playground

Tucked off of Libbie Avenue, between the Near West End shopping spots of Libbie & Grove and Libbie & Patterson, is a patch of green with a playground and parking - welcome to Westwood Playground! Park along Libbie Avenue, or circle around to Granite Avenue and park by the opposite gate.

Westwood is a gated playground in strolling distance to fun shops and lunch spots, which makes it a great reward for patient little people after a leisurely lunch at Palani Drive or Jack Brown’s. On a scale perfect for adventurous toddlers, this playground also has plenty of benches and a large grassy area for kicking around a soccer ball (or just running in circles). The grass does make the playground a little less-stroller friendly, since there are no paved paths to the bench or play areas, but the size of the park makes getting from the car to the fun easy-peasy lemon-squeezy!
