There's a large playground, the Amarillo Botanical Garden next door and a 1 mile loop around the pond which made it easy to do my runs. I was warned about the geese infestation and the possibility of geese poop on the trail. I didn't see any while I was visiting, but I thought that was worth noting. There's an extended part of the trail but you have to cross traffic for it, so the one mile loop worked best for me. A lot of people were walking the trail through my three visits, a school bus was there with kids in the playground and on Saturday plenty of people were fishing in the pond. A really great and well maintained park!

Medi Park in Amarillo is a true hidden gem -- peaceful, pretty, and perfect for a walk, a picnic,…read moreor just a deep breath. I stopped by not expecting much, and ended up staying longer than planned. The lake in the middle is calm and relaxing, with ducks waddling around like they own the place (and honestly, they do). There's a playground that kids were loving, plenty of open space, and shady spots to kick back. Everything was clean, safe, and just felt easy. Whether you want to stretch your legs, feed the ducks, or just enjoy some sunshine, Medi Park is one of those simple, happy places that makes a town feel like home. Five stars, no doubt.

There's lots of beautiful green grass for running and playing ball and walking dogs and some pretty trees to offer shade when they're full of leaves. We saw lots of families here when we brought the kids here to play. There is a church next door and a school right across the street so it feels like a perfectly safe place to bring the kids to play. They had a great time!.

A day pass is $8.00 and is good till 10:00PM (you can leave and come back). They give you a map as well. You can drive the whole thing and see a lot from your car. There's also plenty of pull-offs for picture opportunities. For ones that like hiking, there's plenty of that there. I'm not big into hiking, and I also didn't pack to do so. Lol. There is cave you see from the road, and if you want you can do a short hike to it. I wasn't on planning really hiking anywhere but this was short enough. Easy to get up, going down you have to be a lil careful. Good place for pictures too. Camping ground are available too. Anyways, if you're in town visiting or never have been there, I definitely recommend it!
