Mackenzie Park is very popular in the community and has much to offer, such as an equestrian trail (who knew?), disk golf, Prairie Dog Town, and a small lake. This park is also suitable for picnics, walking trails and just getting the family out of the house for some fun.
One outdoor jewel Lubbock should be proud of is the 93-acre sanctuary with gardens known as the Lubbock Memorial Arboretum. Located at 41st and University Ave., the Arboretum has a 1.18-mile trail that anyone can use. They also host a variety of events, tours, activities and classes for all ages and interests. Your kids will enjoy seeing the wide variety of plants and animals that call the Arboretum home. This facility is open seven days a week from 5am-midnight.
