I decided to try this park for my morning walk and I'm glad I did . Great views , plenty of people walking, biking, fishing, relaxing and jogging. I felt very safe in my environment. Parking was convenient and birds were chirping. I will definitely walk this trail again when I'm in the area. Park was very clean and clear of clutter, grass green and trees healthy as they stand strong. read more

I came here for an event, it was for the Mo cowbell There were so many different vendors available there was tons of food trucks, such as coffee and ice cream. The park was very clean. It's a huge area right next to the river and it's very beautiful. There's even a hell down by the river. You can sit out to watch the sunset. I highly recommend read more

I took my dog Chloe to see Main Street for the Christmas. There was a vibe of Christmas everywhere around Main Street and at this park. The feel of joy, festivity and cheer all around. I also been here during regular time of the month without any festivals or celebrations and it is a relaxing place. This place is great for walking to just get the exercise to stay healthy or fresh air or both. read more

I walk frequently for exercise and like to try different scenery to keep it interesting. That is how I ended up at Frontier Park recently. I am already familiar with the area as I've attended Festival of the Little Hills and other events here for years. Overall it's a nice scenic park with paved walking trails and riverfront access and views. There are multiple benches to rest on and pavilions for events. The downside to this park is you have kids is no play area. I parked at the far end (towards hwy 70 end) and walked down toward the Art Foundry and was pleased to learn that after the paved walking trail ends, there is a trail that continues in gravel. I took it past the Art Foundry quite a ways and then turned around and came back. There were other walkers and bike riders on the path as well. There is plenty of free parking all around this area IF you come during a downtime. If you come during dinner rush on Main St or during an event, parking can be very difficult to find. read more

Frontier Park - Parks Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

We came to Frontier Park to celebrate Octoberfest while visiting family in St. Charles. Frontier Park runs along the Missouri River and it's a pleasant park to visit. The various functions and beirgartens were spaced out well to keep the crowd separated and help with crowd control. One of the largest draws was The Original Milwaukee Glockenspiel performed several times throughout the day. Tables and chairs were placed in the area but they filled up quickly. Most just sat on the ground in front of the stage or stood as close as possible. It was very entertaining. A decent selection of vendors from food to candles were located along the main pathway. Toward the afternoon it became very congested trying to move along the main isleways. The children's area was extremely popular with a game where the child laid on their stomach on a flat carrier and it moved toward a prize section a few yards away. The child had to grab a ball or toy and hold on to it while returning to the starting point in order to keep. The line was unbelievable and the kids were super excited to win their prize. One of the other highlights was A Weiner Takes All Dog Derby. The Race was an extremely popular event making it difficult to view the race unless you grabbed a front row space very early. Weiner Dogs were walking, on leases, throughout Octoberfest all day along with many other types of dogs. We were confused because the signage at the entrance said no dogs during an event but many, besides the racing Weiner dogs, were everywhere. I would have brought our dogs had I known. St. Charles' Octoberfest was fun and Main Street was hopping with people dining, shopping and site seeing. We enjoyed Octoberfest, the river, our lunch and visiting Main Street again. Good times! read more

Between the Missouri River and Mainstreet St. Charles, Frontier Park is home to many a good times with Octoberfest, Festival of the Little Hills, countless other festivals. Lewis and Clark camped here eons ago, before their journey of discovery West - so make sure to check out the Lewis and Clark Museum and learn a little about this part of the Country after the Louisiana Purchase. read more

Not really sure how to explain this park, but I'll just go by what the others have said. It's a simple river-side park, as it is pretty chill - especially for a nice day. You can sit at one of the many benches and just zone out in front of the Missouri River. In addition to the Katy Trail, there is a walk/bikeway that people can stroll on. There are some grassy areas, but not a lot of shaded ones. Other than that, it's not really kid-friendly as I didn't see one playground. If you're into history, there are a few interesting historical markers along with the statue of Lewis and Clark with their furry companion, Seaman. I haven't attended any festivals here, as I'm sure they draw big crowds. Like one other reviewer pointed out, it is a bit tricky to get into the park. I guess the best way is park in the lot where the Lewis and Clark Boat House is. Or park behind one of the Main St. businesses as there is plenty of public parking. There is a black metal/iron fence that is around most of the park, but there are a few open entryways. read more

Riding the Katy Trail, this is a natural starting point, or for us, an ending point. It's a wonderful park, anchored by the St. Charles trailhead and iconic Lewis & Clark (and Seaman) statue. On this last visit, everything was DRY and the city of St. Charles was celebrating their 250 year anniversary and it was cool to come in at the tail end of the celebrations; Lewis & Clark re-enactors, bunting everywhere from the earlier parade, and tons of locals and visitors enjoying the heart of downtown. The river views are great, although it looks like it can be prone to flooding in a year like this. But hey, they've been around 250 years so they can surely handle that when it happens! My hometown of KC has a comparable area, Berkley Riverfront, that needs to send out some planners to mimic this park. It's a wonderful gathering space where people can take in both the history of the area and the vibrant present. read more

Frontier Park - "Rusty Nail" at the Irish Festival - Parks Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

I have been to this park many times to visit the Festival of the little hills and on my way through on the Katy trail, but I never really just walk around at the park. I guess you could say that it is pretty uninteresting and kinda just bland. I went with my wife and kids, and our three year old was in tears because they didn't have a swing set or jungle gym. I pretty much had no idea that they had no such equipment so I felt bad for telling her they did. When we were walking around we saw a sign about a future project to bring said equipment but that they were still several $100,000's of dollars away from the fund raising goal to make it happen. So I am not holding my breath. It is a nice place and I really like the train tracks and trains that they have on display. I also have taken engagement photos for a couple here and they were really nice on the tracks. But in the end for a family looking to have fun with the kids it falls short. read more

This is a difficult park to access. There is a metal iron fence running the length of Riverside Drive. This fence has very few opening to access the park. If you are eating, shopping, walking around Historic Main Street and would like to visit Frontier Park you have to find an open access point. I have seen people blocking the road trying to funnel into one of a few openings in the fence. The park has some seating, some paths, and a Grand Pavilion. During festivals the grass is filled with vendors. It is a good location to view the river. Fourth of July fireworks are a popular attraction at this park. The Katy Trail runs through Frontier Park. read more

So this park isn't a kid type park. There is no equipment for them to climb on and go nuts. What this park is good for is a picnic, a stroll or just relaxing and watching the river pass by. The Katy Trail passes through and there is an old train parked on the old rail road tracks and an old train depot. Also, there is a 15 foot statue of Lewis and Clark. I've been told if you sit on the boot and pass gas it will ring out. I wasn't along for that adventure, but I can imagine I would laugh pretty hard. Other than that there isn't much going on unless there is a festival of some sort going on. Some of the festivals held in the park are Festival of the Little Hills, 4th of July (with a pretty impressive fireworks display), Lewis and Clark Heritage Days (with food and crafts from that era), October Fest, Celtic Festival and others. Parking sucks for the larger festivals. I recommend finding a spot and walking unless you like to pay $10-$20 for parking. The paid parking does benefit the boy scouts or who ever is manning the lot. There are brand new bathrooms now in the park. These are modern bathrooms and pretty awesome. The light turns on when you open the door to save energy. There are no seats that lift up on the toilets and everything is made out of recycled plastic. The sinks are made of the same material and are automatic as well as the hand dryer. The hand dryer is in with the sink. It's really cool and these restrooms are open at night. We walk our dogs in the park on a regular basis and some times nature calls and I need to go before I get home. I'm really happy these are here now. There is a men's room, women's room and family section. Great addition to the park! read more

It's a really chill park at a great location. I guess there isn't too much to do here compared to normal parks, but if you're into things like frisbee's, photography, flowers, rivers, kites, green grass, or railroads then you'll probably find something you like to do here. read more

This is the park along the river in downtown St. Charles that has part of the Katy trail running through it. Great views of the river and some newer pavilions you can reserve for family gatherings. There is a paved walkway along the water that is very pleasant. There are two downsides: 1. During festivals (there are a lot) the city will not let people bring in dogs. 2. After a big rain it takes a while for the water to drain. read more

This isn't a playground type park but the events hosted here are usually pretty good. It's just a short jaunt away from historic downtown Saint Charles and makes for good walks after lunch/dinner. read more

Though it is not posted in their rules, you are not allowed to hang a hammock, apparently even with tree-safe straps. They allowed a raucous festival and all the litter and smoke that comes with it, but not a harmless hammock. We were also harassed by solicitors. read more
