We want your feedback on future park improvements!
The City of Gainesville’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department and the Wild Spaces & Public Places program invites you to attend an open house to discuss future improvements at Forest Park.
Suggested upgrades to the park currently include improvements to drainage, soccer fields and sport courts, signage, field and parking area lighting, dog park areas, pavilion and park amenities, as well as the addition of a soccer ball barrier along SW 43rd street.
The park renovation is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2022.
This project is being funded with the Wild Spaces & Public Places half-cent sales tax. Collected from January 2017 to December 2024, the sales tax will continue to create, improve and maintain parks and recreational facilities and acquire and improve environmentally-sensitive lands.
