Westside Park

This visit to West Side Park was a blast from the past. My brother whom I haven't seen in 20 years, passed through with his wife making a remembrance tour of our old stomping grounds. We spent our high school years living in the white River Apartments across the street so West Side park was our back yard. The park has many improvements, nice playground equipment and basketball courts. Nice access to the river, but the loss of a star was the unmaintained restrooms. And I mean unmaintained.....non working poop filled toilet, no soap or tp dispensers very dimly lit and very dirty with debri all over the floor. Nice building for park restrooms but big fail on maintaining. Still worth a visit.

CITY LEADERS: The restrooms here are an embarrassment to your city and unsanitary. 5-15-24 The park itself is beautiful and playgrounds look great.

Park is always a great place to take our toddler. There was a broken bouncy animal ride and we wish there were more of the blue toddler swings you can ride with your kid. Other than not having much of a toddler area we love this park. I finally sat on the iconic turtle with my son.

Some of the park equipment needs updated but the grandson had fun.

Nice amenities, and the concrete turtle is still here for those of us with an elevated age that played here as kids.
