About the Location

A Peaceful Neighborhood Retreat

Found in College Station, Texas, Southwest Park is a pleasant green space in the neighborhood. Covering 9.7 acres, this cozy neighborhood park offers a breather from the hustle and bustle - ideal for when you need some outdoor time without traveling far from home.

With its mix of open grassy spaces and shaded wooded areas, you get the best of both worlds in one spot. Located right on Southwest Parkway, it's super convenient for folks living nearby or anyone coming from the Texas A&M University campus looking for a quick nature fix.

Take a Stroll, Clear Your Mind

The park's short paved trail is just right when you're not in the mood for an intense hike but still want to stretch your legs. As you walk, you'll cross over a small pond - a lovely little feature that adds to the park's charm. It's nothing fancy, but sometimes that's exactly what you need.

One thing we appreciate about Southwest Park is how well-kept it is. The grounds are clean and spacious enough for throwing a frisbee or just lounging on a blanket with a good book. Just a heads-up: there's no designated parking here, so plan to walk in from the surrounding neighborhoods. Actually, that's part of what keeps it feeling like a true local spot.

Your Community Green Space

Southwest Park offers a good balance between natural beauty and practical amenities. It's not trying to be the biggest or most feature-packed park around - and that's precisely its appeal.

For nearby residents, this compact green space is that reliable outdoor living room where you can escape for a bit without planning a whole expedition. Open daily from 5AM to 11PM, you can catch a peaceful sunrise walk or enjoy a starlit evening stroll, depending on what fits your schedule best.
