Confirmed from Northgate 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.
Park featuring several baseball/softball & soccer fields, tennis courts, a playground & restrooms.
What runners say about Northgate Community Park
“Very nice park although it has a weird sort of smell in the air around it and the bathrooms are not very clean.”
“Watched a church softball game on a beautiful day here at Northgate Park!”
Spacious park with room for a lot of people. Plenty of baseball diamonds, playgrounds, open spaces, and tennis courts. walking path for walking the dog, and porta pottys so the park adventure doesn't have to end fast. The park is very clean, and the people are friendly.
The park is huge and has different activities. You can walk, run, play tennis or baseball, volleyball, soccer, and much more. It does need a little bit of remodeling in some public areas, but overall, it is in good condition. Very dog friendly with multiple dogs at all times.
