The City of Sikeston has a total of 16 parks, 8 trails, including the Cottonbelt Trail, and the Clinton Building in our park system, which is supervised by a Parks and Recreation Director and a 9-member advisory Park Board.  Maintenance is provided by a 4-person Park Division under the direct supervision of a Parks Maintenance Supervisor.

Several of our parks have picnic shelters/pavilions that are available to reserve for special events such as family reunions, company gatherings and church picnics.  Malone Park, located in downtown Sikeston, has a bandstand located at the east end of the park that has often been reserved for special occasions, including weddings.  Legion Park is also located Downtown and has a bandstand near our newest splashpad. Lincoln Park is the home to our newest splashpad and has several pavilions adjacent to rent.  Splashpads cannot be reserved for private use but the pavilions and shelters near them are available to rent.  To make a park reservation, please visit our Reservation Website, as all rentals are now made online. 

There is a fee for picnic shelter reservations for the Recreation Complex, Rotary Park, Lincoln Park, Legion Park, and the bandstand at Malone Park. Fees are $10 for up to 4 hours. 

The Clinton Building is our Community Services Building donated by Ray and Dorothy Clinton in May of 2002.  There are three rental size options, with the largest option having a seating capacity of 230 people.  You can see all pricing, available dates, photos, rental agreements, etc. on our Reservation Website, as all rentals are now made online only.
