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.
Family-friendly park featuring a playground and softball diamonds.
What runners say about Northwest Park
I have always loved northwest park. Well they did do a recent upgrade to the playground. They took out the old one that came from highland park and put a new one in that even has 2 different rope/seat zip line. They have a covered slide and an open slide that is apart of the new play set.
My favorite park in Kokomo- even after the recent update to the playground equipment, the atmosphere has always been very peaceful and friendly. So much room to run and plenty of parking for big get togethers.
This park is right around the corner from my house so it's a great place to take my kids to run off energy! My only complaint is the bathrooms are not always the cleanest.

“It would be nice if they could fix the child highth water fountain that is clogged near the playground equipment, but other than that, I really like this park and so do my girls.”
