Playground Ground Cover: Wood chips and rubber mats
There are 2 playgrounds in this park, one in each section of the park. McNair is divided into two sections by a creek and a surrounding woodland area. The smaller section north of the creek is the
“Day Camp” area of the park, and the larger south section is the “Main
Area.” Both sides provide a mix of passive and active recreation and
area connection by the park's internal loop trail system which also
connects the park to surrounding neighborhoods.
The Main Area (east) amenities located in this
section of the park include four ball fields with seasonal overlay
football, the pool, three tennis courts, concessions, a playground, several large
open lawn areas and restrooms. A unique amenity to McNair Park is the
Braille Trail and garden located at the southwest corner of the park.
The Day Camp Area (west) amenities include a large shelter with concessions and restrooms, two
ball fields with seasonal soccer overlays, one soccer field, four tennis
courts, a sand volleyball court, a playground, and two smaller shelters
around the playground.
This playground is the Day Camp Area (west) playground.

The pool is open daily from 12-6pm. Non resident rates are $4 adults and $3 for kids. Kids under 3 are free. These are very reasonable rates. The pool is older but still in decent condition. This is the smallest of all the St. Charles pools, with Blanchette in the middle and Wapelhorst as the largest. McNair was built in 1992 and it has one waterslide, a mushroom fountain, an otter slide, a small water playground, and a lily pad crossing activity.
