One of the coolest places to be a kid in St. Charles County is about to get a whole lot cooler.
Kinetic Park’s new splash play area opens this weekend with water attractions that rival an amusement park.
The grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting will be held at Kinetic Park on Saturday, May 30 at 10:30 a.m.
The ribbon cutting celebrates not only the new water features, but also eight new outdoor pickleball courts, and the complete overhaul of the park. Already renowned for its skate and extreme sports areas, the park now becomes a full-day destination for the whole family.
“If I could be a kid again, this is where you’d find me this summer,” says County Executive Steve Ehlmann. “It’s really well done.”
Kids will discover a splash pad about the size of two tennis courts. Springs of water bubble up underfoot, while geysers shoot aloft from surrounding boulders. A rock formation of faux sandstone allows you to stand under two cooling waterfalls. There’s also a 10-gallon bucket on a high pole that dumps water on whoever stands beneath. And there are three waterslides, all suitable for younger ones.
Kinetic Park already features an outdoor skate course, asphalt pump track, bike skills course, vert ramp, climbing gym, indoor pickleball courts, and an adventure playground that opened last year. Entry to Kinetic Park and access to its amenities are free, with the exception of the climbing gym ($10/person) and indoor pickleball courts ($5-8 per person).
