A St. George community
Living in Forest Park.
Type "Forest Park St. George" into a search bar and half the results point to a city park two blocks away, not the subdivision. This one is real: five phases platted between 1995 and 1999 off 1700 East, in the older Middleton area on the city's northeast side, next to Middleton Park.

Life in Forest Park
An established plat in the older side of town.
Forest Park is a recorded subdivision off 1700 East on St. George's northeast side, in the general area longtime locals still call Middleton, the town that predated St. George's growth north of the freeway before it was absorbed into the city. Washington County's plat records show Forest Park recorded in five phases between October 1995 and July 1999, so this is an established, in-town neighborhood rather than a new build.
Middleton Park sits right next to it, at 1700 East and 800 North, a city park with a playground, basketball courts, and picnic space. That park is the neighborhood's shared front yard. It is a separate thing from the "Forest Park" city park across town near 1800 East and 1030 North, which is the mix-up that sends buyers to the wrong side of the city if they are not careful with the search.
I have not walked every street inside the platted boundary yet. What I can tell you with confidence: it is a genuine recorded plat, it carries five distinct phases spanning most of the 1990s, and the honest way to see what is actually available right now is the live gallery at the top of this page, filtered to the subdivision itself rather than the wider Middleton area.
Neighborhood highlights
What is actually confirmed here.
Four things I can confirm from the county plat records and the surrounding area, without guessing at what I have not verified.
Five phases, 1995 to 1999
Washington County's recorded plats show Forest Park built out in five distinct phases, the earliest recorded October 1995 and the last recorded July 1999, all under subdivision code FPK.
Middleton Park next door
Middleton Park, at 1700 East and 800 North, sits directly adjacent with a playground, basketball courts, and picnic space, a genuine walk-to amenity rather than a drive across town.
The older Middleton area
This corner of St. George was its own town, Middleton, before it was absorbed into the city. It carries an established, in-town feel rather than a fringe subdivision on the newest edge of growth.
A name shared with a city park
A separate "Forest Park" city park sits across town near 1800 East and 1030 North. Confirm you are looking at the subdivision, not the park, before you commit to a search or a showing.
Homes & lots
What you will find on the ground.
I would not pretend to know the exact home styles, square footage, or lot sizes at Forest Park without pulling the current MLS data street by street, because a subdivision recorded across five phases over four years can hold real variation between its earliest section and its last. What the county plat confirms: this is a single-family residential plat, not a mixed-use or multifamily development, spanning roughly 880,000 square feet of platted land across the five phases combined.
The best way to understand what is actually here right now is the live gallery at the top of this page. Those listings are fed straight from the MLS and filtered to homes tagged inside the Forest Park subdivision boundary, not the broader Middleton area around it. If nothing is showing, that tells you something too, a subdivision built out entirely by 1999 with no active listings simply means low turnover, not no inventory.
A subdivision finished in 1999 does not mean a subdivision that looks like 1999. Four years of phased building means real range from one street to the next.
Errands & drive times
Errands, measured in minutes.
Forest Park's location off 1700 East puts it inside St. George's older core, not out on the newer edges. Times below are measured from the 1700 East and 800 North corner at Middleton Park, the confirmed landmark closest to the subdivision.
| The errand | Where it happens | From Middleton Park |
|---|---|---|
| Shopping and dining | Red Cliffs Mall, 1770 Red Cliffs Drive | ~8 min |
| Healthcare | St. George Regional Hospital, 1380 E Medical Center Dr | ~10 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | Interstate 15 via Red Cliffs Drive | ~7 min |
| Dinner downtown | Ancestor Square, Main Street dining | ~9 min |
Farther out, the St. George day-trip map opens up fast from this side of town: Snow Canyon State Park runs roughly 20 minutes northwest, Sand Hollow State Park about 25 minutes east, and Zion National Park's south entrance about 45 minutes. The full day-trip map lives in the St. George guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Forest Park is in the Washington County School District. I was not able to confirm the exact elementary, intermediate, middle, and high school assignment for this specific plat against the district's current boundary map this session, and I would rather tell you that plainly than guess at a name. Washington County School District uses a four-tier system: elementary covers grades K-5, intermediate covers grades 6-7, middle covers grades 8-9, and high school covers grades 10-12.
Confirm the current assignment for any Forest Park address you are serious about directly with the district's boundary tool or transportation office. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself.
I cover the bigger education picture, including Utah Tech University, in the St. George guide.
Two Forest Parks
The name problem, solved once.
This is the thing that makes Forest Park different from its neighbors, and it is worth walking through once so it never trips you up again. St. George has two places called Forest Park: a recorded residential subdivision off 1700 East in the Middleton area, and a city park with a playground near 1800 East and 1030 North, roughly a mile to the north. They share a name and a general side of the city, and nothing else.
Search engines, and even some listing sites, blend the two together because the string "Forest Park St. George" matches both. If you pull up a map result for the park and start pricing homes "near" it, you are drawing conclusions about the wrong streets. The subdivision's plat boundary, confirmed through Washington County's GIS records, sits south of the park, centered closer to 1150 North and 1700 East.
The practical fix is simple: use the subdivision filter in the MLS, not a general map search, and confirm any address against the platted boundary before you assume it is inside Forest Park at all.
How I tell them apart
- The subdivision is off 1700 East, roughly at 1150 North, next to Middleton Park.
- The city park called Forest Park sits near 1800 East and 1030 North, about a mile north.
- The MLS subdivision field, filtered to Forest Park, is more reliable than a generic map search of the name.

What locals know
Notes from a Southern Utah agent.
After twenty-plus years in Southern Utah real estate, here is what I would tell a friend about a subdivision like Forest Park, where getting the name and the boundary right comes before anything else.
-
Confirm the plat boundary, not just the neighborhood name. Middleton is a broad area. Forest Park is one specific plat inside it. A listing that says "near Forest Park" is not the same as a listing inside it.
-
A subdivision finished by 1999 is not one uniform block. Four years and five phases means real differences in lot layout and street feel from the first section to the last. Walk more than one street before you judge the whole plat.
-
Older, established plats trade on fewer comps. When the MLS does not hand you thirty active listings and a builder brochure, you pull the sold history yourself and work the comparison street by street.
-
Middleton Park is a real amenity, not filler copy. A park you can walk to changes how a street shows and how it lives day to day. I weigh it as a genuine feature, not a throwaway line.

Buying in Forest Park
Forest Park is a recorded subdivision on St. George's northeast side, platted in five phases between 1995 and 1999 off 1700 East, in the Middleton area near Middleton Park at 1700 East and 800 North. It is a different place from the city park that shares the Forest Park name near 1800 East and 1030 North, so confirm the subdivision boundary before you search.
Forest Park is platted for single-family residential lots, recorded in five phases from 1995 to 1999. Exact home styles, square footage, and lot sizes vary by phase and by street, so I would check the current MLS listings before assuming what is available.
Forest Park is in the Washington County School District. I have not been able to confirm the exact elementary, intermediate, middle, and high school assignment for this specific plat against the district's current boundary map, so I am not going to guess. Confirm the current assignment for any address you are serious about directly with Washington County School District.
Pricing moves with the broader St. George market and with the specific phase, street, and home condition. The most honest way to get a current number is to look at what is active and what has sold recently inside the platted subdivision, not the wider neighborhood. I can pull that for you anytime.
Not exactly. Middleton is the older, broader area of northeast St. George that was its own town before St. George annexed it. Forest Park is one recorded subdivision inside that broader Middleton area, platted in the 1990s off 1700 East.
