Child visitors to the park could also take free rides in goat carts or go roller skating. In the summer the [[Forest Park Theater]] put on performances of various shows, even attracting Sarah Bernhardt to perform in ''Camille''.
-The park became the site of the Pulaski County Fair during World War I. In 1916 the fair departed for [[Fair Park]], now known as [[War Memorial Park]]. In 1921 Forest Park was purchased by the [[White City]] amusement company which built a pool where the [[Heights Theater]] now stands. The pool was taken over by the [[Little Rock Recreation Commission]] in 1934 and remodeled. The pool was torn out in 1939.
