About the Location

A Local Retreat

Located in Omaha's residential landscape, Westwood Heights Park offers a green space within its namesake neighborhood. Surrounded by quiet, tree-lined streets and tidy cul-de-sacs, this public space offers a welcome escape from the everyday hustle without having to venture far from home.

Kid Paradise

Little ones will find plenty to keep them entertained at the children's playground, which comes nicely equipped with all the classics. There are two slides for those essential whooshing moments, monkey bars for hanging around, and various climbing areas to conquer. The four swings accommodate both bigger kids and toddlers (two for each), while a sandpit complete with digging machines awaits budding construction workers. Add in two ride-on toys, and you've got the makings of a solid afternoon of play.

When summer temperatures climb, the park's splash pad becomes the neighborhood hotspot. This water feature provides a welcome cooling spot during hot afternoons - particularly useful during Nebraska's warmer months.

Practical Comforts

You'll discover a covered picnic area that provides welcome shade, but it's worth noting that tables aren't always available. For necessary breaks, portable restrooms are on-site - nothing fancy, but they do the job. The sheltered area makes for a nice spot to catch your breath while keeping an eye on the kids.

Room to Roam

Beyond the structured play areas, Westwood Heights embraces the simple joy of open space. The park features generous green spaces ideal for spreading out a blanket, tossing a frisbee, or simply watching clouds drift by. A large field sits adjacent to the playground, giving energetic kids (and sometimes their four-legged friends) plenty of room to burn off excess energy before heading home.
