This park is a gem!! Best local park for trail running or hiking if you live in the Belleville or surrounding areas. The paths aren’t labeled the best and can be a bit confusing as far as which little paths branch out, but that’s part of the fun, right? There are two hills in the main open part of the park that are great for hill repeats. The park is well-maintained and there’s even a historic log cabin from the 1800s preserved and clearly taken care of. If you are looking to get away from the chaos without having to drive far away, then this is the place!

Due to some mechanical issues with our RCs, it was a short trip. But I see a big potential for RC Crawlers at the Pleasant Ridge park. Ill be back, and hope to see the RC scene grow there like at has up in Troy!

Surprisingly nice park by route 159. Beautiful and nature trails. Wish the trails could be better marked.

The dogs absolutely love the trails.

Nice small park with hiking. Terrain is a little rough.

Nice quiet park with some short trails. Excellent place for metro east residents to get in a short hike after a workday. The trail system winds along a series of watersheds and creeks in thick woods. There is even a little waterfall.

Love this park and trails. My dogs love to explore and run around and have an awesome time. For me its relaxing being in nature!

I actually didnt know about this park..but it was nice and relaxing

Wonderful walk through nature. Fun trails and things to see! Btw I love trees!

Lovely park located between Caseyville and OFallon, with an old log home, several picnic shelters and a playground (all currently closed due to the Covid-19 concerns), plus an interesting trail with nice elevation changes and several bridges over a small creek. However, trail lacks signage so was rather confusing. Our family group ended up backtracking since we couldnt find the loop, and we heard several other groups bushwhacking their own trail.

Absolutely amazing!!! I love it. If you like real hiking its the place to go. Up and down hills. Across creeks. Over wooden bridges. All dirt paths. I take my dogs and go for hours.

Nice and clean park dog friendly

Actual hiking trails. Very doable and easy for someone with general experience with trails, yet a lot more exciting than a lot of the “PG” trails in the area. Might have just become my favorite place to go. Loved it.

During winter its a great place to take the kids sledding! And during the summer its great for renting one of their reasonably priced pavilions and throwing a BBQ!

Nice location. Park is used by many dog walkers.

Great park! Love the views

Great little park, would like to explore more!!!!

All my favorite K9 friends and their owners hang out there. Great trails too.

Nice park. Clean. Nice hiking trails.

I love the trails there so fun! and it feels like im in the forest!

Beautiful, well kept park with plenty of space for picnics, parties, and trails for hiking. Dog friendly, but you have to clean up after your animal.

Great place to ride mountain bikes. Not the longest trails. This is kinda cool because it allows you to meals 2-3 laps. This way if you need water or to make a tweet on your bike you can. Strains are super fun and flow very well. Trails are maintained nicely. With roughly five miles this is a great place for some one who is new or someone who wants to get a bunch of miles in.

Clean, quiet, beautiful park not too far from the main drag! Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon here and will definitely be returning the next time we pass through.

A-maz-ing!!! Cant believe I didnt know this place was here! It truly is a hidden gem! The trails are great as have routes that are easier for a beginner like me but also some more strenuous routes it seems. I avoided those for now but Ill explore them eventually!

Great park

Very large park with pavilions, playgrounds, and a beautiful nature trail.

Quiet, safe and a great place to bring family, kids, pets, etc.

Great place for walk, run and dog walk.

This place was amazing, I’m already excited to come back. There’s tons of open space and trails, perfect place for letting your dog have some fun and beautiful scenery.

Muddy and hilly. Too many dogs off leash.

Very good park for hiking, sledding, or even walking your dogs. There are multiple pavilions for hosting birthdays or other get togethers.

Love this park clean and quiet

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY AT A BEAUTIFUL PARK.

Pretty cool park

Awesome park

I love hiking their. Its beautiful and amazing. Its so adventurous. Its good for familys and friends and couples.

It is nice but dog poop everywhere

The park itself is really nice with lots of trails to hike and beautiful forest scenery

A great place for picnic in a little hiking

The park was nice and clean.

It was a nice park and it has walking trails.

Dont roll down the hill without taking into account the fact youll be suffering a bit after. But definitely do roll down the hill... CaReFulLy

One of the best hiking trails in fairview

Absolutely lovely and the lawns are maintained but the trail maps are vandalized as of October 2016. As far as I have explored there is NO poison vegetation that would cause contact dermatitis. Which is dope as all hell.Quick point: the water fountains, they are terrible.

I haven’t been able to find a playground in this park if there even is one, but it is very hilly which makes sledding in winter time a blast.

Knap-in was great.

The best park to take your dog. We drive 45 minutes just to visit it every week.

I love it here.

Lots of fields, hills, and trees. Playgrounds are nice. Pavilions are standard with metal tables.

Normally nice but obviously being neglected by city staff.

Cool place sucks if youre a mushroom hunter. Nothing good here.

A gorgeous view in a peaceful envioronment. Its truly a little piece a paradise!

Best sledding in our area!

Beautiful park n great place to take your dog.

A Very beautiful historical place to go hiking

Beautiful scenery, Kinsella family donated the family homestead to Fairview Heights, IL to which it became a park. Has a persimmon tree, great dog park, many trails, hilly, great picnic shelters and playground.

Great place to walk around. Lots of open space.

They rock. Trails in the woods lots of open areas. No leash. Bathrooms are seasonal.

The best park around to take your dogs off leash

Awesome trails...bathrooms closed during winter.

One of my favorite places in the world.

Best place to bring your dogs.

Neat park. Neat trails.

Pleasant surprise. Loved the fruits,vegetables and herbs.

Cabin is boarded up. Several pavilions by parking, did not do trails.
