Confirmed from Westmont 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.
Basic park with a children's playground and picnic tables.
What runners say about Westmont Park
“So many things to play on, clean areas and safe”
“I love this park because its quiet and has open field's for your kids to play football or soccer or if you have a dog its great for them to run around.”
I love this park because its quiet and has open field's for your kids to play football or soccer or if you have a dog its great for them to run around. Or if you just want to be alone and fly a kite or read a book. Its a great place for all the above.
Running north to south, this linear park under overhead power lines, which transmission towers hold, is connected to other named ones. The flat, long, grassy area is quiet, except for the subtle electrical buzzing overhead, and includes a playground.
New playground, a few picnic tables and open fields for playing. Very little shade and no bathrooms. It's in a quiet residential area, with all the trees and asphalt paths, it feels like the backwoods in a good way.
