This is a huge park and hosts the Renaissance Fair and St. Charles County Fair every year. I'm confused about why it's considered Foristell because it's clearly in Wentzville and under the Wentzville's Parks and Rec listing.  

 This lake is stocked with fish and many people enjoy fishing here.

Ampitheatre

The playground is just average. It has 2 baby swings and 2 sling swings. There is one play structure designed for kids aged 2-12.

The play structure has tunnels, slides, pretend storefronts, chain climbers, a steering wheel, and lots of bars and poles.

The pool is very long with the zero entry and kids playground at the south end. The pool gets deeper as you go north. The deep end has 2 diving boards and lap lanes. There is a big tube slide that you have to be 48" to go down. There is also 1 smaller slide. There is a splash pad area but it wasn't turned on when I was there.

There used to be 2 small blue slides but now there is only one. It says max 225 pounds.

The children's play structure was fun! Lots of fountains, a tunnel, sprayers, and a slide.
