Go here to take a picnic, indoor soccer and basketball court and visit Howard the duck and his friends, the Dam itself needs a clean up but still a place for memories

Had a wonderful walk and a full body work out at the parks two gym areas that have equipment for building strength using ones body weight. The dam is looking beautiful, well maintained and clean. I know safety has been a concern but we did not encounter any issues and I have heard that private security companies together with community watch are helping to keep the area safe. The community does regular clean ups of the dam and its clear that there is a sense of pride in the facilities. I will definitely walk there again and recommend it for a relaxing work out with a spectacular view.

The park is peaceful however it is slightly too dirty and not safe, you could get mugged inside the park because there is not much security...its private and suitable for walking your dog

Such a great green space. Really wish more people in the area made use of the park. Its sorry that the solar lights were stolen and city parks have now left the bare poles standing in the park, but still a great space to go for a walk and just unwind after work or over a weekend.

Westdene Dam is one of the environmental friendly places with beautiful bird life and many other species that live there. The Dam that is divided into two with trees and plants that grow inside the water makes the Dam to be even more beautiful.
