Confirmed from Point 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.
Public green space with picnic & play areas plus fields for baseball & other sports.
What runners say about Point North Park
This is a really nice and quite place to walk around and take a break from one's busy life. I took a bunch of pictures but haven't deleted the bad ones yet so sorry about that but I hope they give you an idea of what the place looks like.
Great for kids with bike path and play structure . The best is the >2mile loop ideal for kids to cycle around and you can keep a watch asweas
Great place for everything from family park day to solo workout. Park has nice parking, bathroom, playground, and best of all a 1/2 mile paved loop perfect for walking and running. Also a great place to park and begin longer workouts since park entrance connects to university loop trail.
It's small, but it has a playground, a field to play in or walk around, and a simple boy& girl restroom. I like it
