Wellbeing at Westwood
The Westwood estate is dotted with local parks, wetlands, walking and biking trails across both precincts, so getting outdoors and active is a breeze.
Stroll or cycle along The Walk, the picturesque trail running through Westwood Walk. Just off this is Westwood Park, which features an expansive playground with custom play-mound that the kids will love! Other features include a basketball/netball court, BBQ area and a vast green kick-about area that is landscaped with canopy trees and native fauna.
Westwood Place will also feature local parks and urban squares, and a beautiful waterway drainage reserve runs through the precinct and adjacent to the future sporting reserve that will sit between Westwood Walk and Westwood Place.
Along with the reserve, residents can also look forward to making a splash at the future aquatic centre, which will sit just across the road from Westwood.
Beyond the estate
The area surrounding Westwood features a wide range of recreational facilities and beautiful natural destinations to explore.
Sports lovers will find plenty of options to choose from. Hillside Recreation Reserve is home to a football and cricket club plus a skate park, and the expansive City Vista Pavilion & Sports Field contains two synthetic and two natural grass soccer pitches, along with a bistro and spectator seating. If golf is more your style, the 18-hole Keilor Public Golf Course is close by and caters for all levels. Facilities include a 20-bay driving range, access to PGA-qualified golf professional services, a pro shop, club and cart hire, and a kiosk.
For weekend hikes or picnics with the family, Green Gully Reserve, Brimbank Park and Organ Pipes National Park are all a short drive from Westwood. Spend a day exploring nature trails, lookouts, riverside picnic areas and geological formations.
You’ll never be short of opportunities to embrace a vibrant outdoor lifestyle.
