Having one of the most beautiful urban parks in American is a claim St . Louis takes seriously . At approximately 1,300 acres , it is bigger than New York City ’ s Central Park and opened to the public in 1876 .
What you may not know is that in 1986
Forest Park Forever was founded in partnership with the City of St . Louis and the Department of Parks , Recreation and Forestry to restore , maintain , and sustain Forest Park .
