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!

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!

While we were there he caught two catfish. The playground was fun, but the water in the splash pad was turned off. It could have been after 8pm when the park closes. There were lots of families at the playground and everyone seemed very inclusive. This park is near the Don Harrington Discovery center and they had a fairly large tortoise living on the outside premises. It was neat. I would like to come back to visit that museum. All-in-all .... This park was the best part of Amarillo on this stop through.

At the center, a 5 foot model of a helium atom. And it's also a sundial (which I wasn't able to work out the time). Why here and why a monument to helium? It turns out that Amarillo hosts a major helium plant and the city played a huge role in the government's helium reserve and gas production dating back to 1927. The park has parking and several captions that explain the importance of helium as a natural resource. It is next to the Discovery Center. [Review 16193 overall - 369 in Texas - 1699 of 2021.]

My kids, who are but neat-freaks by any definition would not even go in. In fact, my son opted to leave the park entirely and go find another public restroom rather than to use this one.
