I love this park. Don't know what I would do without it. It forces you to finish your workout going around the lake

LOVE Creve Coeur Park, I've been walking/jogging there for the past couple years...once around the lake is almost 4 miles so you get a great workout =) Also they have a great bike path that goes up along the Page extension to the Katy Trail.

I love this park! The trail is long enough you can really get a good workout in just walking around once.

There is a Diabetes Walk at Creve Coeur Lake Park on October 18, 2008. Is this the same park?

Chef Meg's Roasted Beet Salad
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

Beets are an underrated vegetable. They're sweet and flavorful. If you think you don't like them, try them in this recipe. Roasting brings out the beets' natural sweetness, and the feta offers a nice, salty contrast.
TIP: Buy your beets with the greens still attached--it's great way to check for freshness and the greens can be used for another recipe. Full Recipe
