Westfield Village Park

Park Overview

Nestled in Westminster, Colorado, the 25-acre Westfield Village Park is a breath of fresh air in the suburban landscape. The park was created through collaboration between the City of Westminster and Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District. With well-kept grounds and plenty of shade trees, it's a pleasant spot to spend an afternoon outdoors.

Recreational Amenities

The heart of the park features sprawling green spaces good for relaxing or playing. Soccer fields and baseball/softball diamonds dot the landscape, hosting everything from intense tournament play to casual weekend games. If you're not in the mood for organized sports, these open areas are just as excellent for a spontaneous frisbee toss or a leisurely picnic.

A smooth, paved walking path meanders through the park, connecting its various attractions while offering a pleasant route for your morning jog or evening stroll. The trails that trace the perimeter of the main fields provide a peaceful walking experience away from the more active zones.

Got a competitive streak? The park's tennis court awaits your best serve, while the basketball court stands ready for a pickup game or some solo practice with your jump shot.

Playground Facilities

Little ones have plenty of room to burn off energy here. The park thoughtfully provides two separate playground areas - a gentler space designed specifically for toddlers, and a more adventure-filled zone for children ages 5-12 who are ready for bigger challenges.

You'll appreciate the rubber flooring beneath the play equipment instead of traditional wood chips - much easier on knees and clothes! Kids can swing, slide, climb, and even zip line their way through these engaging play spaces.

A particularly nice touch is the water fountain that includes a water bottle refill station right near the playground. Parents can relax on strategically placed seating that offers clear sightlines to keep an eye on the kids while they play.

Picnic and Gathering Areas

Planning a family reunion or birthday celebration? The park offers two pavilions equipped with multiple picnic tables and charcoal grills that make outdoor gatherings a breeze. Some metal picnic tables nestle under the pavilions for those seeking shade, while sun-lovers can opt for the tables placed in brighter spots.

These covered areas provide welcome respite on hot days and serve as perfect gathering spots for sharing meals or simply taking a moment to relax.

Visitor Facilities

Practical needs aren't forgotten here. You'll come across plenty of parking when you arrive, and restroom facilities (primarily well-maintained portable toilets) are available when nature calls.

Four-legged family members are welcome too - the park is dog-friendly, with many people bringing their pups for walks along the paths. There's even a dedicated water station for dogs to quench their thirst. Just keep in mind that you might spot local wildlife like coyotes or prairie dogs, especially if you're an early bird visitor.

Trail Connections

A notable feature of Westfield Village Park is its connection to the surrounding natural areas. The park provides direct access to the Big Dry Creek open space, complete with a serene small pond well-suited for reflection or watching waterfowl.

For the more adventurous, the park links up with the regional Big Dry Creek Trail, essentially acting as a gateway to miles of exploration through the Colorado landscape. If you're planning a long bike ride or an extended hike, this park makes an excellent starting point for broader outdoor adventures.
