This park property was originally purchased by the city of Camas in 1958. Design and construction took place in 1960-1961. In 2007, the city rededicated Goot Park to celebrate completed park improvements, almost 50 years after its establishment. In 2010, additional improvements were made to the park through a Community Development Block Grant fund. Improvements included; new ADA compliant restrooms, off-street parking, drinking fountain, bicycle rack, new park signage, pathways and a new swing set.
The land for Forest Home park was acquired in 1946 by the City of Camas and includes two little league fields, concession stands, a half basketball court, picnic tables and playground areas.
Thanks to a grant from Parks Foundation of Clark County and a donation from Lacamas Little League, new playground equipment was installed at Forest Home Park in 2012. This equipment includes slides, fun bars and climbing bars.
This park is part of the 119-acre Fallen Leaf Lake Park system.
