Confirmed from Westwood 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.
Family-friendly park offering baseball fields and a picnic area, plus basketball and tennis courts.
What runners say about Westwood Park
“Nice park, well maintained but would not know it was there if my son didn't have a baseball game scheduled there.”
“There is lots of benches to sit on that are nicely shaded by trees.”
This is a nice neighborhood park. Facilities include a baseball diamond, basketball and tennis courts, a large playground with swings and multiple slides, and a restroom.
A very nice park is always clean a great place to hang out walk and even have a birthday party
This was a COOL park! It has two separate playground areas and so the littler kids and the know-it-all bigger kids both have their own playgrounds. This park has amazing baseball fields but unless you have prior permission or the permits or ?? then be prepared to admire them from a distance.
My local park is awesome. 2 playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, a paved walk around baseball field for bike rides or dog walking..or human walking! Tables and gazeebo for events and lots of space to play frisbee or fly a kite. A very safe park
