We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of North Farms Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about North Farms Park
“They partnered with the local library to set up a StoryWalk where kids can read it different pages of storybooks while walking down an easy trail.”
Well what can I say. This is one, if not our most favorite parks! They have something for everyone. First off, North Farms Park has a well kept open area with a soccer field, a picnic pavilion with tables and a brand new kiddie playground. North Farms Park also has nice trail with a beautiful hanging bridge.
I like this park because the hiking trails are great to check out. They even have an easy path for younger kids and there is a book placed along the trail so they can read while they hike
Nice playground areas, same location but one for younger kids and one for older, with different kinds of swings in between. My toddler enjoys the many dandelions and climbing the different play structures especially. We've also walked the trail in the woods a little, which is chill but nice. Mostly one-person width.
I didn't know there were trails! Nice place to walk. The kids story along the trail was cute.
