One of the best parks I've been to. Great playground, especially for social distancing, it's huge! Lots of different types of playground equipment, for kids 2-12. Lots of parking, public bathrooms and free WiFi. They also have three BBQs and a bunch of picnic seating. All around a community treasure!

Today was the first day I took my 16 month old to John West Park. My now 8, almost 9-year-old grew up there. What a nice, fun and safe environment for children! I recommend this place to any parent with small children.

We always have a great time at John West Park! So many playgrounds for every age! Plenty of parking! So much for the kids to do! The exercise loop is also great with a nice paved trail and workout equipment along the path!

The nicest park I have been to in quite some time. This park looks brand new and is well maintenances. There are several large charcoal grill areas and a nice pavilion with plenty of picnic tables under it for hosting an event. The playground is sprawling and has lots of non-traditional things for kids to play on. It honestly had a "ninja-warrior" vibe to it which every kid seemed to love. There are rock walls, a bunch of slides, a wiggling balance beam thing I have never seen before, as well as a whole planned out exercise course. To add to the intrigue of this place, it appears all of the ground material is composed of recycled rubber scraps, not like ground up tire rubber that you would find on a sports field, but actual chips resembling natural wood chips. It was quite soft and I imagine is lasts longer than natural wood chips and is probably one of the better ways of reusing that product. I found this park via Google maps while vacationing and I have to say, I hope I see a park like this where I live in the near future. The restrooms were also the cleanest I think I have ever found a public restroom, so they have set the bar pretty high. Included a close up picture of the rubber chips for reference, it was pretty interesting.

This is an excellent place to bring a kid. I visit a lot of playgrounds, and there’s a couple things I generally look for. Most playgrounds will have a jungle gym, many slides, climbing walls, etc and John West Park definitely has those. But not every park has swings (my 2 y/o is a devotee) and, most crucially, so many playground lack adequate shade. John West Park is built among a group of mature trees, so very nearly the entire play area is shaded. This is an absolute godsend on hot summer days. Otherwise, the playground is in great shape and has so many different options. There were some climbing wall types and other equipment that I haven’t seen anywhere else. There’s also a small play storefront area with door frames and windows for make believe play. Beyond that, this is a great park. There are picnic tables, and benches that double as swings. There are trash and recycling receptacles spaced around. There’s even a small exercise circuit area. Parking was convenient, and there were ample spots, at least when we visited. Basically, if you’re in the area and looking for a playground to visit, look no further.

Great park, on a hot day, this is the park to go to. It has plenty of shade and also has areas for just about every age/capability level. Covered picnic area, pergola with rocking chairs, all around great park.

This is a great park! They have a nice variety of items for younger and older children. There are a number of bench swings for sitting and easy bathrooms.

Beautiful park, lots of activities for kids. Tara found a nice spot to sit.

It's a place you can go for that old hometown feel. The people are friendly. The park is clean. A place you can take the kids and feel safe. The restrooms are clean, Just a great place to relax. Thank you; Oceanview for such a wonderful park
