Central Park in Chesterfield has a very large playground with areas for all ages. The park also has an aquatic center, an outdoor amphitheater,  a lake, and a creek. The playground was replaced in mid-2025.

A huge parking lot is here, and the playground is next to the aquatic center.

We love the shade structures as this playground is in full sun. 

Gravity rail swing/zipline

There is 1 expression swing and 3 sling swings

This thing spins around, and the metal beads move as you turn it.

Rocking boat

Lots of covered tables around with charging stations!

Storybook walk

Wheelchair accessible merry-go-round

Rolly slide

Spring airplane

This map shows an overhead view of the playground and what ages the equipment is for in each area.

 Restroom building

There are 2 covered pavilions- one at each end of the playground.

Right across from this park is the sculpture The Awakening—Buried Giant. This statue consists of five pieces depicting a man trying to free himself from the earth. It's really cool for photo ops.

The creek is down the hill from the playground, and there's a storybook walk along the way.
