Confirmed from North Alexander Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Shady playground-equipped park featuring baseball fields, volleyball nets and picnic shelters.
What runners say about North Alexander Park
“Clean restrooms 🚻 and plenty of parking available when we were visiting.”
“But as we drove in and out I could see that it is a beautiful park, great place for kids and dogs.”
This has always been a very nice, clean park. The water above the dam isn't worth fishing unless you like catching carp. Below the dam is a very different story. This is a nice place with lots of softball fields and even a water park. It's a good place to enjoy a walk or a lunch.
One of the best parks in town ! love the trail next to it and the sunsets are beautiful the river in the back 😍
