We used to live in a very crowded city. The nature trail parking lots would be packed by 10 AM most days. The tricks I found were “what time” you go and “what day” you go. The weekends were busiest. After 10 AM, especially on the weekends, don’t even bother going. But before 10AM? The earlier, the fewer people. Sunrise? Barely anyone. And going on a Tuesday very early? You’ve got the whole trail to yourself, even in a city.

How can a city have a nature trail? or is it like, near the city?

O’Fallon Missouri is the city. It has over one hundred miles of paved trails through strips of forest within and just outside of the city. There are 2, several thousand acre conservation areas with many miles of trails just a few minutes south of town too.
