South of Delmare in the wealthier neighborhood is Forest Park, home to the St. Louis Zoo, a history museum, a golf course, and an ice skating rink.

  • Role: subject
  • In the video: Named as the well-equipped park south of Delmar Boulevard. The narrator argues that nearness, not mere availability, matters, so being allowed to visit Forest Park does not make up for the poor parks north of the divide.
  • Why it matters: It is the well-resourced half of the comparison.
