One of the best free parks in the nation. One complaint however is there is no parking to be found and can be quite frustrating.

we live near this park and have for many years. It is clean, well maintained and has a number of different venues, i.e. a great zoo, world class art museum, several golf courses, etc. but the open space for walking or running is beautiful. We like to tell visitors it is larger than Central Park

Every time we come to St. Louis, we visit Forest Park. There is so much to see at the park, and we never fail to see new features of the space. Don't miss it!

Beautiful park so close to the Central West End, where we were staying. Great place for those traveling with dogs to get a well deserved bit of exercise.
