We knew this was going to be a great park when we saw the entrance:
That's not just one entrance, that's three! You know it's going to be good when it splits up like that right away. Anyhow, we chose the entrance with the bike jump:
We didn't have bikes with us, but we managed.
That is not even close to all that this park has to offer... there's a tennis court that's entirely green!
Tennis courts look a lot better without the orangey stuff if you ask me. The green ground was also really warm. The sun had only been out for a few hours at this point. It really doesn't take much to heat up this surface, making it a great place to hang out on a colder sunny day.
But wait, there's more!
Now that is a beautiful playground. They don't make playgrounds like this any more, but this one is somehow in perfect condition. It's a three structure set: the one in the picture, a shorter platform with a slide that the picture is taken from, and a playhouse. It might just be me and my 90's kid heart, but I am in love with this playground. It is actually made of wood!
There's also a trail leading off into a forested area, but we ran out of time to explore that part of the park. But we'll get around to it. Without even seeing the forested part, we are sure that Westwood Park is worth returning to. I can't wait to see what's in those trees, run across the bike jump again, and visit my new favorite playground.

Good: bike jump, trails, playground, tennis court
Bad: inconvenient location (lucky locals)
