Westwood Park — Attraction in Town of Lancaster

Nice place to go.Gets a little crowded sometimes.There's a few trails to walk on and if your quiet enough you may see a deer or turkey.You can't miss the playgrounds or the picnic areas.There is a large (not huge) pond that does have fish that are sometimes really hard to get your offering to anytime after winter.It takes but a few short weeks to get really choked up with algae and shore weeds and the shoreline has a serious erosion problem.If you can get past that the challenging fishing might pay off if you got a while to try.Just expect a lot of salad with your fish.In the spring it sometimes gets a weak sprinkling of rainbow trout.It's much more of a novelty than a fishery and we are talking about maybe 200 and typically gone within a week of being stocked.Well fished for bass lurk around and occasionally stun someone by actually taking a swipe at what they are using for bait but bigger bass (10+ inches) don't get big being stupid.Carp the size of small vehicles (bikes maybe) cruise the shoreline but rarely ever get fooled into taking the bait.If you like to dredge the bottom and sail a worm down deep you may pull up a bullhead or a carp or a sunfish or possibly a mammoth snapping turtle.Otherwise it's sunfish and bluegill and not much else most...

A great park! Always clean and has two different play areas setup. One for the younger kids and the other for the little bit older ones, too. You can even fish in the pond or just take a walk around their trails. Plenty of shelters and a concession stand and clean restrooms to use when needed. It's a nice park to take in a kids ball game or...
