McNair Park, St. Charles



Location: 3100 Droste Rd., St. Charles, MO 63301

Website: http://www.stcharlesparks.com/park/mcnair-park/


Playground Ground Cover: Wood chips and rubber mats

There are 2 playgrounds in this park, one in each section of the park. McNair is divided into two sections by a creek and a surrounding woodland area. The smaller section north of the creek is the “Day Camp” area of the park, and the larger south section is the “Main Area.” Both sides provide a mix of passive and active recreation and area connection by the park's internal loop trail system which also connects the park to surrounding neighborhoods.

The Main Area (east) amenities located in this section of the park include four ball fields with seasonal overlay football, the pool, three tennis courts, concessions, a playground, several large open lawn areas and restrooms. A unique amenity to McNair Park is the Braille Trail and garden located at the southwest corner of the park.

The Day Camp Area (west) amenities include a large shelter with concessions and restrooms, two ball fields with seasonal soccer overlays, one soccer field, four tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, a playground, and two smaller shelters around the playground.

The pool is open daily from 12-6pm. Non resident rates are $4 adults and $3 for kids. Kids under 3 are free. These are very reasonable rates. The pool is older but still in decent condition. This is the smallest of all the St. Charles pools, with Blanchette in the middle and Wapelhorst as the largest. McNair was built in 1992 and it has one waterslide, a mushroom fountain, an otter slide, a small water playground, and a lily pad crossing activity.
