Westwood Park Playground

Locals with kids know this quiet Westwood neighborhood spot delivers more than your typical Davis park stop. The zipline is the obvious crowd-pleaser, but the sandbox keeps the toddlers busy long enough for parents to actually sit down — and there’s real shade to do it in, not just a sad token tree. Play areas are split up sensibly for different ages, so the bigger kids aren’t constantly steamrolling the little ones. After playtime, the BBQ area and picnic tables make it easy to turn a morning at the park into a full afternoon. Restrooms are kept clean, which, honestly, matters more than people admit.
