Forest Park

Forest Park is, in my opinion, the best amenity that comes with living in St. Louis. If you are like me and require a daily dose of the outdoors when you’re living in the city, Forest Park will be your best friend. It’s literally right across the street from the medical school and is full of beautiful landscaping and free things to do. Some of my favorites are going for walks/runs (daily requirement/getaway), picnicking on Art Hill (also a great place to be for sunset), attending the annual Forest Park Hot Air Balloon Race (very cool), and paddleboarding in the Grand Basin.
