Chicken N Pickle is a unique entertainment complex that combines a casual restaurant and sports bar with pickleball courts, yard games, and event space. It's designed as a family-friendly destination with indoor and outdoor areas for dining, socializing, and playing.

Chicken N Pickle offers a casual dining experience with a menu featuring wood-fired rotisserie chicken, pulled pork, grass-fed beef sandwiches, creative salads, and hand-cut fries. You can order at the counter or from a server, and your order is tracked via a GPS-enabled tent that allows staff to deliver food and drinks to your table, no matter where you are in the complex.

The complex has multiple indoor and outdoor pickleball courts available for rent. You can book courts online or in person, and they offer lessons for all skill levels. Pickleball is played with a wiffle ball and paddles, following specific rules about serving, returning, and volleying.

Beyond pickleball, Chicken N Pickle offers a variety of yard games like cornhole, giant Jenga, Connect Four, Battleship and tabletop tennis. These games are available for guests to enjoy while waiting for a pickleball court or simply to have fun.

Playground Ground Cover: Poured Rubber

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.

Lots of covered tables around with charging stations!

Storybook walk

Wheelchair accessible merry-go-round

Rolly slide

Spring airplane

This map provides an overhead view of the playground, indicating the age range for which each area is suitable.

 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.
