History and Beauty of Forest Park’s Pagoda

Forest Park

Sunrise in Forest Park. Every fall the trees surrounding the Pagoda in front of the Park’s outdoor Municipal Opera turn a bright red providing a stunning backdrop in front of the bandstand. Located on a small island within Pagoda Lake, the original wooden bandstand that existed at this site was built for the grand opening of Forest Park in 1876. The St. Louis Municipal Opera (Muny) is the largest and oldest outdoor theater in the United States.
