I’ve been living in Forest Park for over 20 years. The area is very family oriented. Great school, parks and community centers for children. Clayton County Court House, Jail, Firestations , and Police Stations all within 10-15 minutes from each other. Fast food restaurants, Walmart and Kroger all near residential areas. There’s a farmer’s market and a Sam’s club. The people in the area are very polite and helpful. Highly recommend moving to this area if you’ve already established a family. Also good for bachelors and people looking for work.
The Councilmembers are constantly arguing or being disrespectful to each other at meetings. Very unprofessional, discouraging when attending meetings. The streets have lots of litter and the downtown/main street area has been abandoned for many years. Lots of promises to clean up area but non fulfilled. Wanting to waste tax payer money on free alcohol during events.
I have been living in Forest Park for a very long time. Essentially, I grew up here after moving from Florida and it has been nothing but great memories. I met my first best friend in this city, was introduced to my first job in this area, and met so many amazing people here. My neighbors and I are like family because we always help each other when we are in need. I have also been blessed to meet such caring instructors from my school who have provided me with endless opportunities. It may not be the ideal neighborhood that you see in the movies, but the external appearance doesn't matter when the love is there.
