Confirmed from North Salk 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.
Clean park offering disc golf and a playground, along with paved paths and a hillside for sledding.
What runners say about North Salk Park
“Really nice frisbee golf course, well maintained paved paths, huge sled hill for winter.”
This park was so much bigger than I expected. With a nice trail to bring your dogs and or just run/walk. I also like that it’s hidden away not on busy streets.
Awesome park for kids and dogs. Nice trail around the park and very clean. They have a gated playground there too for young children under 5 years old. Definitely recommend this place 👌
Okay to turn onto bobolink even though it looks like a path. It's a driveway to the parking lot. Playground, disc golf and waking path.
Nice park, smaller then I expected but a open, yet tightly packed frolf course. Looked like a nice sled hill and a nice walking path
