About Willie Lusk Park
A Piece of Lubbock's Heritage
Willie Lusk Jr. was a celebrated African-American bootmaker whose craftsmanship earned him recognition across the nation, and the park at the corner of East 25th Street and Avenue A in eastern Lubbock bears his name in tribute. Willie Lusk Park honors Lusk's lasting impact on the community.
The park's historical significance got an official nod in June 2024 with the dedication of a Texas Historical Marker on its grounds. If you're a history buff or simply curious about local heritage, you'll appreciate this marker that chronicles Lusk's life story and his contributions to Lubbock's cultural tapestry.
