About the Location

Sports Facilities

Spread across a generous 17.8 acres, Westgate Park offers plenty of room to play and unwind in a peaceful natural setting. If you're into sports, there's quite a variety of options available.

Ball games, anyone? The park features two baseball fields ideal for a casual game of baseball or softball with friends. Basketball more your thing? Shoot some hoops at one of the four basketball courts. There's also a lighted tennis court for those evening matches when you just can't call it quits at sunset.

Pickleball enthusiasts will be happy to find two dedicated pickleball courts that were recently added to the mix. And if you're feeling a bit old-school, why not try your hand at the horseshoe pits? It's a surprisingly satisfying way to spend an afternoon.

Family Fun

Got kids with energy to burn? The two playgrounds are sure to keep them entertained. We've heard from locals that these play areas are a big hit with children and grandchildren alike - an excellent spot for little ones to climb, swing, and make new friends.

Planning a family reunion or birthday celebration? The park's enclosed shelter can accommodate up to 125 people and comes equipped with a main room, kitchen facilities, and an outdoor patio. It's really ideal for everything from family gatherings to community meetups. We particularly like the secluded outdoor seating area that gives you a bit of privacy away from the main park bustle.

Natural Environment

One of the nicest things about Westgate Park is simply being surrounded by green space right in Rochester. The grounds are well-kept, the atmosphere is peaceful, and there's plenty of parking available - practical details that make a difference when enjoying a day out.

With its mix of active recreation areas and quiet spots to relax, this park offers spaces for sports, leisure, and socializing. It's something of a lesser-known park in the area - not flashy, but pleasant for everything from a quick playground visit to a full day outdoors.

Accessibility and Amenities

The practical stuff matters too: you'll discover clean restroom facilities across the park, which is always a relief when you're spending the day outside. And your four-legged friends are welcome too - the park is dog-friendly, so the whole family can enjoy some fresh air together.

Westgate Park welcomes visitors daily from 7AM to 9PM, giving you plenty of opportunity to fit in a visit, whether you're an early bird or prefer evening recreation.
