Project Overview
The City of O’Fallon, St. Charles County and Great Rivers Greenway are partnering to build a new greenway connection between Bluebird Meadow and O’Fallon Sports Park. Greenway visitors appreciate the trail and natural beauty, but Bluebird Meadow is currently isolated from the rest of the Dardenne Greenway. This connection was identified as one of the nine priorities in the St. Charles County Greenway Master Plan and is an important step in closing the gap in Dardenne Greenway between Bluebird Meadow in Dardenne Prairie and Highway N in Cottleville.
Project Location
This new section of greenway will start at Bluebird Meadow and run one-mile west through O’Fallon Sports Park to the Highway K shared-use path.
Project Partners
- Great Rivers Greenway
- City of O’Fallon

Current Status
The City of O’Fallon, St. Charles County and Great Rivers Greenway will work with the community to begin design of this greenway segment in 2024. The project has been awarded a federal grant through the Transportation Alternatives Program with construction funds available in fall of 2026. Completion of the project is anticipated in late 2027.
