Perched just inside the city, Forest Park has functioned as a proverbial playground for generations of St. Louisans and tourists alike.

With Forest Park: A Walk Through History as your guide, you'll be able to take the time to appreciate the Park's historical markers and natural wonders. Discover the hills, fields, and winding ribbons of water traversing the Park. Find the best spot to host a family picnic, or explore landmarks like the site of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition. From the monuments to the memorials, the waterfowl and the wildflowers, enjoy the journey and be open to the thrill of exploration. Local author Carolyn Mueller brings an insider's perspective after spending a decade living near the Park and countless hours exploring its bike paths and running trails. Check out her favorite spots like Kennedy Forest, the Bridge to Picnic Island, and the Saint Louis Zoo, or discover your own as you venture into this crown jewel of St. Louis.
