UNLEASH YOUR INNER ARTIST

Get creative at the Westhaven Art Center, where members of the community can showcase their unique arts and crafts abilities! All of the materials and tools you might need to kickstart a grown-up DIY project or let the kids practice their finger-painting are stored here.

TRAILS

Westhaven residents can choose their ideal outdoor adventure on one of the seven nearby nature trails, which add up to a total of 9 miles. There’s never been a more perfect time to get outside and get away from it all, whether you are seeking a stroll in the sunshine or looking to work up a sweat. Popular trail activities include walking, hiking and running – the “slope” trails in particular have steeper inclines and present a greater challenge, while other trails have an elevated start and then level out.

Access all the trails via Westhaven’s Wild Elm or Grassmere trail heads, located in the heart of the community. Each path showcases the area’s beautiful natural landscapes and a variety of local flora and fauna, and are labeled as either moderate or difficult.

TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL

If you’re game for sports on the courts, you’ll feel right at home at Westhaven. In addition to tennis courts at the Residents’ Club, the community added competition pickleball courts at the Skube Swim Center. Perfect for a friendly match or serious competition with one of Westhaven’s organized clubs.
