Lovely park that makes a nice location for a stroll or sit-down. There's a children's playground and a water fountain within the park, and a walking trail that runs straight through it.

This is a lovely nature trail that runs through beautiful woodland next to Ruth Park Golf Course. The woods are actually home to the last large stand of an oak/hickory hardwood forest in the St. Louis area, and you can find it right in the middle of the city. A wonderful way to escape the hustle and bustle of busy city life.
