Washington Park

A Green Retreat in Lubbock

Tucked away at the corner of East 22nd Street and Cedar Avenue, Washington Park offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Lubbock life. This public green space has become a cherished spot for locals looking to stretch their legs or simply enjoy some fresh air.

Take a Stroll

Fancy a walk? The park features a 0.75-mile track that loops through the grounds - ideal for your morning jog, an afternoon power walk, or just a leisurely amble to clear your mind.

One of the park's natural highlights is its playa lake, a distinctive geographical feature that makes West Texas so unique. These shallow, temporary lakes aren't just pretty to look at - they play a crucial role in the local ecosystem. On a calm day, the water creates a serene backdrop for your park visit.

Get Your Game On

If you're in the mood for something more active, head over to the basketball court where you can shoot some hoops or join in on a pickup game. Don't worry about rushing to finish before sunset - the park's lighting means you can keep playing even as evening sets in.

Picnic Perfect

Washington Park makes an ideal spot for outdoor meals with its welcoming picnic areas. Pack a lunch, bring the family, and make an afternoon of it. Scattered benches across the grounds also provide quiet spots to sit, read a book, or simply watch the world go by.

Kid-Friendly Fun

The little ones won't feel left out with the park's playground area. The play equipment gives children a safe place to burn off energy, make new friends, and create those childhood memories that last a lifetime.
