Built on a simple idea.
The Beginning
In 1968, Paul and Ruby Yow bought a piece of land off Eva Drive and built something the neighborhood didn't have a name for yet: a place where working families could afford a home of their own.
Paul was a builder — it's how he made his living, and it's how he expressed who he was. He built houses up and down Eva Drive before Westover ever existed. Building the park wasn't a departure from that. It was Paul, doing what Paul did.
Westover was never about owning people's homes. From the start, it was designed simply: a clean, safe, quiet piece of land where people could put down roots on their own terms.
What It Felt Like
Ask anyone who grew up in Westover and you'll hear the same kind of memory: a lawnmower on Saturday morning. A neighbor's whistle carrying across the yards at dusk. A grandmother pulling up on Sunday to drive the family to church.
Curtis McClamrock, Paul and Ruby's grandson, spent part of his childhood living in the park. He remembers running outside just to ride along while his grandfather mowed — and a whole community that kept an eye out for its kids, the way a real neighborhood does.
Paul and Ruby Yow buy the land and build Westover.
Their daughter Jamie, with her late husband Gary Small, purchases the park from the Yow Estate.
Curtis, Jamie's son, is helping his mother carry it forward — same values, same reason it's here.
