Westwood is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's West Hempstead Branch serving the villages of Malverne, Lynbrook, and Valley Stream, New York. The station platform is located on Foster Avenue in Malverne, New York, with parking facilities on both the Malverne (Foster Avenue at Motley Street) and Lynbrook (Whitehall Street at John Street) sides of the tracks. It has no station building, because the 1929-built station was gutted into a shelter in 1955. It also has a gated at-grade pedestrian crossing, which is only one of two stations like this on the Long Island Rail Road.
No buses connect to Westwood Station, however local suburban taxi cabs do stop there.
