About Westy Park
Westy Park is a community park in the Westy area of Latchford, on the eastern side of Warrington, offering several acres of green space for local families. After a long community campaign, the Friends of Westy Park and Green Spaces, supported by Warrington Borough Council and the Latchford Big Local partnership, helped transform the site into a refurbished park designed to be fit for all. The park now includes a children's playground with equipment such as slides and swings, giving younger visitors a dedicated space to play. Beyond the play area there are sports facilities including a rugby pitch, football pitch and basketball court, so the park serves a mix of casual and organised recreation. Access has been improved too, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and accessible parking, and the neighbouring Westy Community Centre adds a further community focus. Westy Park is free to enter and sits within a residential part of Latchford, making it a practical everyday green space for the surrounding neighbourhood.
