Forest Park Plaza — Local services in Forest Park

The Forest Park Plaza leaves much to be desired. Be careful driving through the parking lot there are potholes just about everywhere. Although the forest park plaza leaves much to be desired it does serve a purpose. That purpose is that the people who live close by have a place they can go to shop, get some pizza or buy some lottery tickets.

Easily noticeable from traffic (accessible to public transportation), those that witnessed this piece of property in it's prime are taken aback by the lack of care this property has received. Quite frankly, it's gone down. I've shared my opinion on forest park in other reviews, so I will limit my careful critiques. I do wish, that the city officials of Forest Park would do more to restore and maintain this area of the city. Ways the forest park officials could do that is by enlisting volunteers, establish a summer work program for teens where they help to beautify the neighborhood, reach out to investors who are community and people oriented and care about social change. Things along those lines would help. The demographic has changed entirely in this area. It is truly a melting pot, people from Central America, Nepali, Asia, various countries in Africa, Russia all share this neighborhood, doing more to build community seems like a no brainer. This area, once considered the business district deserves to be vibrant again. This area deserves to have businesses that meet the needs of the entire community, training programs, entertainment, recreation etc. The biggest questions that is floating around in the mind of people who live in Forest Park or frequent the area is, what are the plans for forest park?
