Learn about the construction and rentals, including renderings of the expanded patio, outside bar, music bandstand and more 🛶 https://www.forestparkforever.org/boathouse

What's happening at the racquetball courts in Forest Park?

Prep work to install a mural at the Park's sport courts began earlier this season and exciting progress is happening this week. St. Louis-based artist Joseph Mueller is on site!

We anticipate installation will last a few weeks, weather permitting of course.

Learn more and check out the artist's renderings. 🔗 https://www.forestparkforever.org/news/2026/st-louis-artist-joseph-mueller-selected-to-install-mural-in-forest-park

"With sustainability features like geothermal wells and dozens of new trees—and a design that nods to the original mid-century architecture—the project aims to ensure that one of St. Louis’ most beloved park traditions evolves into a flexible public space for the next generation."

Opening in fall 2026, The Glade will pair a beloved skating tradition with rooftop dining, events, and spaces designed for all four seasons.
