Confirmed from North City 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.

🌳 shaded & cool 7 mentions

“Great Park with playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, and plenty of tree shade”

Another hidden gem inside the coveted North Bay Hills Community! North City Party offers a full size playground, basketball court, nice bathroom facility, pick nick area, tennis courts, and even a dog park! Also, the wonderful bike path leads you directly to the downtown area!

★★★★★ — Russell , May 2020

A great neighborhood park complete with the usual and the unexpected. The playground could use a good pressure wash, but it's in great shape otherwise. So many fun things for a toddler to do--ages 2-8.

★★★★☆ — Amber , Jun 2018

Great neighborhood park! Has a nice pavilion where you can have a party or get together. There are about three different age levels of playground equipment and a nice multi aged swing set. There's also a nice little walking trail and a large field for running around.

★★★★★ — M , Feb 2020

Very spacious park with a big playground area that includes swings, covered pavillion, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a fenced in door park. There is also a large field with baseball backstops. Restrooms and parking are also provided. The playground area is shaded and just a great place for a quiet walk

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
