Honestly, I was expecting more. The park was overcrowded even on a weekday, and the parking lot was a nightmare – I had to circle for 20 minutes. The entry fee is way too high for what you get (basic grass and a small lake). Most of the food stalls were overpriced and mediocre. The only highlight was a nice bridge, but it wasn't enough to make up for the hassle. Won't be coming back.
Good park overall – the lake views are nice and there are plenty of benches to sit and relax. However, the public restrooms were really dirty and smelled bad, which was a letdown. Also, a couple of trail sections were closed for maintenance, so I couldn't complete the full loop. Still worth a short visit, but not amazing.
If you love cherry blossoms, go in early April! The rows of pink petals along the east side of the park are absolutely magical. I spent almost two hours just taking photos – every angle was postcard-worthy. There's also a lovely grassy area near the pagoda where you can spread a picnic blanket. Already planning my next visit for autumn colors.
We rented a paddleboat for an hour and had a blast! The staff at the boathouse were super friendly and even gave us tips on where to see the best lotus flowers. My kids couldn't stop laughing as we pedaled around the little islands. Clean restrooms, plenty of shaded benches, and a nice snack stand. A perfect family afternoon!
Absolutely stunning! I visited West Lake Park last weekend and caught the most breathtaking sunset over the lake. The walking trails are well-maintained, and the reflections of the trees on the calm water were like a painting. Even the gentle breeze felt refreshing. This place is a hidden gem – perfect for a peaceful escape from the city. Highly recommended!
