We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Northeast Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess.

I drive down to Florida a lot and try to plan new park stops for me and my dog when we go. This is a pretty good park. A lot of the space is used for athletics, but there is a playground and a walkable path. The parking lot is large and the park is clean. The area feels safe.
The playground is open again! Yay! Great walking/running trail. Good batting cages. Great baseball park. All the grass is cut to perfection. The whole sports complex is very clean and well maintained! We always have a great time there in the sunshine!
