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.

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 😉

★★★★★ — Aaron , Jul 2019

Great place! Boating. Jogging, walking and people watching! Green grass and awesome trees.

★★★★★ — Robert , Oct 2018

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

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.
