I remember going to this area when I was little. We always had so much fun. My children and I revisited it when we went fishing here the other day. We only caught a small perch, though we had lots of fun fishing. You feel like you are not in Lubbock anymore. It is a great place to go and enjoy family and nature.

It would be great if people would use common sense and allow their pets to use the bathroom on the grass and not concrete that everyone walks on.

Clean Park, but they stripped the grass out. I guess to regrow grass. But if you go there to fish. You wont catch anything but a channel catfish. No bass or any other type of fish. Prairie dogs everywhere they are friendly. Park is never packed with lots of parking. Dog-friendliness: Dogs are welcome. No one seems to mind dogs unleash but use a leash. Picnic area: A few.

Park is usually pretty clean. It has dedicated paths to walk or run on. If you walk around the entire larger side ( west side)of the park it is about 2 miles. There is workout equipment in one area. Lots of people go fishing or take their kayaks or other small boats. People do take their dogs there but if your dog is small animal reactive maybe dont take them unless you want to be dragged. There are a ton of Prarie dogs every where! That is one down side. But there are also a lot of other wildlife too. Ive seen owls, foxes, turtles and a few other things.

It is a very nice place, but the lake has so much garbage in its waters and the people who visit it, I think not all of them leave a lot of garbage not only in this lake but in most of the lakes in Lubbock!
