In the shadow of the World’s Fair Pavilion, sit on a historic hill with the artful, accessible landscape. The plantings you see looking down from the top are different from the ones you see looking up the hill.
Sit on one of the many benches in Pagoda Circle or spread a picnic blanket out before seeing a show at The Muny. The 101st season starts on June 10!
Looking for a more quiet spot for a picnic? Round Lake is located in the northeast area of the Park. The historic fountain, installed in 1916, is the perfect background noise for reading or meditating.
Located in the Deer Lake Savannah next to the waterway, Council Circle has enough space for lots of people for a picnic. Plus, you don’t have to worry about bringing a blanket or chairs!
Set up a surprise picnic for your loved one next to Seven Pools across from Jefferson Lake and next to Bowl Lake. This area is a part of the Forest Park East Waterways improvement project. Learn more about the project here.
