The Bridgeton Municipal Athletic Complex (BMAC) is a great facility for sporting events. The playground was redone in late 2020. It's huge and has a ton of features including a modified merry-go-round, spinning seat, a rock wall, several very cool tube slides, and some unique climbing features. 

Next to the playground is this huge covered pavilion with restrooms and a concession stand. 

There are 2 sling swings, an expression swing, and an adaptive swing.

The back part of the playground is open to the ball fields, but it's fenced in by the parking lot.

Central Park in Chesterfield has a very large playground with areas for all ages. The park also has an aquatic center, an outdoor amphitheater, and a creek.

There is a huge parking lot here and the playground is right next to the aquatic center.

 I love that they have tons of seating for adults and they're all covered by huge umbrellas!

The main structure is huge and has ramps, bridges, tunnels, tic tac toe boards, maze boards, a zip line, a rock wall, and tons of bars and poles. 

They have 2 sets of swings containing an adaptive swing, sling swing, baby swing, and expression swing. 

 Restroom building

There are 2 covered pavilions- one at each end of the playground.

Right across from this park is the sculpture called The Awakening- Buried Giant. This statue consists of five pieces that depict a man trying to free himself from the earth. It's really cool for photo ops.

The creek is down the hill from the playground, and there's a storybook walk along the way.
