Wikipedia Description: Forest Park (St. Louis)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri, opened in 1876 and the former site of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904, (better known as "The World's Fair") is one of the large urban landscape parks created during the later 19th century, following the example of Central Park in New York City. At 1,293 acres (5.2 km�), Forest Park is over 50% larger than New York's Central Park (843 acres or 3.41 km�).

The park is located along the western edge of the City of St. Louis, though it is located nearly in the center of the entire metropolitan area. It is bordered by Skinker Boulevard and Washington University in St. Louis to the west, I-64/US-40 and Oakland Avenue to the south, Kingshighway Boulevard and Barnes-Jewish Hospital and the Washington University Medical Center to the east, and Lindell Boulevard to the north.

At one time the River des Peres ran openly through the park, but due to sanitary concerns it was moved into a wooden box underground shortly before the World's Fair. However, as part of the park's "Master Plan", the river was brought back to the surface to link the park's lakes.

Other major parks in the city of St. Louis include Tower Grove Park and Carondelet Park.

Architects:

The park was dedicated June 24, 1876, and was originally four miles outside the St. Louis city limits.

Maximillian G. Kern designed the Park's original plan, with Prussian-born St. Louis Surveyor Julius Pitzman. Kern also designed parks at the Compton Hill and Chain of Rocks Reservoir.

George Kessler, who designed many urban parks throughout Texas and the Midwest, created a new master design for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.

A popular myth says that Frederick Law Olmsted designed the park, fair grounds and Washington University campus. Kessler had worked briefly for Olmsted as a Central Park gardener when he was in his 20s. Furthering this confusion is that Olmstead was involved with Forest Park ...More...
