I wonder why (in times of tight budget) cities don't solicit volunteers (scouts, civic groups) to do maintenance. The ponds need some work, there are fish but I haven't had any success in three separate trips now. It would be a nice place for a picnic and bird watching- not sure it will stay on my fishing rotation. There is a lovely plaza in honor of children taken too soon.

Overall, it took our group about an hour, but we stopped to talk and take in the scenery. We saw a family using a jogging stroller. However, if you're debating using a stroller vs pack, it would probably be easier to wear younger children in a hiking pack.

It wasn't until about a month ago, I first heard about this place. I've developed a new interest in…read morehiking and this seemed to be the perfect place. It is somewhat a "hidden gem" and it's not marked on the roads so you gotta use your GPS to get you there. There is a small parking lot (for about 3-4 cars) where the trail starts. From the lot you will be greeted with plenty of signage, including the warnings and history of Homer Stemler. Be sure to take a picture of the map, which is near the trailhead. Pros: the trail, for the most part was moderately flat, with a few hills here and there. Very peaceful, and not many people were on the trails. Not really muddy, except near the start. Some signage throughout the trail. There are three (with different lengths) to choose from. Cons: Trails are poorly marked, as one could easily get lost. (Then again, getting lost is fun, right? lol) Scenery gets old, as you're basically in the woods. Don't expect anything fancy, like an overlook. But you'll find a pond! Also, Internet was sketchy on my phone so if you use Alltrails, you're gonna need it. Be sure to bring bug spray, hat, and try to wear pants instead of shorts no matter how hot it is.

I have been in a lot of places in the world and seen better, but also much worse attempts to give the citizenry a taste of nature. The park is actually much larger than it seems at first glance. There are three ponds and some drainage streams. I primarily come to fish (in reality stand near water and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, as I rarely catch anything of significance). I would guess that in 25 trips I have caught and released 10 fish (bass, sunfish, catfish). I have enjoyed every single minute doing so. -On another note- I have jokingly called this place "divorce park". There are a few playground pieces that I see the occasional over wrought dad or mom leverage to entertain (or wear out) the little ones. I see them [I have been them], sitting there contemplating the choices that put them there. Of course these days they are furiously engrossed in their phone more often than not. There is also the phenomena of secret "assignations", you see cars arrive and one person hops into the other. It is both sad and funny, considering that choice is likely to have them end up back at this park...with the aforementioned kids and the regrets. I also see the signs of drug use/ drug buys (I've travelled the world, and lived in Baltimore for years). This place is no worse than anywhere else, I am not saying it is dangerous...it is just a reality. I guarantee there is drug activity at the bright and shiny O'Fallon sports megaplex. I have come to the conclusion that if you are at this park and not fishing, hiking, frisbee golfing, walking a dog - you are "crime-ing" or sinning...LOL
