Fall colors sure look good on Rotary Park. And there is still time for YOU to have a say in this beloved parkβs 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.

Today we are WRECognizing Kyle J. π
Since joining the WREC in December 2023, Kyle has made remarkable progress on his weight loss journey. You`ll find him in the weight room, where he spends most of his time building strength and staying consistent with his goals.
"The most memorable moments have been people congratulating me on my weight loss," Kyle shares. "It feels really good to hear such compliments."
Kyle credits the WREC with helping him stay accountable and watch himself get stronger each month. He`s also formed a meaningful connection with his personal trainer, Nick Maurer, who he`s been working with for over one-and-a-half years.
Outside the gym, Kyle works as a subject matter expert on UiPath for the FAA, helping create robotic process automations. His advice for anyone hesitant about joining? "Ask the front desk for a tour. The staff has been wonderful to me."
Kyle`s message to the community is simple but powerful: "It`s never too late to start living healthy."
Great news! Weβve added extra public swim hours at the WREC leisure pool for Thanksgiving break. While the family is off, it is the perfect place to burn energy, unwind and enjoy some quality family float time. Check out the schedule by visiting www.wentzvillemo.gov/WRECPool.
