Forest Park Forever is a success story rooted in generous community members and donors who support Forest Park for this season and future generations. Tune in to KMOV Channel 4 for A Day 4 Forest Park on December 11.
It's hard to believe today, but Forest Park was once in decline, with crumbling infrastructure and deferred maintenance that kept people from visiting. Thanks to the greater St. Louis community supporting our nonprofit conservancy, the Park is now a treasured destination with over 15.5 million annual visitors. Our team cares for over 592,000 square feet of landscape beds across 13,000-acres. We plant over 68,300 flowering bulbs (like tulips and daffodils) in addition to 7,400 flowers and other foliage. We care for nearly 16,000 trees and planted over 450 last season. You can support this daily work and more!
Special thanks to our friends at KMOV for being our media partner this season and to Enterprise Mobility Foundation for matching new membership gifts of up to $1,000 dollar-for-dollar through December 31, 2024.
