Park development

Half of the park's land was donated and half of it was sold to St. Charles County by Henry L. Stealey, a farmer, in 1998.[2] The St. Louis chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects donated their services to its planning.[3] The park opened in 2000. It has a three-acre fishing lake and seven miles of trails and paved surfaces.[1]

The park is approximately 250 acres and has various amenities, including a 4,440 square foot hall, Quail Ridge Lodge, that is rented out for weddings and events. Its 2.5 dog park, which opened in 2003, was the first off-leash dog park in St. Charles County.[1]

The park is home to the Quail Ridge Horseshoe Club and the National Horseshoe Pitchers Hall of Fame and Museum.[4] The Hall of Fame and Museum moved to the park from its previous home in Joelton, Tennessee, in 2006. It has exhibits relating to the history of the game as well as 32 indoor and outdoor horseshoe pitching courts.[5][6]

gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.
