Fishing enthusiasts, paddleboarders, nature-lovers, kayakers, and more soaked in the warm sun and enjoyed mild temperatures as they tested the waters in the City of Chesterfield’s new River’s Edge 188-acre passive park with a 38.5-acre lake. The floating dock, ramp and benches at the water’s edge were all manufactured and installed by Tiger Docks.

“We are doing more and more of these ADA community docks,” said Nick Davis, Tiger Docks president. “The 5-foot wide, 40-foot long handrailed aluminum bridge at River’s Edge provides a gangway ample enough for wheelchairs, strollers, and families holding little ones’ hands. The 12’x16’ floating platform offers room for any number of water activities and is finished with Trex ‘Rope Swing’ composite decking, one of our most popular decking products.”

“Our engineering staff was impressed with the quality construction in Tiger Docks’ galvanized steel framing and encapsulated foam floatation,” said Tom McCarthy, director of Parks, Recreation & Arts for the City of Chesterfield. “They also liked the combination of safety and openness offered by the dock edge kick plate that runs around the entire perimeter of the dock. Personally, I think the two composite lumber benches are a really nice touch – they offer a spot for water enthusiasts to get their gear on and a peaceful place for rest and reflection when residents just want to enjoy the scenery and the fresh air. I can personally say that those benches are the perfect place for the best view in Chesterfield!”

Up the ramp from the dock is a 26x26 square foot pavilion built by the project’s general contractor, Schneider Construction Services of O’Fallon. Schneider also erected the concrete slab that served as the bulkhead for the new bridge and dock, according to Brad Schneider, construction manager on the project.

Chesterfield’s newest and largest park, River’s Edge is located on the north side of the levee near Taubman Prestige Outlets at the western end of the parking lot. In addition to the opportunity for water activities, the park features a 2+-mile crushed limestone walking trail with breathtaking scenery and wonderful wildlife.
