All we did was politely say we'd been waiting, and instead of apologizing, he made us wait even longer. Completely unprofessional. What made it worse was as we were walking away, he insulted my little brother and called him a "dumbass." That's completely unacceptable, especially toward a kid. On top of that, the bathroom was disgusting--no soap, no running water, and it was completely trashed. Customer service and cleanliness here are terrible. I won't be coming back.

While this lake park has a great many features and uses, my primary activity here is running the…read moredirt trails that snake their way through the caliche hills and desert brush. These trails were built over time by and for mountain bikers but that also makes them great for running. As they are about the only true nature trail with some topography in Lubbock, I don't have much choice when I want to get off of pavement. That said, the many miles available offer a unique and fun environment for my runs (and perhaps one day mountain bike rides). The lake itself is quite large, yet it is only one lake in the interconnected chain of lakes through the east side of Lubbock. In warmer months, tons of people come here to fish or enjoy some paddling on the lake. There's a regular group of weekend paddle boarders meeting here in the mornings. Of course, there are also the running and mountain biking groups too, hitting the trails before the heat of the day kicks in. And if you aren't much of a trail runner or walker, there is paved road completely surrounding the lake offering a lot of mileage. They just built a new bathroom facility beside the main parking lot - much needed. And if you want to see a large colony of plump prairie dogs, you can watch them to your heart's content here.

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.

This is a decent conveniently located park just off the highway across from a busy…read morecommercial/retail area. It's probably the biggest park on this side of town. For my own uses it's acceptable. There's a fairly well worn two track in the dirt that goes around almost the entire circumference of the large central lake. This makes for good pseudo trail running. It seems popular for fishing, but I can't imagine it's hospitable to life. Birds occasionally gather here, but I see them more often at other lake parks like Patterson and Dunbar. There's no real water circulation here. It's basically a playa lake turned holding pond for rain runoff. Probably the most popular feature is the very modern and clean four-field youth baseball complex. Once you work your way over the pitted asphalt at the entrance, there's plenty of parking by the fields. A very basic park here otherwise with only a few uses but the best "trails" on this side of town.

Wow!!! I'm visiting Lubbock for the Birthday Party my niece was having here and I couldn't be more…read moreimpressed by this place. My niece and nephew have been coming here for swim lessons (since toddler age) and gymnastics and my brother and parents have been raving since day one. It's clean, spacious, and the staff and coaches truly could not be more friendly and attentive. This party was for a 4 year old with about 13 children in attendance and their parents, plus family. Scottie and Laney were on it-super helpful with any and everything and were great with the kids. Every adult in attendance commented on their friendly professionalism. I don't have children of my own, but if the love my niece and nephew have for this place says anything, it must be great (I mean, the 4 year old wanted her party here)! If you're in search for a place for lessons for your children or a party place for kids, this was a great deal with the upmost friendly staff.

My kid went from moving his arms to basically doing less than he was doing before. They have him swim while other students swim, when he's not a strong swimmer, which is very dangerous. No one knows what is going on. The swim lessons never start on time or end at the right time. Every time I ask the manager they give me an answer and nothing ever changes . The owner needs to seriously make some changes before they loose more customers.

This topography with the boundary of large shade trees and a large open area makes this the perfect spot to play with the pup. You can rarely drive by without seeing a lab or two playing with each other or chasing down a frisbee. Plentiful parking and its central location makes this my choice when letting the dogs run and be crazy
