Lockard Park is tucked away in Chester just behind the Community Building. Chester is a nice community with two parks so check out the other across the beautiful creek. This park has four swings, two spider circle swings, monkey bars, rings, small jungle gym, slide, and half court basketball court. There is a green space to throw a ball or have a picnic. The park was funded by meals hosted at the Beard and Lady Inn which came from Chester locals and friends of Chester. The park is surrounded by the Boston Mountains in the Ozarks and just off the main highway. It's worth taking a trip to Chester to eat, sleep, hike, swim, climb, side by side, gravel bike ride, or just enjoy the parks. read more
