Simon Moon Park — Attraction in Westfield

This review is based on renting the shelter and holding an event at the park. We rented the shelter and had a bonfire in the evening for a baby shower. All in all, it was a great space to entertain. However, when making the paid reservation, the Westfield parks and rec website mentioned the park had restrooms and electricity. When we arrived, we were unable to use our bluetooth speakers for music because the outlets weren't working. As it got darker, the lights did not turn on either. We had to scramble to clean up in the dark, AND we had small children with us, so it was not ideal.

Just so you know, there are apparently barefoot, unsupervised kids who will come crash your party at...

The main attraction for my family today was the sledding hills in the park. They have been designated specifically for sledding in the winter. Although it's spring now we just received several inches of snow. The sleddibg hills are huge and provided plenty of room for the 40 or so people taking...

Really nice park for younger children, probably one of the better toddler parks in the area. Although there wouldn't be a lot for older kids to do. There are two small play structures with slides and quite a few smaller play items. There aren't any swings though. There are indoor bathrooms and six or so picnic tables under shade. And that's the only shade in the small park. When we went at the end of the day a lot of the play items were too hot to sit on, but we'll definitely be back on...
