History:

Purchased in 2005 with funds used from the sale of a portion of nearby Caleb Park, Westridge Park provides a neighborhood park on the fast-growning south side of Normandy Boulevard. Park amenities include a playground, picnic shelter with tables and grills, a walk path and open play area.

My thoughts on this Park:

This is an odd park, it appears that it was an easement that was turned into a park.  Long and narrow and designed to be a neighborhood park because there is no parking, I parked at the driving range across the street and walked over.  I bet when the maple and magnolia trees that are planted here grow larger it will make this park really shady around the sidewalk.  The playground equipment is all new and very nice, there was one piece that I am not sure what it is but there is a picture below – kind of a funky chair maybe??  While I was sitting enjoying the day there were planes taking off from nearby Herlong field.
