Grant Applications


Construction Grants

Since the Municipal Park Grant Commission of St. Louis County was formed in 2000, it has awarded over $90.6  million in grant money to municipalities in St. Louis County.
The grants have been used to fund park renovations and explanation projects including: playgrounds, water parks, golf courses, trails, recreation centers, ice rinks and many other types of recreation facilities.
This money is awarded to municipalities based on the strength of their grant applications, taking into account such factors as need, planning, community input, and prior awards.
The next Construction Project Grant Round will open June 2024.  Please contact the League staff for any questions.

Planning Grants

In order to assist municipalities in developing strong, well-planned, applications, the Commission created a Planning Grant program.  This program awards grants to municipalities in order to help plan future parks and recreation projects. Unlike the implementation grants, planning grants must be met by a 20% match by the municipality, and cannot exceed an award amount of $10,000.
