Western Park's boundaries are unofficial, but the approximate boundaries are West Kiest Boulevard to the South, Duncanville Road to the West, South Walton Walker Boulevard on the Southwest, South Cockrell Hill Road on the East (including apartments to the east) and West Illinois Avenue to the north (including neighborhood north of Illinois)
