The Forest Park Summit is being sponsored by the Office of the Mayor in order to assess overall visions and ideas for the future land use of Forest Park.
It will also identify the points of consensus and controversy among key constituencies regarding the use, restoration and conservation of the park as the basis for the revision of the 1983 Forest Park Master Plan.
The Summit will include a discussion of the historical development of the park, the 1983 Forest Park Master Plan, park improvements since 1983, and the new consultant study and recommendations commissioned by Forest Park Forever.
The Summit will provide an opportunity to discuss case studies of successful urban planning in other major urban parks and to hear the views of the park institutions, neighborhood and advocate groups and local users of the park.
The Summit will begin to build a consensus on the future of Forest Park through workshops and panel discussions.
The Forest Park Summit will provide the basis for an open, inclusive planning process that will culminate in the ratification and immediate implementation of a Revised Forest Park Master Plan in the Spring of 1994 utilizing public and private funding sources.
