Westerly Hills Park Improvements
Westerly Hills Park Improvements
Westerly Hills Park is an existing 11-acre Mecklenburg County Park located at 3970 Bristol Drive, Charlotte, NC 28205. The park includes half-court basketball, ball field, and playground. The 'connections' improvement project will add create accessible connections to the surrounding neighborhood, as well as new amenities.
In the first half of 2026 two potential park improvement concepts were created, based on input from neighborhood residents. The design team heard from the community as well as leaders from the Westerly Hills/Wandawood Community Association. Comments and considerations have been collected and the team are working to provide a design that can best recognize that input while fitting into the available budget amount.

Proposed Park Concepts
Based on input received from neighborhood residents, two proposed concepts have been created:
Concept 1:
Potential improvements include new shelter location adjacent to the playground, relocating swings to the current backstop location, new paved walking loop, and two new pedestrian connections to the surrounding neighborhood.
Concept 2:
Potential improvements include new shelter location where the current backstop is, new pickleball courts adjacent to the basketball court, relocation of swings to previous shelter location, new paved walking loop, and one new pedestrian connection to the surrounding neighborhood.
