Underwood Park

Recreation Facilities

Stretching across a cozy 8.9 acres, this neighborhood green space is your ticket to outdoor fun in Lubbock. The park's nearly half-mile of exercise trails wind through the grounds, great for your morning jog, an evening stroll, or simply stretching your legs while soaking in some fresh air.

Looking to shoot some hoops or spike a volleyball? The park's paved multipurpose court has you covered. This versatile spot brings neighbors together, whether you're showing off your three-pointer or organizing an impromptu volleyball match with friends.

Wildlife and Natural Features

One of the park's most distinctive characteristics is its thriving prairie dog colony that's made itself quite at home within the grounds. These charismatic little residents add a touch of wild Texas to your park experience, but their enthusiasm for digging has transformed some areas that were once used for soccer and other field activities.

Note that you'll want to watch your step when walking through grassy areas due to prairie dog burrows, especially if you're bringing little ones or four-legged friends along for the adventure.

Community Space

At its heart, Underwood Park represents a neighborhood living room where locals come to unwind. Tucked within a residential area, it's an easy escape for nearby families seeking a peaceful spot for picnics, casual walks, or simply catching up with neighbors. It's not fancy or flashy - just a genuine touch of outdoor tranquility right in the middle of the neighborhood.
