Chicken N Pickle, St. Charles

Location: 1500 S. Main St., St. Charles, MO 63303

Website: https://chickennpickle.com/location/st-charles/

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.
 
 

Love this huge Battleship game!









So many places to sit and chat


















During the winter, they turned part of the complex into an ice rink!

  • multi-use fields
  • Off-street parking
  • picnic tables

This park houses the community center (Five Oaks). They tore down the old one and rebuilt the new one, which opened in late 2023. The general public can use it for a daily fee if they aren't members. 





A large bench for parents to sit and watch their kids.


They have free wifi and coffee too!



Cute tent and building materials for imaginative play.


Art center for crafting, plus books galore. 


I hear the slide is fast, so beware!




A splash pad was added in 2025. It's smallish but a nice addition to the park.  There are 4 sections of pop jets, and one will spray for 10 seconds, then the next section sprays for 10 seconds, and it rotates all around. 








The play structure is older and has slides, a rock wall, a tic-tac-toe board, a bridge, and floating steps.



There are 2 sling swings and 2 baby swings in this area, and more swings down the hill.






6 sling swings 







The playground and splash pad are on the other side of the park from the community center. You can see the center circled in red at the top of the map, and this playground is at the bottom right, circled in red. It doesn't appear to be easy to walk to.
