Confirmed from North 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.
Recreational park with sports fields, a walking trail & outdoor hockey rink, plus a large playscape.
What runners say about North Park
“Nice, well kept park that has multiple fields for soccer, and an inline hockey rink.”
“It's great for getting the energy out and always so peaceful.”
This is a great park. One of the better ones in the area that we have found. It has plenty of things for the kids to play on, with 2 separate play areas. Everything seems to be kept up with maintenance wise and clean.
This is a great playground which was large and spacious. My child had plenty of space to run around with multiple slides and bridges to play on. We went in the morning so there wasn't many other kids but even if there were it wouldn't have been that crowded because it was so large.
My daughter and I enjoying some time at North Park this afternoon. Such a nice park with a walking trail that I use to take my beloved dog Precious on walks. A great park for young and old alike.
I've got a very energetic 3yr old loo. It's great for getting the energy out and always so peaceful. Great walking trail
