Marlboro Park

Recreation Features

Tucked away in Killeen, Marlboro Park offers a spacious open play area that's fantastic for everything from casual frisbee tosses to impromptu soccer matches. The basketball court is definitely a highlight here - if you're looking to shoot some hoops solo or challenge your friends to a pickup game, it's a good spot to break a sweat.

If you've got little ones in tow, the play units provide an ideal outlet for all that boundless energy. Kids can climb, slide, and explore while you catch a moment's breather on a nearby bench.

Amenities

Packed a lunch? The picnic units scattered within the park make for ideal spots to enjoy a sandwich or spread out a full family meal. It's nice to have the option of dining al fresco in this neighborhood green space.

Planning something bigger? The park offers pavilion rentals for those milestone birthday parties or family reunions. And yes, you'll find clean restrooms here too - a small but mighty convenience that can make or break any park visit.
