#Ulog #12 -Wednesday Walk - Forrest Park in St Louis
Forrest Park in St Louis is one of my favorite places for a walk. There are miles of paths covering all areas of the Park, but I'll concentrate on a short loop around the Central Basin area. This is a statue in front of the art museum. Their art musuem is awesome, and deserves it's own post!
This one shows the pavillion on the hill. There are many paths up to the pavillion and beautiful fountains and landscaping along the way.
This is the Central Basin, you can walk all the way around it. In the upper right corner is the art museum and the statue of the horse that I show in the first picture.
That brings us in a complete circle, starting with the art museum, circling the Central Basin, and returning to the art museum.
There are enough paths, destinations, and sightseeing to do that many Wednesday walks can be found here! It is also home to the St Louis Zoo, which is a whole day unto itself. Thank you @tattoodjay for this excellent challenge to get out there and explore our world!

This is such a beautiful park and what an addition to an already gorgeous city! The pavilion up on the hill looks like something reminiscent of the Washington, DC area, the architecture more formal looking, but, then, so is this place.
I loved the statue of the horse. Do you know the story to that one?
Thanks for taking me along on a beautiful walk around your basin! I hope you have a most fabulous day!
Thank you for being a part of #SteemUSA!

@roger5120 Thank you! There are several beautiful water fountains scattered throughout the park. I could make several more Wednesday walks out of Forrest Park!
St Louis is such a beautiful city. I have never been to this park, it looks like it would be a gorgeous place to go for a Wednesday walk!

@melinda010100 The Riverfront and the St Louis Arch is also a great area for walking and picture taking. That's going to be a trip here soon. I'm about 70 mi from St Louis, but there is so much to do there.

A beautiful park <3 I think the layout seems very lovely and would make for a soothing stroll :) That huge fountain is also very pretty <3
@veryspider There are miles of walking paths and different areas. You could walk all day and never see the same thing twice. Plus the Zoo is right in the middle of it - a whole day there by itself.
