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.

Playground equipment is currently unavailable as Nice New equipment is being installed! It's a great place to walk, run or ride bikes. There's a lighted basketball court, soccer fields and a lot of open area. Also dogs are welcome, on a leash. It's a nice shady place to have lunch or a party.

★★★★☆ — Brian , Aug 2021

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!

★★★★★ — Philip , Sep 2025

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.

★★★★★ — Chief , Oct 2023

Northwest park is exceptional. It is on about 7 acres and offers soccer fields, basketball courts, concrete paths and play structures. The lawns are well kept and green, there are many old trees and picnic areas. There are 2 bathrooms. It's very family friendly.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
