Confirmed from Forest Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
City park with athletic fields and courts, a skate park, a playground, picnic areas, and miniature golf.
What runners say about Forest Park
“If you’re looking for a clean, vibrant environment to spend an afternoon, this is it.”
“Was sad mini golf wasn't open, but the entire park is absolutely picturesque.”
“Nestled among lush trees, it offers plenty of shade and a scenic atmosphere.”
“The one we visited this time was especially well-designed for all ages.”
This park has 3 playgrounds. One is for smaller children, one is for older kids and one a train themed play area. By the little play area, they have a carousel ($2/rider). The park also has volleyball courts, golf course, miniature golf, skate park, tennis courts, and baseball diamonds by the Forest Park pool.
This park is truly one of the best. Nestled among lush trees, it offers plenty of shade and a scenic atmosphere. There’s no shortage of activities, including swimming, miniature golf, skating ramps, a merry-go-round, paved walking paths, and even train rides through the Nickel Plate Express.
Something for everyone! Designated spots for golf, putt putt, carousel, skate ramps, pool and splash pad etc. some hiking trails but mostly paved walkways which are great for kids, strollers, roller blading etc. my favorite thing about the park though are the hidden spots for solitude.
What an amazing space for kids and adults. The playground is awesome. The aquatic center is awesome. The walking oaths are beautiful. Can't ask for much more in a city park.
