This place is huge, and there are s do many things to see. A lovely creek runs into a lake, with lots of grassy space for picnics or play. There are ball fields as well. The prairie dog town is amazing! Joyland Amusement Park looks fun (closed for pandemic currently), and the tractor museum and nearby windmill museum add some quirky culture. This is definitely a favorite place in Lubbock.

My girlfriend and I like to goto dog park and we have a special place for ourselves thats very beautiful were we can sit and talk and get away from the world for a little while and be able to collect ourselves from lifes problem we can also in the past even if our Day or week has gone bad we can just go sit at the park and just sit there and talk and we look at everybody elses joy our sadness or problems go away for little while and very safe alot of undercover officers posing as civilian driving around so its safe to say you never know whos a cop so if your looking for trouble you will find it theyre its a beautiful park Lubbock Texas takes very good care of it

Mackenzie park is great on hot day like today,the breeze coming across lake was cool and was probably 10 degrees cooler. Flys are a pain,but thats normal here. Great place to picnic,its to bad people let there dogs run loose and dont clean up after them.

Really cool place--Groundhogs everywhere!! Not what I expected at all... this one stop made the 5hr trip worth it! And, Of course, my brother graduating from law school was more awesome, but there was some really strong competition! #reesscruggs #texastech #graduation #schooloflaw

New dog park was great. Like all dog parks, it depends on good dog parents who make sure their dogs behave and pick up after their dogs. So please be good parents!

Actually we went through Mackenzie park to go to City of Lubbock cemetery. The city workers were probably on a schedule. But they were considerate and expressed their condolences. Thank you City of Lubbock cemetery.
