The City of St. Louis Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry and the nonprofit conservancy Forest Park Forever invite the St. Louis region to see the latest concepts and share input on plans for basketball courts in Forest Park at four upcoming open houses. The two organizations, which partner to restore, maintain and sustain Forest Park, are collaborating on the goal to add basketball to Forest Park’s recreational amenities.

The open houses are part of the community engagement process that collects public input before any major capital updates to the Park, under the guidance of the Forest Park Master Plan.
