Bridwell Park

Bridwell Park is a 9.3-acre public park located in the heart of Wichita Falls, Texas. The park offers a serene environment for visitors seeking outdoor recreation and relaxation. Situated in the Central Wichita Falls Neighborhood Revitalization Area, Bridwell Park has recently undergone upgrades to enhance its facilities and appeal to the community.

The park features well-maintained trails that wind through lush greenery, providing an ideal setting for walking, running, and hiking. These paths cater to various fitness levels, allowing both casual strollers and more serious outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the park's natural beauty.

In 2024, Bridwell Park received significant improvements with the addition of two new courts.
