizens.
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES The Chesterfield Parks, Recreation & Arts Division hosts a variety of events and recreational programs throughout the year, bringing a community of all ages together. We offer promotional incentives to our sponsors to help promote their business in appreciation for their support. As an event sponsor, your organization will receive visibility through a variety of marketing, advertising, signage and/or media coverage. Sponsorship opportunities are limited in number, therefore, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your sponsorship as soon as possible to ensure you receive the sponsorship level of your choice that fits your needs best.
