Confirmed from Northwood Trails Access 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.
Park offering trails for biking and walking, in addition to playground equipment.
What runners say about Northwood Trails Access Park
“Beautiful peaceful and fun to watch the big trains chug past on the opposite side of the creek.”
This is a great place for families with small children. They just updates the play ground equipment, there are picnic tables nearby and of course the walking trail.
What a wonderful hidden gem. A beautiful park with a lovely stream running through it, with access to trails. A nice little playground that's brand new too
Johnson County may not have the best bike lanes for commuting, but the streamway trail system is amazing.
What a hidden gem. This area has limited parking in the main area. You can generally find a spot, but it does get crowded. This trailhead has an updated park for 5-12 year olds. It had two park benches and one grill. There are two large fields to fly kites or run around.
Trail conditions & character
“Favorite local trail to hike with family, very well maintained and has a nice playground near the parking area.”
