Forest Park Village is a commercial district located on Clairmont Avenue in the Forest Park neighborhood of Birmingham. Although the district dates to the first development of Forest Park in the 1910s, the name was introduced in October 2008. It was chosen to foster a community spirit among merchants and to market the area by allusion to the well-known commercial "villages" of Mountain Brook.
