Forest Park has a rich and grand history, one that Forest Park Forever is working to bring to life through our efforts to revitalize the Park. From housing one of the nation's most revered zoos to acting as a landing strip for early barn-burners; from hosting the 1904 World's Fair to hosting thousands of troops during World War II, the Park has played a role in our city's life for more than twelve decades. It's our job to ensure that it continues to be a beautiful St. Louis landmark for the next twelve decades.
