Forest Park (French: Parc de Forest) or Vorst Park (Dutch: Park van Vorst) is a public park located in and named after the municipality of Forest in Brussels, Belgium. It was designed by Victor Besme and occupies an area of 13 hectares (32 acres).^[1]

Forest Park is adjacent to Duden Park to its south, which is home to the football ground of Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, the historical football club from the neighbouring municipality of Saint-Gilles, although the club is not located in the municipality, whose border with Forest is to the north of Forest Park.

The park is surrounded by a set of streets that connect the Avenue Albert/Albertlaan to the Avenue Wielemans Ceuppens/Wielemans Ceuppenslaan, making them part of the Greater Ring. Those streets are the Avenue des Villas/Villalaan to the north, the Avenue du Mont Kemmel/Kemmelberglaan to the east, the Avenue Besme/Besmelaan to the south and the Avenue Reine Marie-Henriette/Koningin Maria-Hendrikalaan to the south-west.
