The Best of Both Worlds

Old meets new in Westfield, where historic attractions and activities are unforgettable and the upcoming new developments will be spectacular. The Westfield-Washington Historical Society preserves Westfield’s rich history as a part of the Underground Railroad. It is believed that eight historic Westfield houses were active “stations” on the Underground Railroad in the 1820s and 1830s. Events such as the Railroad Ghost Walk feature ghost stories from this era with other characters from Westfield’s haunted past. While Grand Park (in the northern part of the city) draws families for sporting events from all over the nation, downtown is starting to take shape as well. Park Street is fast becoming a dining destination, but two microbreweries and an eclectic assortment of shops and restaurants are also taking hold along Main and Union Streets. It's all

Westfield’s Grand Park is a force to be reckoned with in the world of youth travel sports, attracting some 750,000 people annually. But a passion for sports and love of the game is a part of the city’s culture. Community-based Westfield Youth Sports, Inc. (WYSI) was organized to promote youth sports in the schools and throughout the county. It offers opportunities for kids in a dozen sports who use the Grand Park facilities to compete. Roundtripper Academy, now in its third decade of service to ballplayers in Westfield, has expanded its facilities to 65,000 square feet of dedicated indoor training space for baseball and softball players of all ages. And if kids are looking for inspiration, Grand Park is the official practice turf for the Indy Eleven soccer team and the home of the Indianapolis Colts Training Camp.
