Dear Friends and Neighbors:
Summer is a great time to enjoy outdoor plans with our families, friends and community. Our many warm weather events and facilities are here for our residents and visitors to utilize and enjoy. Our Fourth of July Celebration, Concerts on Central, Eureka Days and other events promise to promote an active and exciting summer. Music, food and family enjoyment will be a primary theme for our Parks Department, organizations and businesses.
Please feel free to invite friends and relatives to our sponsored activities or hold your own picnic or gathering in one of our many parks. Adjacent areas such as Route 66 Park, Rockwood Reservation and Greensfelder offer residents and visitors unique nature experiences that few communities are able to provide. Take advantage of the many events mentioned in this newsletter. Additional program and facility information can be found on our website. We will keep you updated on new events and projects planned or underway. Above all, enjoy a safe and relaxing summer season.
Sincerely,
Kevin M. Coffey
Mayor

Nestled amongst the rolling hills and limestone of Southwest St. Louis County you will find beautiful Eureka, Missouri. Eureka is unique among other St. Louis County communities for its retention of a small-town atmosphere while still providing access to a major metropolitan area. Beautiful local and state parks and surrounding terrain, quality schools, affordable housing and low crime are just a few of the amenities that make Eureka a great place to live, work and play.
Eureka has begun the process of developing a new recreation center, municipal pool and city-wide trail system for the community to enjoy. Our Parks & Recreation Department provides various recreational and cultural programming throughout the year that helps to foster community interest and a shared sense of place among residents.
The City of Eureka is located within the award-winning Rockwood School District. The Rockwood School District has been awarded the “Distinction in Performance” award by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and a “Gold Medal” rating from Expansion Management Magazine.
Eureka is conveniently located along I-44 at the southwestern end of St. Louis County. Our north/south connection is Hwy. 109. Hwy. 109, north, provides access to communities such as Wildwood, Chesterfield and Ellisville and to the south, northern Jefferson County. The City of Eureka is just minutes from the St. Louis city limits and provides access to concerts, shopping, employers, the arts and the entire St. Louis Metropolitan Area.
