Got a time early Saturday afternoon 4/22/17. We got there a bit late, since my teenage daughter and friend asked if I could drop them off at the movies, we live in Plainview. They were very understanding. The owners son was there to get us going. They have 4 cages and can have use of a manual fed pitching machine, no extra! We had 3 boys and they charged just $15 for an hour. Hope I don't get anyone in trouble, cause that seems cheap. Since there wasn't anyone else at the time, they were nice enough to let the 2 who weren't hitting off the machine to use a t-ball stand in the next cage. It was very well kept, clean and organized. Can't wait to go back. Thanks! Oh, they do take credit cards, they use the Square attached to a phone.

It was awesome to be able to switch between baseball/softball and the different speeds with the press of a button between turns. Would be great if machine #3 was working. Great to go in while they're slow but people were great when they did come in and we got to see some AMAZING batting and pitching skills, so waiting wasn't a big deal.

Went to " Pro Shop area " and found they had an extremely limited selection of bats, No helmets, No batting gloves, almost no other accessories.

Kid at the counter offered to sell me a pair of his used batting gloves for 10 bucks. Really ???? Weak ...

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.

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.

Yours truly recently acquired the role of "soccer mom" for the first time ever (3/4/2023)…read more In turn, Jefferson Park became our practice field because 1) it's a free public space & 2) hardly anyone goes here! In Jefferson's defense, it is on the south side of town - meaning it's too far for most Hobbsans to consider - plus it's tucked away in a lesser known area. I used to teach at the elementary nearby over 10 years ago... I don't recall any of this being within short walking distance of the school: + basketball courts + bbq grills + lights + pavilions + picnic tables + playground + restrooms + sand volleyball courts + soccer goals + youth baseball fields (still referred to as Bensing Park) + & a .80-mile walking path I give this city park 4 stars because while it has great amenities, it is not at all debris-free nor is it in a particularly nice neighborhood.

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!

The Ziaplex is a softball and baseball complex on the east side of Hobbs, NM…read more Adult softball games used to take place here. I'm not in a league anymore, but I have many great memories playing slo-pitch with all the old farts. Lol. Little league baseball games continue to be played out here. It's a good thing because there are 4 fields with the all 4 backstops back-to-back against one another. Kevin Naegele and Kevin Wells are two historical figures we should give thanks to for these fields. Dogs, except service dogs, are not allowed. Restrooms are available. Ample, free parking is also available, but they ask that RVs, trucks with trailers and other big rigs not park in the lot. I seem to recall my dad parking out on the street when he had his long trailers. This complex is taken care of by the City of Hobbs, therefore, it is usually well-kempt.
