Hanley Park Pavilion - Complete!
The Board of Alderman approved a contract with John Kalicak Construction, Inc. for the Hanley Park Pavilion project in Fall 2011. Funded primarily with a St. Louis County Municipal Park Grant, this project addresses the primary needs for the site by providing accessible walkways throughout the park, accessible restrooms and a covered learning area that will serve the students and adult learning groups that frequent the Historic Hanley House and surrounding parkland.

Shaw Park
In 2010, the City completed an update of the Master Plan for Shaw Park. Included in that plan were enhancements to the walking trails, reconstruction of the Tennis Courts and additional improvements to the park that will include new gardens and public art. Funding for these upgrades will come from a variety of sources, primarily grants and private donations secured by the Clayton Century Foundation. All of these improvements are in preparation for the City of Clayton’s Centennial Celebration which will be held in 2013. Construction on the trail will begin in the spring of 2012 with work on the Tennis Center and gardens taking place throughout the year.
Shaw Park Trail
Pink flags have been placed throughout Shaw Park marking the layout of the new trail system.
Shaw Park Pavilion
We want your opinions on the design of the new pavilion in Shaw Park. The pavilion, scheduled to break ground this fall, will replace the tent structure in the center of Shaw Park. To ensure we create a signature pavilion that our residents enjoy for many years to come, we are holding a design workshop at The Center of Clayton on Thursday, May 10 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Architects from Christner, Inc. will lead the discussion. Refreshments will be provided.
Centennial Greenway
 Great Rivers Greenway in coordination with Metro, and the Cities of Clayton, Ladue, Olivette and University City is starting construction of another segment of the Centennial Greenway, a trail that traverses St. Louis County from Forest Park to Creve Coeur Park. The 'spur' to Shaw Park will follow the old railroad corridor that runs parallel to Interstate 170 to Olive Blvd. Construction of the trail will take place in Clayton starting in April and the entire project is expected to be complete by winter 2012.
