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.
City park with trails, a playground, and forest, plus kid-friendly hiking.
What runners say about North City Park
Never too crowded. Always fun to walk through. This is a great place to take your dog and go run through the trees. Definitely worth checking out 😉
Great place! Boating. Jogging, walking and people watching! Green grass and awesome trees.
I love this little city park. My dog loves walking the trails, he can't walk by without going into the park.
Good little wooded park with a few trails to blaze... Dog friendly makes it 5 stars
