Forest Hills Park — Attraction in Forest Hills

PARENTS / LADIES BEWARE! Creepy guy lurking around!

Been here twice. At first, it looks like a nice little spot. No clue about the dog aspects. Not a dog person. Good parking area. From a distance, the playground looks nice. I just came here to rest after a long drive and to remain nearby to continue my route after a rest. The place seems well maintained all but the restroom. It's covered in the typical tags, spray paint vandalism, and gang signs. All seems well enough. But here is the reason for the low rating: There's this guy who parks in the handicapped spot, in a dirty and beat-up blue car. First time I was here, he came up tapping on my windows and whispering really quietly. Asking all kinds of stuff that was none of his business. Then just smacks his lips a few times and walks off, but continued to stare. Really REALLY creepy!! I'm a guy and can hold my own, but this guy really gave me the willies! I left right away. Today, 2 months later, I figured that was a one time thing. So I came back after my morning route. I see that blue car. Again in the handicapped spot. As I'm walking back from the restroom, he jumps out of his car and stares me down like he wants to rob me. NOPE!!! Not...

The dog parks are small and sloping. They are covered with wood chips which collect at the far end (due to the sloping grade) of the large dog area so high, that the fence is essentially only two feet above the ground at that end.

Overall, it’s a decent small neighborhood park. There is a soccer field and a baseball diamond in the lower area. There is also some picnic tables and a playground. But it’s not a park for hiking or to walk on trails or enjoy nature really (go to Frick, Highland, North, or South Park if you want to go for a walk) and the dog park areas suck. Why are dog parks nearly always an afterthought using the worst areas of the park’s land?

I haven’t used the restrooms so I can’t comment. The playground area looks like a good place to take small children.

There is a community pool in the upper area for residents with memberships that looks decent but I haven’t used it.

Again, it’s a nice little neighborhood park. It’s just disappointing if you have a dog that...

They have several parks in one! Down the bottom they have the children's park one for smaller kids & one for older kids also a basketball court then at the top they have the dog park one section for smaller dogs and one section for bigger dogs. Everyone for the most part is pleasant and easy to get along with! They also provide doggie bags to clean up after your pet goes to the bathroom. Thee only downside is that there's a hill you have to walk down with your pet to get to the fenced in play areas which is whatever but it's filled with rocks and pebbles so it's very easy to slip if your pet pulls you. Also I didn't notice any bathrooms/porta potty ,which kinda sucks, but other than those two things I enjoy taking my grandkids to play there & also taking my friends dogs there to get...
