Westlake Reserve Playground

The lake is genuinely the star here — it’s calm, the birdlife is surprisingly good, and the walking path around it makes for a easy loop with the kids or the dog. There’s a sandbox that younger ones tend to gravitate toward, and picnic tables mean you can actually sit down and eat something instead of hovering awkwardly. It’s the kind of reserve that doesn’t try too hard, which is honestly why locals keep coming back.
