Comments From Other Members:
I love walking the trails of Northwestway Park. I haven't been there in a while but hopefully after this week I can return and walk regularly. Do you walk mornings or evening- I'd love to join you sometimes if that is okay with you.
Since 2 of my walking friend and I live on the west side, this is where we will meet to walk. It is a great central place. We walk at least 2 times around the trail and sometimes 3- if time permits- so it is 3.2 to 4.8 mile walks. Not too bad! I wish we would do it more often!
