George Mahon Park

A Natural Retreat in the City

Tucked away at the intersection of 29th Street and Chicago Avenue, George Mahon Park offers Lubbock locals and visitors a breath of fresh air from the Texas hustle. This public green space is a nice spot for spending some quality time outdoors.

Lakeside Charm

At the heart of the park sits a generous fishing lake where you can cast a line without ever leaving city limits. The peaceful water creates a serene backdrop, whether you're reeling in catches or simply enjoying the view. Wrapping around the lake, walking trails invite you to stretch your legs, clear your mind, or get your heart rate up while surrounded by patches of natural beauty.

Play Your Way

The park features a disc golf course that makes good use of the landscape. The course offers enough challenges to keep experienced players engaged while remaining accessible to newcomers trying their hand at this increasingly popular sport.

Fancy a bit more teamwork? The sand volleyball courts provide an excellent setting for everything from casual bump-and-set sessions with friends to more competitive matches. The courts are a nice place to dig your toes into the sand while playing a game.

Not Your Average Playground

The park has two distinctive playground areas for kids of all ages. The standout feature has to be the zipline swing system - there's a larger track with bumps that's sturdy enough for adults to enjoy, and a smaller, gentler version well-suited for little ones or children with disabilities.

Little visitors also love the ground-level merry-go-round and interactive musical devices scattered throughout the play areas. These features add character to George Mahon Park's playgrounds.

Gather Round

When hunger strikes, you'll come across multiple picnic areas with shaded tables where you can enjoy a packed lunch or host a small gathering. It's worth noting that instead of permanent facilities, portable toilets are available near the parking area for when nature calls.

With its mix of recreational options, play spaces, and natural features, George Mahon Park offers both quiet areas and more active spaces for various interests.
