Confirmed from Northwest 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.
Large park with playgrounds, picnic tables, and BBQs, plus areas for basketball, and soccer.

The BEST park in town. Soccer fields, basketball courts, BBQ and picnic area, Playgrounds, walking and jogging paths, huge gazebo for parties, bunches of picnic tables and benches. On top of all that? SHADE SHADE SHADE!
Absolutely love this park. Soccer fields, 2 playgrounds, basketball full court, multiple barbecue grills, covered areas. Very clean. Everyone that i ran into here had great energy. Very big park. More than enough room to jog, run, walk, etc. Plenty of trees for shade. Bathrooms available.
