Forest Park is the best, now and forever!

More than 5,000 trees in Forest Park were damaged—3,100 were lost or felled—when a tornado devastated our region on May 16, 2025. Thanks to over 2,000 volunteers stepping in and our community of 6,000 members, we are thrilled to know our beloved green space and fully accessible playground remains among the best urban parks around. 

Forest Park is where St. Louis has come to play for 150 years! This 1,300 acre urban habitat is home to 5 major cultural institutions, several playgrounds and over 190 acres of Nature Reserve to explore. That’s why our nonprofit conservancy has been working to restore, maintain and sustain the City’s most iconic park for nearly 40 years. 

Located next to the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center, Variety Wonderland Playground was one of the first fully accessible public play spaces in the St. Louis region. We worked with Variety to fund a restoration project in 2021, and the grounds have since become a favorite spot for children of all abilities, adults too.

No registration is required! You can vote for Forest Park as the Best City Park with the Best Public Playground through Monday morning, April 6 at 11:00 a.m.
