I usually head over to North Park to run the 5 mile loop. There is plenty of parking to be found in various lots around the loop. It can get crowded on weekends but finding a spot to park has never been too difficult.
The loop is good for all sorts of people. We see runners, bikers, walkers and people walking/running with dogs all the time. There is plenty of space usually for all. The only 'bad' stretch can be found on Ingomar Road where it is very tight. However, that round is now closed as they are redoing the trail there, so hopefully there will be a lot more space for all to share.
Throughout the park there are other various activities. There is a dog park for dogs to run around not on a leash. Plenty of picnic areas all around the lake as well. Near the boathouse we always see people fishing or canoeing or in kayaks. There is even a playground for the kids along with some tennis courts and some paddle courts.
Near the boathouse they have a place called OTB. It is a decent sized bar.
I enjoy coming over here as the area is very friendly to runners who would like to be outside but not running on busy roads.
