Welcome to Northwest Community Park
About
NWCP exists as a gift from Parkside Bible Church to our community to foster health and improve quality of life as we all experience the peace and beauty of nature. NWCP had its Grand Opening the summer of 2017.
Playground
This 11,700 Sq. Ft. playground was community funded by local residents, businesses, and organizations. It was also community built by volunteers in 5 days in June 2019 under the direction of Playgrounds by Leathers and Associates. It is fully fenced in with a single entrance that features two distinct play areas for older and younger children. Parents will love the shaded areas, shaded seating area, and plenty of benches. Kids will enjoy 4 slides, swings, a climbing net, bird lookout tower, and so many play elements. This is one amazing playground!!
Discover The Park
3/4 Mile Walking Trail
NWCP has a beautiful natural setting and this 3/4 miles mulched walking trail allows you to enjoy it. A walk will give the opportunity to bird watch and observe flowers in bloom. There are trash cans and doggy bag dispensers along the path for you to help us keep the natural setting clean and beautiful.
18-Hole Disc Golf Course
Our 18-Hole course was designed by the Hendricks County Disc Golf Club. The course provides fun for the newbies and challenges for the seasoned disc golfer. Unique for the area, our course features water obstacles, interesting challenges, and some elevation. Nestled into the natural setting of the park, our course will not only provide a fun game, but a relaxing walk in nature.
Fishing Pond
The perfect place to relax is fishing our 3 acre catch and release fishing pond. It’s not uncommon to see families picnicking on the banks of the pond while fishing or to see a grandpa teaching the grandkids how to fish. You may just enjoy sitting on a waterside bench to enjoy a beautiful sunset.
