The Commons Playground, Chesterfield

Location: 14885 Clayton Rd., Chesterfield, MO 63017

Website: https://cpccommons.org/

Playground Ground Cover: Wood chips

In the summer of 2021, Chesterfield Presbyterian Church (www.chespres.org) purchased the old Gold’s Gym just a half mile east of the church. We dreamed of turning this 37,000-square-foot building and 400 parking spaces on four acres into a gathering place for our community.

We are excited to have a variety of large and small spaces for meetings, events, and sporting activities.

All are welcome at The Commons! Our coffeehouse is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Come and read, hang out, or study in a beautiful place—it's open to everyone and free.

In 2024 they added a beautiful outdoor playground that is free and open to the public, and it's fully enclosed with a fence and gate.

Playground Ground Cover: Wood Chips & poured rubber

There are 2 playgrounds here. The first is visible from New Florissant Rd and the second is behind the library. From their website:

"Bangert’s long-time signature feature is a Sherman tank that can be seen from Florissant Rd. Bangert is the oldest park in Florissant covering 13 acres. Its amenities include a competition-style outdoor swimming pool with a concession stand, 2 pavilions with electricity and playgrounds available for rent, pickleball courts, a sand volleyball court, and newly renovated horseshoe courts. Bangert is a great park for gatherings, family outings, and exercise and a perfect spot for those warm summer days with trees and the pool to keep you cool."

 

My kids loved the tank! There was sand all around it, which they also enjoyed. The playground is small, it has a xylophone, 2 baby swings, 2 sling swings, an ADA swing, several slides, and a tunnel.  

You can see the sand volleyball court behind the swings. There is an ADA swing, and 2 sling swings.

Horseshoes

There are 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings
