In it's past, the park has served as a rest station for WWII soldiers, a host for the reception of Charles Lindberg, a cool sleeping spot in the hot summers of Saint Louis, and most significantly-the home of the 1904 Worlds' Fair and Olympics. After a period of general neglect throught the 1970's, the park is once again the focus of the city. The Forest Park Master Plan is currently in debate at City Hall, a new tax supports the park, and a non-profit organization, Forest Park Forever, has committed itself to the restoration of Forest Park.
