The Forest Park Carousel, a 1903 structure steeped in history and beloved by the community, has been officially designated a city landmark following a unanimous vote by the Landmarks Preservation Commission on Tuesday. “This is tremendous news,” said Woodhaven Residents’ Block Association President Ed Wendell, who for years fought alongside other civic leaders to landmark the merry-go-round.
