Very beautiful and greenish adjacent to Greenwood City Library and near the Amphi Theatre. Lot of walk area for all and play features for children and cycling. Maintained neat and tidy. One can relax and feel cool in company of friends.

I stopped by the lights display unexpectedly on Christmas Eve while heading home and found myself surrounded by couples young and old, families in their Christmas pajamas, and even some teenagers reliving a bit of childhood magic. It felt small-town, peaceful, and comforting. The lights were beautifully done, and the whole scene felt serene and full of quiet holiday joy. A really special moment I didn’t know I needed.

Very nice park. Clean, quiet. Great little trail for fur kids. Moderate trail only because of a couple of hills. But a walking stick would suffice if you're unsure. Barley, any trash along trail except for a few beer cans. The only bummer was the dog park, but I didn't realize you have to pay for a year's pass, and we are only here visiting. So our pup was SUPER bummed. Should have an online QR code to purchase one day pass.

Westside Park is one of the beautiful open park in Indianapolis. Walking thro the lush greenish avenue gives one a memorable occasion for one, especially during cool sunny times around. One can come with small group of people, enjoy the day out with dine on the lawns, play games and roam. I loved it, sitting on a bench lying around children play area, looking at the beautiful landscaped road and the traffic.
