I've geocached there a few times, it's a very nice park for hiking, pretty hilly at some times too. The trails are in decent shape, I think it's underutilized though, probably because it's so close to Forest Park-
This first cache is apparently on a brand new trail-

I went this afternoon. It's quite nice. There are multiple trials and loops, but I took the trail the went straight south, figuring I could just turn around and go back and no worry about getting lost. Turns out there are maps along the way, so getting lost wouldn't have been a problem. I'll try some of the loops next time, hoping they're not quite as hilly because my hour long hike damn near killed me.

Here's a few photos.
