I dunno where you're mapping but I've mapped it out again and only get a 500m difference in distance and a 3m savings in elevation gain. I used ridewithgps and here's the screenshots. I don't know what an actual path would end up looking like but I dunno that the topography would favour a straight line across the park so the distance saved might be less, especially if saving trees is a factor.
I think the risk of getting hit by a truck on Floral Cr or Doon is really low so I'd rather see the limited cycling budget spend on more problematic areas in the city first.
I don't really even like golf so don't think it's about the that... I could wave a magic wand I'd want the city re-naturalize it and turn it into something like monarch woods or steckle woods; more people would probably use it. If that ever happened, then a path makes sense.
