Rock wall




The small play structure has a couple slides, a small bridge, a bubble window, steering wheel and tic tac toe board.



Speaker with a batting cage in the background









The large play structure has a chain climber, rock wall, stepping stones, slides, pretend windows, and tons of bars and poles. It looks like a giant tree house with a nature theme.


The poured rubber is missing in some spots and could use some repairs. 





Monkey bars are always a hit


The entrance to the Progress Park Pool is next to the playground.




There is a separate rectangular kiddie pool next to the big pool. Here are the amenities:
  • Baby Pool

  • Diving Boards

  • Lap Lanes

There is a small green tube slide and another larger tube slide for kids over 48".


This pool is rather plain, it's just a rectangle with 2 slides. 



They do have a diving board. 




The Splash Station Aquatic Center is also in Wentzville if you are looking for a pool with more amenities.

This pool is super cool and they also have a tot time. It's every Monday and Wednesday from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. They charge the regular daily rate. You can reenter at noon when the pool opens to the public. The daily rate for non members is $7.50 for kids and $8.50 for adults and the pool is open 12-6:30 during the week and 11-7 on the weekends. This pool was built in 2014 but it still feels new and is very clean. There were also lots of umbrellas, which I always appreciate.


The lazy river requires tubes and there is a splash pad at the entrance





The zero entry kid area has pop jets and fountains as well as a basketball hoop.




This playground was so fun! There were lots of slides that my daughter enjoyed.







This is the dive tank, it has a high dive and a regular diving board, and the 2 story slide is next to it. 





Must be 48" to go down the two story tube slide










Concessions area
