Founded in 1956, Forest Park was designed as a master-planned community, growing quickly into a thriving city. Incorporated as a village in 1961 and officially becoming a city in 1968, it has always been guided by a vision of innovative development and strong community ties.

Nestled within 3,800 acres, Forest Park seamlessly blends residential neighborhoods with commercial hubs while preserving the surrounding greenbelt, ensuring a balance between urban convenience and natural beauty. Conveniently located just 14 miles north of downtown Cincinnati, it is the second-largest city in Hamilton County, home to over 21,000 residents across 8,000 households.

Parking is available on site.
