Description
Westview Park in Gibraltar is a small but scenic public park offering panoramic views over the Bay of Gibraltar, the Spanish coastline, and even Morocco on a clear day. Tucked away in the Upper Town area, near the Moorish Castle and other historic landmarks, Westview Park is a peaceful green space ideal for a quiet break while exploring the Rock. Its elevated position gives visitors a perfect vantage point to soak in some of the best sunsets in Gibraltar, making it a hidden gem for photographers and nature lovers alike.
Though compact, the park is well-kept and features benches, shaded areas, and paved walking paths surrounded by Mediterranean shrubs and trees. It’s a great place for a reflective stroll, a quiet picnic, or just to pause and enjoy the sweeping views. Public toilets are not available directly within the park, but facilities can be found nearby in surrounding cafés or public areas. The park is wheelchair accessible via nearby roads, although some parts of the Upper Town can be steep, so moderate mobility is recommended.
Westview Park is also dog-friendly, provided dogs are kept on a leash and cleaned up after. Open daily and free to access, it's a calm retreat away from the busier tourist spots lower down the Rock. It’s also close to other points of interest such as the Moorish Castle, Upper Rock Nature Reserve, and the Cable Car station, making it a convenient stop during a day of exploring. Whether you’re looking for a moment of peace, a scenic viewpoint, or a pleasant rest during your walk through historic Gibraltar, Westview Park is a quiet and rewarding spot to visit.
