About Forest Park

Forest Park is one of Kannapolis's established mid-century neighborhoods, sitting just north of downtown along Mooresville Road. Brick ranches and split-levels from the 1950s–1970s line tree-canopied streets, with most original cedar-shake and 3-tab asphalt roofs now well past their service life. Forest Park sits within Forest Park Elementary's catchment and offers easy access to the NC Research Campus, Atrium Health Cabarrus, and Lake Concord.
