Westwood Hills Park invites visitors to escape into three miles of well-marked trails winding through shady oak groves, open grassy meadows, and quiet ridges. Here, you’ll find panoramic views of the Napa Valley that make the climb worthwhile. Benches and picnic tables are thoughtfully scattered along the way, offering spots to catch your breath, take in the landscape, or enjoy a packed lunch. By the parking lot, the Carolyn Parr Nature Museum, run by Napa Valley Naturalists, opens a window into the region’s rich biodiversity. Inside, interactive exhibits explore Napa County’s distinct ecosystems, from wetlands to woodlands, with a hands-on “touch table” featuring animal pelts, nests, and bones—a favorite for kids and curious adults. The museum also includes a children’s nature library and a reference corner for anyone looking to dig deeper into Napa’s flora and fauna.
