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.

Very clean, kept up well. Dogs enjoyed the walk, we enjoyed the walk. All around great place to go, and enjoy being outside.
Me and my boyfriend love going there to sit and eat lunch. This is a beautiful shaded park with plenty of places to walk or hike. I love the squirrels here. They are so adorable. They come up to me a lot. I have got many great photos of them beside the car.
The trails through the woods are fairly easy for most people, I am disabled & found them a little tough. But all in all a very nice park, with a nice little fishing pond-- I like that. Planning on making a trip there tomorrow while the weather is nice. Looks like now that I know its there, I'll be going quite often!
I've had my sons bday party here a few times. I really like it because the shelter is in the shade. My son's bday is in August so having the shaded shelter is great. Plenty of room for us all. With lots of tables. Also, lots of places to park. They always like to walk down to the pond. So, that's good too.
