On Friday, December 13th the Forest Park Trust invited thirty park advocates to the ‘White House on the Hill,” called Oakridge, to celebrate the holidays and recognize some people who have helped keep Forest Park even greener. The building, on Forest PArk Drive between Glendale and Woodhaven was once the clubhouse for the golf course. It is now the home of the Forest Park Trust and it’s also used by the community for programs and to host parties and events. Weddings, corporate events and birthday parties are typically held in the house on weekends.
