Fall colors sure look good on Rotary Park. And there is still time for YOU to have a say in this beloved park’s future.
The City has recently acquired land that has TRIPLED the size of Rotary Park and we want YOU to visit www.wentzvillemo.gov/RotaryParkPlan to take the survey that will guide its future development.
Rotary Park currently boasts fishing access, trails and is home to a variety of wildlife, making it a peaceful escape for nature lovers.
It also acts as an event space for the community. This past summer we hosted the first concert in the park we have hosted in many years at the amphitheater. It is also home to events including the St. Louis Renaissance Festival, St. Charles County Fair and Holiday Night Lights.
This growth brings endless possibilities for this beloved park and this survey is your chance to shape its future.
Although Rotary Park is closed to vehicle traffic in order to prepare for Holiday Night Lights, the foliage is worth a walk through the park. You never know what you might see.
The season is packed with festive fun in Wentzville! ❄️
