Confirmed from Northway 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 park with a walking trail, picnic tables, and a dirt track, plus a restroom.
What runners say about Northway Park
“We bring our kids here regularly to play, it's fairly clean, on site restroom that stays kept up, has a track for walking and running.”
“Beautiful little park next to the church, great for jogging, walking, and bringing kids to play at.”
“There's a single restroom which is convenient and the parking lot gets some tree cover so if you're lucky you can find some shade.”
“Really like this place, calm, cool and quiet.”
Great walking trail and playground. Very well kept. If you visit early in the morning there are bunnies everywhere!
It's pretty good considering it's in the middle of town. My favorite part about this park is that it has quite a few rabbits that come out during the day. My kids like the playground, and I like the trail that goes around in a big loop. The sign says it's one mile but it feels like less. No bikes allowed on it though.
We run at this park quite often it is a mile dirt track that has lots of natural shade . When we finish our run our son lives visiting the playground. The playground is great for younger children.
Pretty nice and spacey place. I like how wooded it is, especially in the summer but it is a bit spooky walking or running that trail at night. Also, if it rains, that track is muddy
