Confirmed from North Lake 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.
Cozy park adjacent to a paved rail corridor featuring a fishing lake, playground & picnic areas.
What runners say about North Lake Park
“Beautiful sites, nice play ground for the kids, a bike trail, light hiking, basketball court, pond with geese and ducks or fishing.”
“Nice quiet park for sitting by the water and fishing or walk around the pond.”
Park on the north end of Mansfield, not the greatest neighborhood but during the day not so bad. The park itself is really pretty with a beautiful pond and and a walking path around it. I am planning to do a family photo shoot here this weekend and was location scouting today.
Nice park to walk your dog without a lot of people there on week days. Ducks, geese and song birds are attracted to the pond, wooded area with large stream.
They have a mini ninja warrior course that's great!! Kids and adults love it. Walking trail around the pond.
We 😘 ved to take a group in the Bike Trail took a picnic lunch for five years.We had fishing, ducks geese and the park never a bad review.The children absolutely loved this place it was a three hour event and we went twice a week.Enjoy North Lake they have a good time the kids do.
