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.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“Wonderful park with tennis courts, well-maintained walking trails, basketball courts, play equipment for kids, a baseball field, picnic tables, pavilion, restrooms and more.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“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.

★★★★★ — Amber , Sep 2023

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.

★★★★★ — Susan , Oct 2022

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.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🐕 Dog-friendly 18 mentions

“Oh, and they have a pretty decent dog park, so if you're looking to have a relaxing day with your fur baby, it's an excellent spot for them to have fun and be a dog.”
