Forest Park boasts first class dining at any number of fine eateries and pubs, and plays host to a variety of regionally attended events every year. Crowned "The best in neighborhood dining" according to a 2008 Chicago Tribune readers poll, the variety of Forest Park restaurants offer something for everyone.

Quality education, affordable homes and a close-knit, active community also make Forest Park the perfect place to raise a family. Our unique combination of charming small-town life and urban sophistication benefits large and small businesses alike.

Getting here is easy; the Metra, CTA Elevated Trains (both the Green and Blue lines) and the Eisenhower Expressway can be accessed in town.

We welcome you to our community. Come for a visit, stay for awhile. Forest Park…the best of both worlds: big city access with small town charm.

Mayor Anthony T. Calderone
