City of Chesterfield staff intends to be on-site to sell dog tags and supervise dog park etiquette. The city bought the 18.5-acre Ernst Eberwein property last year. The fenced-in, keypad-locked dog run will be near the Baxter Road side, next to Dierbergs Market Place. There will be two separate pens, one for small dogs, the other for all dogs—and a water feature of some sort. Only Chesterfield residents and dogs may use the dog run. A crushed stone trail will wrap around the entire park. Much of the proposed plantings will be executed in the fall in cooler temperatures. The park will also accept donations for trees, benches, picnic tables and more through Chesterfield Living Legacy.
