Westover Village Park

Park Overview

Situated in Amarillo, this 6.6-acre green space provides a nice retreat for Westover Village residents and nearby neighborhoods.

The park's walking trails meander through vibrant greenery, offering a great escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely evening stroll, a morning jog, or a relaxed bike ride, these well-kept paths welcome everyone regardless of fitness level or age.

Recreational Facilities

If you're looking to break a sweat, Westover Village Park offers a good option. The basketball court stands ready for impromptu games with friends or solo practice sessions to perfect that jump shot.

The park also features generous open grassy spaces ideal for tossing a frisbee, playing catch, or simply sprawling out with a good book. It's one of Amarillo's more peaceful recreational spots - relatively quiet compared to busier parks in the area.

Family-Friendly Features

Got kids? The park includes a playground area that's primarily designed with 5-12 year olds in mind. The swing set includes regular swings hung at heights better suited for the older kiddos, plus two baby swings for the little ones who want to join in on the fun.

A highlight during Texas summers is the splash pad with its varied water fountains. From tall sprays that challenge older children to smaller fountains ideal for toddlers taking their first wobbly steps into water play, this feature offers a refreshing respite from the heat.

Picnic Facilities

When hunger strikes, head over to the picnic area where four tables sit under protective canopies, providing much-needed shade during those high-noon sun moments. Thoughtfully, at least two tables are wheelchair accessible, designed without a bench on one side.

This shaded retreat works well for birthday celebrations or family get-togethers, however if you're planning an event with more than a handful of people, you might want to bring some extra chairs along.

Park Design

Westover Village Park offers a good balance between play spaces and natural areas. There's room both for active recreation and quieter moments of nature appreciation.

Parents will appreciate the thoughtful layout - the splash pad, playground, and restrooms form a convenient triangle, making it easier to keep an eye on adventurous little ones who might bounce between activities. The park's well-maintained grounds help create a peaceful atmosphere.

Amenities

The park includes restrooms, but you should know they're occasionally locked, so plan accordingly. The overall cleanliness of the facilities speaks to the care invested in this community space.

What makes Westover Village Park special is this perfect balance - enough recreational options to keep active visitors engaged, yet a calm atmosphere that never feels overwhelming or crowded. It's a safe, peaceful setting where community happens naturally.
