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.

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.
