Beal Park

Recreation Paradise

Located in Midland, Texas, Beal Park sprawls across 112 acres of community space that offers pretty much something for everyone. This expansive park is popular with locals looking to get some fresh air and stay active.

The park features numerous sports facilities. You'll find multiple baseball and softball fields scattered throughout, plus basketball courts and soccer fields for those who prefer feet to hands. There's even a dedicated cricket field - a somewhat unexpected but welcome addition that makes the park stand out among others in the region.

Get Outside and Play

Beyond traditional sports, Beal Park has plenty of other outdoor offerings. The fishing pond is a peaceful spot where you can cast a line and try your luck with the catfish, bass, crappie, and trout that call it home. A small gazebo overlooks the water, ideal for taking a break in the shade while waiting for the fish to bite.

Skateboarders, rejoice! The park features an in-ground, lighted skate park that local riders particularly appreciate. Its bowl design gives skaters room to carve and practice their moves, even after the sun goes down.

If discs are more your thing, the disc golf course offers a laid-back alternative to traditional golf. Walking trails wind through the grounds, giving joggers and strollers alike scenic paths for their daily exercise.

Family Fun Central

Got kids? The large, well-maintained playground area provides plenty of space for little ones to burn off energy. When hunger strikes, numerous picnic areas with tables and grills dot the landscape, making it easy to extend your park visit into mealtime. Several shaded areas near the pond and picnic sections offer welcome relief from that intense Texas sun.

Clean restroom facilities are available, however you should know they're primarily found near the ball fields and might only be open during game days.

Dog Owner's Dream

The dog park facilities are well-designed, and many locals consider them among the best in West Texas. Thoughtfully designed with separate fenced areas for small and large dogs, the dog park includes trees, grass, and even play equipment specifically for four-legged visitors. Water fountain stations help keep pups hydrated during their playdates.

With spacious enclosures, dogs have all the room they need to run, play and make new furry friends while their owners chat and relax.

Touch of Texas Heritage

Adding character to the landscape, Beal Park incorporates elements of local history, including preserved ranch buildings and a classic windmill with an elevated tank. These features provide not just visual interest but a connection to the area's rich ranching heritage. The well-maintained Ranch House occasionally is a venue for community gatherings.

Beal Park is a comprehensive recreational space for Midland that caters to all ages and interests. Whether you're an athlete looking for a place to train, a family seeking weekend fun, a photographer hunting for interesting shots, or just someone who needs a peaceful moment in nature, you'll find options here.
