    Amazing playground, historical buildings and hiking trails! Next to the Butterfly house and Governor Bates trail.

    Faust Park is really at the top of it's class. This park spans nearly 200 acres in Chesterfield, MO. Do not just stop at the playground, be sure and walk behind the newer buildings and enter a time warp into the 1800's. There are multiple parking lots at Faust Park. Restrooms and water fountains are available in three locations. Large trees provide shade during the hot St. Louis summers. The playground area has benches under sun shades. The playground has slides, a rock wall, swings, crawling and climbing areas, and tunnels. Faust Park offers visitors nature walks, The Butterfly House, St. Louis Carousel, large playground, picnic sites, historic home village, summer concert series, private parties, weddings, a music school, and more. This is a year round park that is sure to please all ages.

    One of the jewels of Chesterfield is Faust Park, home of the Butterfly House. This park has something for everyone! There's a nice, decent sized playground with climbing rocks for children, lots of trails for walking, a nice lake, and the Butterfly House. The Butterfly House is a nice, well-kept greenhouse that houses various butterflies. Guests can come in and walk around (it's not terribly large though), and sit among the flowers and vegetation while being greeted by butterflies. What's not to like? I was in a friend's wedding here about 10 years ago and the ceremony and reception were both held here. The grounds offered a lovely outdoor wedding and tented reception. Also, all of the guests were able to enter the Butterfly House for free. It was very nice. The Butterfly House charges an admission fee normally. There's also a lot of log cabins and historic buildings on the grounds here that you can see while walking on the trails, as well as St. Louis Carousel. I've never been inside but they do have a carousel that is open to the public.

    This historical old park in Faust is a beautiful little stroll with the family or break way from the "hustle and bustle" of Chesterfield! ha ha. This isn't necessarily a place you'd visit on its own; luckily, there's an adjacent playground, carousel, and butterfly house to keep the kids busy all day long! It's nice to walk around and look at these historical buildings to see "the way things used to be", but it's not a destination that'll keep your kids occupied for long. The great thing about Faust Park, though, is the location. It's on Olive in the middle of West County... very accessible and open until dusk. Check out their schedule for free concerts or Shakespeare in the Park!

    This definitely is a must-hangout location, if you're living out in the West County. It's a great place to chill with your family - especially if you have children. But since, I am a single dude, I never utilized the park's great features like: the Butterfly house, the St. Louis Carousel, the historical Faust village, the outdoor playground, etc. This past Saturday, I wanted to find a new short trail for my run, so I have ventured into the park's forest trail (Thornhill ~2.0 miles). I would not recommend this trail for a run, because it was way too hilly. But I was amazed at its awesome scenic view. I really had to second guess whether I was really in Chesterfield, MO. See my pics! And yes, I am a crackberry addict, who runs with my phone. This is a great trail for you to take a leisurely walk to enjoy the beauty of the nature. It will def. take you out of the West Country Surburbian life!

    Faust Park I would say is one of the better parks that West County has to offer. In the land of the suburbs, this place could be considered the enchanted kingdom of trees, grass, benches, and home of the St. Louis Carousel, which was installed in 1929 in Highland Park, which burned down and it was the only thing to survive. The carousel is the equivalent say Excalibur. Eventually the carousel would be installed at Sylvan Spring Park until it would find it's way to Faust Park. There, indoors, but still with a full view of the world that is around it, the carousel sits in it's magnificent glory out of the elements but surrounded by them. Faust Park also has other things to offer as well. They have a old time village and they also house the butterfly house and in the summer time they host music and fireworks. Faust Park is a great place to go with friends and family.

    Great park that contains the butterfly house, historical village, and St. Louis carousel. It also contains great walking trails, playgrounds, and gardens. Great place for photo ops and special community events.

    Faust Park is an interesting place in Chesterfield that has this historic little village that looks like something out of a Mark Twain novel. There is a gravel walking trail that connects the separate areas of the park. On the left side of the park is a pond and the Butterfly House, which features films and all kinds of educational information on the butterflies as well as the butterflies themselves. Going towards the middle of the park will bring you to the Carousel building and the playground. I tried going in the Carousel building once, but as I didn't have a kid with me, I drew nervous attention from the parents and so I quickly left. Therefore, I cannot really review the Carousel; but the playground is fun! On the right side of the park is the historic village that has various houses from the 1800s. Sometimes on weekends there are people dressed up in historical clothing at the houses. They teach the kids about what life was like in the 1800s, and sometimes they even weave and demonstrate blacksmithing. The park isn't that big, but it still has a lot to offer, and is usually quite busy on the weekends.

    What a fabulous first experience at Faust Park! Immediately we knew this was a popular event because Olive Blvd. was lined with parked cars for several blocks. After finding a parking spot in a neighborhood just off of Olive/Ladue Rd., we walked towards the park and could hear the Bob Kuban Band playing and families chattering. After entering the park, we easily found a comfortable place to open up our lawn chairs, cracked open a few ice cold IPA's and snacks from our mini-cooler and enjoyed the show. The Bob Kuban band was very interactive, inviting both children and adults onto to the stage to participate in the electric slide and chicken dance. They also played popular favorites by Lady Gaga, Adele, Etta James as well as classics like "Twist and Shout". During intermission, cake from Knodel's Bakery & Catering was served, which was absolutely delicious, by the way. Onsite food trucks included: Sarah's Meltdown, Shell's Coastal Cuisine, Chop Shop, Taste of the Hill Pizza and KONA Ice. The night ended with a fireworks show put on by the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce. What an enjoyable, FREE night of fun!

    This is a nice park in the heart of Chesterfield. However, despite being in the heart of…read moreChesterfield (close to the interstate, the amphitheater and library), it was very quiet and hardly anyone was there. We came to see the Sculpture "The Awakening" which is a massive sculpture of a giant who is struggling to get out of the ground. It's not a single sculpture but five separate sculptures that make up "The Awakening". Great park to visit - not only for the sculpture but for some peace and quiet.

    My husband and I came here when we came to St. Louis last week initially because I wanted to see…read more"The Awakening" sculpture, but overall, we loved it for many other reasons, as well! When we first got here, we noticed the park is in a pretty secluded area, and not many people were around unless they were going to the library that is connected to the parking lot. There are so many different parts of this park, including "The Awakening" sculpture, an amphitheater, a walking trail with a waterfront, and a Veterans memorial. The park was very clean, and we loved everything we experienced. The sculpture was so cool and is basically a steel man broken up into different separated body parts, who looks like he is trying to free himself from the ground. It's unbelievable how big this is in person, and we loved it. The Veterans Memorial was gorgeous and included significant quotes, a fountain, and American flags with every branch of the military included. The waterfront and trails were gorgeous, and we saw many HUGE ducks, cardinals, and wildlife. We loved the isolated walking trail because it had such beautiful views. Homes are being built around there, too, and the water would be such a gorgeous view to have every day from a home window. We weren't able to go to the amphitheater because they were getting ready for a summer night free concert event, but when we left, many people were gathering to go to the event. You can bring your own beer as long as it's in a can, so that's awesome and unlike many other public areas! Overall, if I lived in St. Louis, I could see myself regularly coming to this park and the surrounding area often. It's definitely a tranquil place where you can be one with nature and enjoy the views and entertainment.
