Confirmed from Northwest Park Annex'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.
Neighborhood park featuring a playground for kids and tranquil trails that often follow the creek.
What runners say about Northwest Park Annex
“Please clean it or pay someone to come out and clean the bathrooms since you city workers don't want to get your hands dirty!”
“A lot of it is shaded and on a paved path.”
“It's a nice easy walk, lots of squirrels & great people on the trail.”
Great place to walk an easy trail. One of my favorite ways to de-stress.
I love coming here for a great walk to destress, exercises, or hang out with a friend. There's a nice trail, with some smaller trails hidden in the woods. It's a great amenity for the surrounding areas.
I like the nice paved loop trail for just a simple walk along the creek with lots of places to actually get down into the creek to the water the kids love it here as well as the dogs! There are even some side trails through the woods now as well.
Nice spot. Close to home. My dog enjoys it. Connecting trails that add an additional 3/4 - 1 mile.... Paved and un- paved, single track etc. Adequate parking. Bathroom on site. Covered picnic area.

“A lot of it is shaded and on a paved path.”
