As the site of World Expo 1904, Forest Park is the second largest city park in the country. There are many things you can do here. As a native, I think Forest Park is the center of outdoor life in St. Louis. Forest parks include zoos, the St. Louis Museum of Art, the Missouri Museum of History, lakes, a golf course, and endless bicycles and footpaths. Outdoor skating (winter), fishing, picnics and barbecues are also good choices for you. There are also several sports venues in the park, which are the home of some amateur sports leagues. Although located in the urban areas of the Midwest, the forest park still has its own unique beauty, which is like a jewel of St. Louis, the gateway city.
