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!

Palo Duro Canyon State park is near Amarillo Texas. It's the second largest canyon in the United…read moreStates. It's 27,173 acres 120 miles and 600 to 800 ft deep. But you can only drive 16 miles on a paved road. Then you turn around and drive back. Palo Duro Canyon State Park officially opened on July 4,1934 and it cost $8.00 a person to enter. You can camp in tents-RVs with electricity and water. Also rental cabins that look pretty cool overlooking the canyon. Picnic tables and various locations over 40 miles of hiking and biking trails. They have stables with guided horseback rides. Parks Museum store has exhibits about history, geology, and wildlife. They have a natural observatory for birdwatching. And a trading post with restaurant and a park store. During the summer hours an open air outdoor drama theater nestled at the foothills of the cliff. This is a beautiful state park and we're glad we seen it.

We hiked through the entire North Prong Trail which totaled about 7 miles and it was truly gorgeous. There were some difficult moments at points, but nothing I couldn't do.

This park is a valley between homes and is quite wide, bordered by East Georgia Avenue on the north. There is an open space in the center that isn't quite flat enough for game play but would be fine for a picnic or outing. Several picnic benches throughout plus more than playground, two swing sets and a covered stage with several rows of set seating. The park was being used by some parents and kids today so I didn't want to take too many pictures lest I get the label of "creepy dude." The park is clear from litter and the grass is cared for. This is one of Pampa's nicer parks. [Review 16152 overall - 330 in Texas - 1658 of 2021.]

Probably the most well-known and important point is that they have a free roaming herd of bison in the park. That's right, Texans don't have to go all the way to Yellowstone just to try their luck of surviving petting a bison. But seriously, don't pet the fluffy cows. There's so much more here than just bison though. Plenty of bird watching opportunities, miles on miles of trails, and camping, to name a few. I camped here very comfortably, although there are plenty of noisy coyotes and nosy raccoons, so it's still a good idea to keep your food put away. The visitor center is very well done with friendly staff, clean restrooms, and plenty of souvenirs to choose from. This is the best place to start your visit so definitely come give this park a shot.

It is filled with gravel or small Pebbles and there is a partial fence around it. 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!.

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!

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.

Had to climb up in a few places and hoist my dog up some shelves. Beautiful views of the canyons and rivers. We heard coyotes several times each night. It's a dark skies park, so if you're into stargazing this is the place for you. CONS: Back to the firewood. The parks always say not to bring wood because it can spread insects to the area, but they did not have any firewood available for purchase. Had to leave and drive to Quannah, and the only wood they had was pinon which is not good for cooking. Hope to save you a trip! Restrooms were very dirty and full of bugs - I mean covered. Took one pretty gross shower. The worst state park restrooms I have seen. The second night we had a noisy group using a generator all afternoon and evening until 10 pm (in the tent camping area) and playing loud music. I don't get why people go to nature to drive the animals away with their noise. Wish the employees had circulated more and noticed. We left early, not just because of the restrooms and other campers. There was also not much to do since the lake is low and the swimming area is closed. There is no visitor center, shaded bird watching area or anything else to do during the hot part of the day.
