I always enjoy any event I have attended at Westville.
This was my 1st time hosting here, and Brian, the park associate, was so helpful and welcoming.
I will definitely rent here again.

This is an excellent location for hosting a community picnic and sports day. The shelter and ball field were perfect for our summer picnic, which included a friendly cricket tournament. The rangers and office staff were fantastic—they addressed all our questions and concerns both before and on the day of the event. They were incredibly welcoming and helpful!

It is a great place to gather and celebrate for all ages. This was the first time that the grass was very tall and we were concerned for the little ones getting ticks. It is very easy to setup and take down after. We had a great time and will continue to use this area as our go to for celebrations.

This park is always clean, well-kept, and a ranger is usually around to keep an eye on things. This is why I chose this park. The pavilions and tables are clean, in great condition, and well-kept, too. I would rent again!
