Northlake has a lot of nice parks including the Sky Zone Trampoline Park and Franklin Park. Northlake has all the restaurants, stores, and other retail establishments needed to live comfortably in this small town and if you live here you know that there's nothing that you could ever need or want that you can't find here.
