Confirmed from Westside 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.
Public park with picnic areas, a playground, and sports facilities, as well as wooded areas and a dog park.
What runners say about Westside Park
“Wonderful park with tennis courts, well-maintained walking trails, basketball courts, play equipment for kids, a baseball field, picnic tables, pavilion, restrooms and more.”
“The walking trails there are so peaceful & serene, that before you know it, you've walked them several times, because you're that relaxed and in the zone.”
One of my favorite parks in greenwood! It’s got it all. Has a great park, but also a paved trail mostly covered by trees and alot of it walking next to a creek. So it’s a great walk for children especially in strollers. Then you can walk to the playground, there’s a basketball court, tennis court, and baseball diamond.
This park has been a staple in my life. I come from a large family and have many memories here. As an adult I like to sit in shade and write. Nice atmosphere with plenty to do.
Wonderful park with tennis courts, well-maintained walking trails, basketball courts, play equipment for kids, a baseball field, picnic tables, pavilion, restrooms and more. There is a creek running through the park. The dog park is very nice, but you must be a paid member to use it.
Nice little park with creek and picnic tables, play set and short wooded paved trails. Dog park is awesome but it does require a pass to enter. You have to purchase it at Greenwood Community Center during business hours.
