Confirmed from Northeast Community 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.
City park with soccer and baseball fields, a playground, and trails for walking or biking.

Beautiful park with great walking paths, connects to the Linear Park trail for people wanting to go for longer walks/runs. Saw 2 baby skunks this morning.
I love it here, it's a good place to hangout, there's a playground, a big open field, restrooms, baseball fields, and a trail that surrounds the whole park, with offshoot trails going all around, Picnic areas with grills and rooftos. Good place to be!
Great place to bring young kids to play on play ground equipment. They have soccer practices and games here. There is a softball feild as well. Nice trail for walking or biking around the park.
Brilliantly beautiful day for a lovely walk on a lovely trail❣ Found a geocache while admiring the old growth trees❣
