Riverside Landing Park, St. Charles


    



Location: 101 Riverport Ln., St. Charles, MO 63301

Playground Ground Cover: Wood chips

Website: https://www.sccmo.org/1982/Riverside-Landing


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.

This skate park was built in 2016 and named after a skater who died tragically in a car accident. 

With the help of volunteers, donations, and grants, it became the first free legal, public skate park in the St. Louis area. Sports pioneer Tony Hawk’s foundation contributed to the project, and the superstar even made an appearance on opening day.
