great place to ride, ton's of trails, some drops, fastnflowy stuff, etc. used to be off limits to bikes but i rode out there at least three times per week and never saw the horse-mounted cops *in* the park. they usu stayed on the road through the park. and, uhh....lots of lonely cats lookin for other lonely cats if you know what i mean.
The park you are describing is Forest Park. It is a nice place to mountain bike.
