Forest Park

Designed by Olmstead, and it is apparent by the flow and layout of the park. We have done it on foot and on bike, both were great. The food stand hasnt been open when we went, but we brought lunch and stopped at the farmers market this past visit. Our kids enjoy some of the gardens a while, but the main playground next to the zoo entrance is the hit. Come early on a weekend day to reserve a picnic area if you intend to have a party, we have seen local people do that often and I can see why, great park. But please to remember to TAKE HOME WHAT YOU BRING, just because there are trash cans doesn't mean you have to leave your trash and make someone elses life more difficult. Best way to keep future costs down and all our countries parks beautiful is to treat them/leave them the way you would like them to look when you come back next. Park employees can make the grounds greater and more enjoyable instead of picking up solo cups and straw wrappers. Thanks!

Went to Cry Ice Rink at Forest Park with my grandson on February school vacation. It was definitely the right place. Strangers were so nice and helpful to me and my grandson, especially when he fel.l

Fall is one of the most beautiful times in New England, however walking through Forest Park in the spring is breathtaking. Many trees begin with flowers, and green shoots of new plants start to emerge from the forest floor. Truly a new beginning. Experience Forest Park in every season.
