The West Side is a neighborhood in the city of Newark in Essex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
The mostly residential neighborhood is home to Woodland Cemetery and West Side Park.
West Side High School and Chad Science Academy (closed down in 2005) (7-12) are also in this neighborhood.
[1] West Side Park, a county run park, was originally situated on a hill full of linden trees overlooking a lake, but the lake was later filled in to accommodate fields.
There were once performances at the park, including Dionne Warwick and Whitney Houston.
