The first trail to be built on the BeltLine, the 2.4-mile West End Trail, was opened in 2008. It edges the neighborhood of the same name as well as serving Mozley Park and Westview. The trail stretches from White Street to Westview Cemetery. In Westview the trail will be anchored by Enota Park. When the park is completed in late 2019 it will be transformed formed from a 1/3 acre parcel to a 10-acre multi use park with multi-purpose play fields, playground, and entry plaza for bicyclists and pedestrians on the Westside Trail.

Neighborhood Organizations There are two active neighborhood organizations within Westview: Westview Community Organization (WCO) – The Westview Community Organization, which formed in 1974, is the largest and oldest neighborhood organization in Westview and encompasses the entire neighborhood. Key committees within the WCO are the Development Committee, which focuses on master planning and neighborhood improvement projects, and the Beautification Committee, which focuses on park maintenance and street cleanups. The WCO organizes a number of festivities throughout the year, such as a summer block party, National Night Out, and a Christmas party at Fire Station #17. Executive committee members are voted into office for one-year terms. The WCO meets the first Monday of every month at 7:00 PM via Zoom since the COVID-19 pandemic but will go back to meeting at Calvary United Methodist Church (1471 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd.) at the beginning of the 2023 year.
