Willow Vista Park

Play & Relax

Sprawling across 9.3 acres, Willow Vista Park gives you plenty of room to stretch your legs and enjoy the outdoors. The playground is a hit with the little ones, where they can climb, slide, and make new friends in a safe environment.

Packing a lunch? You'll find picnic areas great for family meals or casual get-togethers with friends. The open grassy spaces are ideal for tossing a frisbee, kicking a soccer ball, or simply lounging on a blanket with a good book.

Natural Charm

This cozy neighborhood park has a peaceful vibe that's hard to beat. Mature trees provide welcome shade and create a natural retreat right in the city. The park borders undeveloped land, making it a surprising wildlife hotspot where local creatures thrive.

If you're into birdwatching, bring your binoculars! You might spot several species going about their day among the branches or swooping across the open areas. It's a little pocket of nature that offers a refreshing break from urban life.

Location & Management

You'll come across this green oasis at the corner of Pavillard Drive and Tammy Avenue. Willow Vista Park operates under a joint ownership model, likely a partnership between Amarillo city officials and the neighboring school.

This collaboration seems to work well - the grounds are clean and well-kept, with facilities that serve both school activities and community needs.

Bringing Pets

Your four-legged friends are welcome here! Willow Vista Park is dog-friendly, but you'll need to keep them leashed or under your direct control. A word of caution for pet owners: watch out for stickers (burrs) in the grass, especially around the park perimeter. These pesky hitchhikers can make for an uncomfortable walk home for your pup.
