Ruth Park Nature Trail — Attraction in University City

This is a quiet, almost secret park that I've been going to since I was little. The trails are beautifully shaded (which is great when it's a hot Missouri day), with trails perfect for walking your dog or taking your little ones. It's a hidden gem for locals! So whether you want to go by yourself (it's very safe), bring your children, pets or both, this is a beautiful little park with a big personality! Shaded, quiet, paved trails and un-paved trails....this is a great park to spend a few hours at or host a gathering with friends. I highly recommend this park for anyone looking...
