Here’s your chance to contribute your ideas to the ongoing redevelopment of Forest Park! Forest Park Forever has received a planning grant from the Lila Wallace Reader’s Digest Fund, to be used to help determine what park visitors and neighbors want to see and do in the eastern end of Forest Park.
This area includes such attractions as Steinberg Rink, Jefferson Lake (fishing), the Science Center, the archery range, part of the bike/jogging path, and the fish hatcheries.
The Forest Park Master Plan calls for a number of changes in this area, including restoration of some wetlands and other natural areas, the connection of all lakes and lagoons into a single, meandering stream, and the addition of more benches, paths and other park amenities. Forest Park Forever is surveying park neighbors and visitors to learn how they use the park today and what types of changes, programs, and improvements they would like to see. Copies of the survey will be distributed by block captains in the coming weeks.
Please watch for your copy and call the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council office if you do not receive one. Forest Park is a wonderful resource to have in our backyard.
This survey is a first step in helping to make it even better.
Please take the time to complete the survey and return it promptly.
