This 7.73-acre unique outdoor recreational area features 13 large (54' concrete pad) and five small (34' concrete pad) campsites with electric hookups, a dump station for RV sanitary lines, a free boat ramp for access to the Mississippi River, and an open play area with a scenic overlook plaza and parking for 59 boat trailers.

Electric campsites are $25 per night, per site with a two-night minimum. Each site has a 6-person capacity.

Riverside Landing is an access point on the newly opened Dardenne Creek Blueway, the first of a 5 Phase Plan for St. Charles County. Adventure out on the 3.5-mile trip! Start at Riverside Landing in St. Charles and end up at 370 Lakeside Park in St. Peters. Please Note: All water at this park is non-potable and cannot be used for consumption. Campers must bring their own drinking water.

The playground is on wood mulch, and in full sun, but there are some shade screens. They have port-a-pottys since it's a new park, I imagine they will build some in the future. 

There are 2 play structures, one for little guys and one for kids over 5. The smaller one has a ramp, some steppers, a little window, and slides. 

Modified merry-go-round

Baby swing and 4 sling swings

The larger play structure has webbed climbers, slides, netting, and a sling ramp.

Fox Hill Park, St. Charles

Location: 3400 Kisker Dr, St. Charles, MO 63301

Website: http://www.stcharlesparks.com/park/fox-hill-park/

Playground Ground Cover:  Rubber mats

Fox Hill Park is divided into two main sections linked by a paved loop trail. One part consists of an open native landscape area with a loop trail around two interconnected lakes and also along this trail is a story walk. The north area of the park includes a playground, half basketball court, two small shelters, a restroom, and a ball field.

The playground was replaced in 2022. I didn't think the old one was bad but the new one is definitely nice! 

This is the smaller structure for little guys, it has a slide, 2 steppers, and some monkey bars. 

I like this ramp with a monkey and elephant imprint on it.

The larger play structure has several slides, modified rock walls, steering wheels, a bouncer step, and tons of bars and poles for climbing. 

There is one baby swing, 1 ADA swing, one modified expression swing, and 2 sling swings.
