Playground Ground Cover: Wood Chips & Poured Rubber

The Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex, formerly known as Chesterfield Valley Athletic Complex (CVAC), is a premier 176-acre sports and recreation facility in Chesterfield, Missouri, designed to accommodate athletes and families of all abilities. Featuring 21 ball diamonds, including the inclusive Catch 22 Miracle Field and 16 synthetic infields, 10 multi-purpose fields for soccer, flag football, lacrosse, and ultimate frisbee, 6 baseball/softball practice fields, 6 lighted sand volleyball courts, 4 concession buildings, 2 playgrounds, 2 entertainment plazas, and ample parking, the complex is a hub for community sports and events.

There is a large playground located right next to the main parking lot. It doesn't have any swings, but there are several slides - all different sizes- and a jungle gym climbing area. The playground was clean and in good condition. During the day, the playground is pretty empty, but it is probably packed when a sporting event is going on.

There is a second playground on the property, a bit to the West of this first one; it's shown at the end of the post. 



The playground is right behind this restroom and concession building. This is the old playground. The new playground was installed in 2024. 







Modified merry-go-round











The second playground is definitely not as nice as the first one. It's just one play structure, and it has a tunnel, a bubble window, monkey bars, and some slides. It's over by the soccer fields to the west. Next to this playground are the sand volleyball courts if your child enjoys playing in sand.

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

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.
