Creve Coeur Parks and Recreation

Something for Everyone

Creve Coeur’s parks offer something for everyone, with the traditional park amenities but also possessing a unique, historic aura.

Millennium Park — Located near Mason and Olive, this is a 25-acre park that includes a playground, pavilion, 6/10-mile paved walking trail, restrooms, and soccer and softball/baseball fields. Millennium Park is also the site of the historic Tappmeyer Homestead. Assisted by the Tappmeyer Foundation, the city moved the 19th-century farmhouse to the park in order to preserve it.

Lake School Park — Located on Coeur de Ville, this six-acre park features Lake School House, a one-room schoolhouse moved to Creve Coeur to be preserved. It also offers a soccer field, three lighted tennis courts, playground, and restrooms.

Fountain Park — Located on Olive Blvd. at Rue de la Banque West, this one-acre park features new playground equipment and plenty of picnic tables next to the fountain.

LaVerne Collins Park — (opening soon) This 1.5-acre park (at Spoede and Olive) was named in honor of the City Clerk. It will feature a paved path and gazebo.

Beirne Park — Spanning 7.5 acres, this park features a half-mile paved trail, three tennis courts, soccer field, baseball field, two playgrounds, picnic pavilion, and restrooms.

Malcolm Terrace Park — Approximately 25 wooded acres with 1.5 miles of nature trails make up this passive park. The site also includes sand volleyball, new playground equipment, small picnic pavilion, and restrooms. Serenity Grove is a densely planted area with a rock creek and shaded seating.

Conway Park — Located on Conway immediately west of I-270, this 29-acre park features a one-mile paved path with fitness stations, two tennis courts, tot lot, playground, and restrooms. The park also features a wildflower garden and the historic Clester & Hackmann cabins.

Creve Coeur operates the Dielmann Recreational Complex, which houses the golf course and ice arena. Conveniently located in the heart of the city, the golf course offers a nine-hole getaway for residents and businesspersons.

The Bellerive Golf Course has previously played host to the PGA and is looking forward to hosting the PGA Senior Tour as well. The newly renovated ice arena offers regular programs for visitors of all ages including Senior Coffee Klutch, Tot Skating, Stick-N-Puck, Friday Teen Special and Public Session times.

There is also an agreement in place between the cities of Creve Coeur and Maryland Heights to expand their recreation partnership. Creve Coeur residents can now enjoy residential status at Aquaport in Maryland Heights, a four-acre water park, which features five slides, a lazy river, a zero-depth pool and a kiddie pool.

Olivette has 94 acres of parkland separated into five city parks. The largest is Stacy Park, which at 35 acres, features a pavilion, fitness path, baseball fields, picnic tables, playgrounds, open athletic fields and a basketball court. Other parks include Irv Zeid Citizens Park, Villa Park, Indian Meadows Park and Warson Park, which include an equally wide range of facilities such as athletic fields, playground equipment, and pavilions as well as picnic and barbecue facilities. A 7.6-mile bikeway/trail through the city connects all five parks.

The Olivette Community Center has 10 rooms available to rent for classes and events, as well as two banquet halls with seating for 125 and 200. The center currently hosts martial arts, dance, yoga and senior fitness classes as well as a variety of club meetings.

Additionally, the Olivette Parks and Recreation Department offers a variety of programming for all ages throughout the year.
