Clean water, friendly staff, gets busy but never too crowded, lots of options for hanging out in the water, lots of parking, great music playing, extremely alert lifeguards, clean restrooms and over-all the best private pool I have ever been to. The only negative is the SLOW SLOW check-in if you are sponsoring guests.

Staff does not manage the lap pool. There's an adjacent rec pool which these patrons should be channeled to. This doesn't happen. Also be aware that their deck clock is 4-5 minutes ahead of time & you will be asked to get out earlier than the actual time. This clock was also running ahead of time last summer. I guess they like it like this. The water is VERY warm.

It costs a bit more then the crappy gyms in town, but the service and facilities cannot be beat. It is rarely too crowded to workout and almost always easy to park. Having tried Gold's Gym, Planet Fitness, and Bodyworks I can say with all honesty that the money spent here is better then anyplace in town.

There are quite a number of things to do at Buffalo Springs Lake. You can go boating or camping,…read moreride an ATV, have a picnic or grill some steaks. Tip: There's an admission fee here, so be sure to get your money's worth when you visit Allegedly there are trails for mountain biking here, but there are so many people riding ATVs on those same trails that I wouldn't take the risk of riding a bike. That said, if you've got a road pike, riding it on the paved road should be fine.

We moved to Lubbock in 2016 and looked forward to going to the lake to enjoy a picnic or some time outdoors. We feel in love with the lake years before while attending a weekend camping/family reunion. What a bummer to go there and realize now we have to pay a fee to even picnic.

You can drive all over the park and see prairie dogs. I went at 9am and 5pm and they were always out everywhere. You can buy lettuce and carrots to feed them; they will likely run into a hole when you throw out food, but it's fun to see them snack on it. Throw food, drive into another area, then come back and watch them. It's right off I27 and easy to access. A must when visiting Lubbock!

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.

The only thing cool at this park is Prairie Dog Town. The playground equipment is dated and small…read more Joyland looks like a crummy church fair. It is pricey and the rides look like they will fall apart at any time. Go for the prairie dogs, but skip the rest of the park.

Wow!!! I'm visiting Lubbock for the Birthday Party my niece was having here and I couldn't be more…read moreimpressed by this place. My niece and nephew have been coming here for swim lessons (since toddler age) and gymnastics and my brother and parents have been raving since day one. It's clean, spacious, and the staff and coaches truly could not be more friendly and attentive. This party was for a 4 year old with about 13 children in attendance and their parents, plus family. Scottie and Laney were on it-super helpful with any and everything and were great with the kids. Every adult in attendance commented on their friendly professionalism. I don't have children of my own, but if the love my niece and nephew have for this place says anything, it must be great (I mean, the 4 year old wanted her party here)! If you're in search for a place for lessons for your children or a party place for kids, this was a great deal with the upmost friendly staff.

My kid went from moving his arms to basically doing less than he was doing before. They have him swim while other students swim, when he's not a strong swimmer, which is very dangerous. No one knows what is going on. The swim lessons never start on time or end at the right time. Every time I ask the manager they give me an answer and nothing ever changes . The owner needs to seriously make some changes before they loose more customers.

If you have to come here with kids, I think you'll enjoy watching them.
