The last forest stage, old growth, is reached after 250 years and includes many snags, downed and dead trees, and fallen logs. Timber-cutting and fires reduced old growth in Forest Park to "almost nothing"[32] by 1940, and most of the forest has not yet attained this stage. Patches exist near Macleay Park and further west near Germantown Road and Newton Road.[32] The largest tree in Forest Park is a Douglas-fir near the Stone House, the remains of a former public restroom near Balch Creek. It is 242 feet (74 m) high, and the trunk is 17.3 feet (5.3 m) in circumference.[33]
Among the prominent wildflowers are Hooker's fairy bells, vanilla leaf, evergreen violet, and trillium.[34] Invasive species include English ivy, European holly, clematis, morning glory, and Himalayan blackberry.[35] Citizen groups such as the No Ivy League.[36] and The Forest Park Conservancy engage in projects to remove ivy, maintain trails, and plant native species
