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.
Neighborhood, clean park with playground and picnic tables and walking track, plus swings.
What runners say about Westwood Park
“They also have restrooms but you might want to bring some sanitizer and paper towles, not very clean!”
“Quiet, lots of play areas for kids of different ages, plenty of benches, covered picnic area, bathrooms, walking or jogging track.”
One of the next best parks that Wilson NC has and it’s not too big of space. I enjoy walking the track when my kids play on the playground. The park is on a dead end road so you will feel safe with your kids playing at the park while you walking or exercising.
Nice play area for the kids and a walking track around the park. They have a covered shelter with tables for picnics or birthday parties. They also have restrooms but you might want to bring some sanitizer and paper towles, not very clean!
One of our favorite lil go to spots nice shaded areas and never really packed conveniently located round great shopping center
This is a small little Park in the middle of the neighborhood. It is very nice and clean, and has a nice little walking trail that loops the play area. We just came here to eat the lunch that we bought and it was a very nice experience. I could see how people would love bringing their kids here.
