| no partners | | A nice run through Forrest Park--a sprawling park in the St. Louis metro area, which was the sight of the 1904 Worlds Fair ("Meet me in St. Louie, Louie, meet me at the fair ...."), which lasted for nine months. The fair celebrated the centennial of the Louisiana Purchase and featured the wireless telephone, x-ray machine, and electric streetcars.
The park is currently home to the St. Louis zoo, and offers lots of open and forested recreation opportunities.
Great for an in-town run, walk, bike, or canoe/kayak on the ponds.
While in town, we also visited the famous Gateway National Park, and hit up a ball game a Busch Stadium, which offers impressive views of the arch and downtown St. Louis. |
