Patterson Park is the "Central Park" of Wolfforth. Located right off US82, it's easy access as you…read morecome into town. The largest parking area is accessible off of the frontage road beside the pond. There is a gravel road that wraps around the outside of the park connecting through multiple separate parking areas, eventually arriving at the community center. The pond water level is quite low these days. It's for fishing only, though I can't imagine wanting to do anything but look at it and listen to the circulation fountain - it's kinda gross and smelly. Nearby is a playground for the kids with monkey bars, swing set, slide, and jungle gym. Several covered picnic tables fill the area near the pond. These are probably great in the summer for keeping you out of the sun. The park is dotted with pecan, pine, and oak trees. Great, welcome respite from the flat monotony of West Texas. The back corner has a football field with field goals which can also be used for soccer. The primary remaining space contains five baseball fields, four of which join at the center around a two storey announcers' building. Between all of this is a covered stage/performance area, albeit without permanent seating in place in front. There's a single basketball hoop on a concrete pad, but not a second one or a full court. Right beside the stage is a small community center building. There's the remains of what was once a volleyball court, though I can hardly call it that in the current condition. A walking path on dirt, gravel, and grass traces the circumference around the park. This would make for a decent place to run, which appeals most to me. My original photos are from December 2022. At the time, the park is relatively empty due to the cold, windy winter and a only really a haven for the migrating Canada goose flocks. There are usually decent crowds of people using the baseball fields here in summer. There is a general feeling of abandonment and disrepair, though. I chock this up mostly to the harshness of our climate, but definitely see room for improvements where the city of Wolfforth could invest some time and money to improve things at their one and only park.

MacKenzie Park in the northeast area of Lubbock, TX, has a ton of recreational opportunities:…read more Baseball Fields, Canyon Run Dog Park, Crossroads in Time Sculpture Garden (dedication Oct 2004), Disc Golf Course, Equestrian Trail, Joyland Amusement Park, Meadowbrook Golf Course, Moonlight Musicals Amphitheatre, Mustangs-Sculpture by Steve Teeters, Prairie Dog Town, Santa Land, and softball fields. This area is also home to MacKenzie Park Lake. Watching the water birds on the partially frozen water was both soothing and amusing on Christmas Day (2022). There were multiple benches, picnic areas, a playground, reserved picnic pavilions, restrooms, and a seasonal snack concession area. Entry was free at least during the winter. There was close access to Interstate 27. On the days my daughters & I visited, it was hard to tell if RVs & truck drivers would find this to be an easy pit stop to access as there were road closures due to a sewer renovation project.

He had so much fun here he didn't miss the fact that we couldn't have a real party with his friends. We enjoyed the mini golf and the go karts. He wasn't quite tall enough to drive them but it was still fun. We didn't eat here but they have food. It's a nice spot. We got here right at noon, which was good because by the time we were leaving it was getting pretty crowded. I don't think there are any real COVID precautions in Tx like in Atlanta. No masks required no sanitizing the golf clubs but I carry wipes and the golf was outside so it was all good. Customer service was good..great actually. The lady at the counter was really patient and helpful. One thing I didn't like was the arcade games were super high. We had a $5 came card that was used up after two games.

You can regularly see unique ducks and white swans among the regulars from Canada (if you know what I mean). The grass also stays lush year round, and green in the summer.

There's a playground for the kids, lots of plump shade trees, and a sidewalk around the circumference. I have never seen this park empty. In fact, it's always practically bustling.
