Westside Park's rebuilt playground was designed so children of all ages and abilities can play together. The official park page highlights a school-age play area with a multi-level climbing structure called Lowell Mountain and a large net climber, while project updates also note an earlier preschool-age playground, pathways, turf play areas, a picnic shelter, hand-washing station, and restroom enclosure. This makes it a strong neighborhood option for families who want newer equipment and a community-centered play space.
