Southlawn Park

Play & Recreation

The basketball court at Southlawn Park comes with a quirky twist - horizontal-facing goals that give any pickup game an unexpected character. The park, at the corner of SW 44th Avenue and Cline Road in Amarillo, Texas, is a straightforward outdoor escape for locals looking to stretch their legs or let the kids burn off some energy.

A playground offers the basics for little ones to climb and slide, though it's relatively simple compared to other Amarillo parks.

Green Spaces & Activities

The generous green areas throughout Southlawn Park create perfect spots for spreading out a picnic blanket, kicking around a soccer ball, or watching your kite dance in the Texas breeze. Regardless of whether you're in the mood for a leisurely walk or something more active, there's room for whatever moves you.

The park features a freshly painted volleyball court that's well-maintained and suitable for both casual games with friends or more competitive matches.

The park's expansive open fields have become a go-to for impromptu soccer matches, football games, and baseball practice. Established trees dot these classic urban spaces, offering welcome patches of shade during those scorching Amarillo afternoons.

Cooling Off

When summer temperatures climb, the park's seasonal splash pad becomes a magnet for families. You'll find children laughing and splashing as they cool down - a simple but effective remedy for Texas heat.

What to Know

Southlawn includes restroom facilities, but you might find them closed or in less-than-stellar condition. A handful of picnic tables are scattered about, with some conveniently placed near the playground.

Four-legged family members are welcome here, with plenty of open space for leashed dogs to explore alongside you.
