About the Venue

John West Park is a practical neighborhood park in Ocean View with playground equipment, open space, picnic tables, grills, and a reservable pavilion. The official town page also notes nearby restroom access at the rear of Town Hall and a walking trail next to the play areas. It is a simple, low-friction stop for local families who want a quick outdoor play session rather than a large destination outing.
