About Forest Park

Forest Park is a gated single-family home community in Naples, located off Santa Barbara Boulevard near Golden Gate Community Park. Mature landscaping, sidewalks and lakes give the neighborhood an established residential feel, while its central location provides convenient access to I-75, Downtown Naples, Gulf beaches, shopping, dining and everyday services. Homes generally offer three to five bedrooms with attached garages and screened outdoor living areas, and some properties include private pools or lake views.

Forest Park offers a nice balance for buyers who want the privacy of a detached home along with shared recreational amenities. A community clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness facilities, tennis and recreational spaces provide opportunities to stay active and socialize without the golf course or mandatory club membership found in many Naples communities.

  • HOA Responsibilities Should Be Confirmed: Buyers should review current association documents to determine exactly which landscaping, lawn care, irrigation and other services are included.
  • Community Amenities and Nearby Public Amenities Are Different: Golden Gate Community Park adds substantial recreational opportunities nearby, but those facilities are not part of the Forest Park HOA.
  • Current Rules Should Be Reviewed: Leasing, pets, parking and other property-use requirements should be verified through the current association documents.
