Fairground Park For All

St. Louis as it should be

Parks are symbols of the people they serve — their values, their achievements, their strength as a community. 168 years after it was first conceived, it’s time for Fairground Park to reflect the strength and beauty of St. Louis, to not only serve our city, but to remind us who we are and how connected we will always be.

Fairground Park for All is a non-profit founded by St. Louisans who are ready to imagine what’s next for the park and North City. And we’re here to put in the work to make it happen. We hope you’ll join us.

Let's Make Fairground Park a Symbol of St. Louis

Our Vision

  • To create vibrant, welcoming and safe spaces for outdoor recreation and to foster connections in the St. Louis community
  • To update the architectural master plan for Fairground park from 2006 so as to reveal the park's beauty, serve the recreational interests of people across St. Louis, and reestablish the park as a destination in our city and beyond
  • To build awareness and raise the funding to implement the master plan, through donations and the allocation of public funds
  • To establish an endowment fund that ensures the sustainability of a reimagined and rejuvenated Fairground Park
