If you’re looking for a new park to explore, look no further! Atlanta’s largest green space is Westside Park, a sprawling 280+ acre park, complete with activities, trails, and of course, a gorgeous view of the quarry.
After years of planning and construction, Westside Park finally opened in August of 2021, and it’s been an oasis for Atlantans ever since. Whether you’re looking to play, workout, or just relax, Westside Park is the perfect spot for you!
Westside Park Trails
The park has tons of walking or running trails! You can enjoy everything from a short loop with a playground on it for the kiddos, to a nice 1.35 mile stretch if you’re looking for an exercise trail! The trails are paved, and in the future, the park plans to connect to the BeltLine!
The park also has workout equipment on some of the trails, for you to add a little more to your exercise!
Pavilions and Gathering
Westside Park is also a great place to get together with friends and family! Their pavilion area includes picnic tables, bathrooms, water fountains, outlets, and lights, so you’ll have everything you need! You can even reserve the pavilions in advance from their website, here!
Access to Bellwood Quarry
The most unique quality of Westside Park is its view of the clear water of Bellwood Quarry. The quarry contains nearly 2.4 billion gallons of water, which is held as emergency drinking water. You can view the quarry from one of the many overlooks. Rest on a bench and watch the sunset over the sparkling water.
