Ferguson Parks & Recreation

After opening registration 1 week ago, we have already sold over HALF of the Sweetheart Stroll tickets! Due to the COVID-19 county guidelines, we have a very limited number of spots available. You can register to secure you and your sweetheart's spot by visiting or calling the Ferguson Community Center!

For #FlashbackFriday we wanted to look back at some of the fun programs we were able to have in 2020! Our staff has been working hard to plan fun and safe programs and events for the upcoming months, but for now comment your favorite 2020 moment in the comments below!

Santa and Sirens Night One Update! Ferguson Fire Department

Santa will be starting at the corner of Elizabeth and Chambers heading south on Elizabeth around 4:00pm -4:10pm Ferguson Fire Department

Check out these NEW and exciting programs for seniors! If you are interested in one of these programs, check out the contact information on the associated flyer.

Santa will be visiting Ward 1 beginning at 4:00pm today! We will be joining the Ferguson Fire Department to escort Santa around the streets of Ward 1 to say hello to families and hand out Rudolph's favorite candy! Please check our Facebook story for updates on Santa's location throughout the evening. Santa and his elves have a few reminders for the community. - Emergency Calls take precedent over the Santa Tour, so even though the parade begins, it may have to stop before th...e completion due to high call volume. We will do our best to try and post any changes to our Facebook page. - Inclement weather could cause the delay or cancelation of the nightly parades. - Due to the current Pandemic, Santa won’t be able to stop to interact. So please if you hear Santa, come out side to greet him, or wave from your cars. - Please remember that Santa is escorted by the Men and Women of the Ferguson Fire Department and Ferguson Parks and Recreation Department, and we do our best to go down as many streets as possible. In some cases though, like dead end streets and cul-de-sacs sometimes we are unable to fit. So please if you hear Santa and the parade but he passes up your street, there is a reason, and we encourage you to come see him on another street. We hope everyone enjoy this as much as we do, and we hope this brings some Holiday Cheer to everyone. Please be understanding throughout this event. Thank you and have a great Holiday Season.
