James M. Bradford Park

Park Overview

Located in Midland, Texas, James M. Bradford Park spans a modest 3 acres, providing a green space for neighborhood residents. This compact community space features well-maintained grounds where you can stretch out and enjoy the Texas sunshine.

Facilities and Features

Despite its modest footprint, Bradford Park packs in quite a bit for outdoor enthusiasts. If you're looking to shoot some hoops or spike a volleyball, you'll appreciate the basketball and volleyball courts that anchor the recreational offerings. For those who prefer more traditional pastimes, the park's horseshoe pits provide an excellent spot to test your aim and enjoy some friendly competition.

The park houses two playground areas with climbing structures and swings that will keep kids entertained. Fair warning though - the equipment has seen better days, and the lack of shade can turn these play zones into mini heat islands during those scorching Texas afternoons. If you're bringing little ones, keep in mind that the playground setup isn't particularly toddler-friendly.

Picnic Areas

One of Bradford Park's highlights has to be its shaded picnic areas. These oases of coolness offer a fantastic backdrop for everything from casual lunches to family reunions. When the summer heat cranks up, you'll definitely appreciate these shady spots for a comfortable outdoor meal.

Location and Accessibility

Found in a residential pocket near E. Pennsylvania Ave, the park is especially convenient for neighbors who can easily walk over for some fresh air and recreation. Dog parents, rejoice - your four-legged friends are welcome here, making Bradford Park a go-to spot for daily walks and canine socialization.

Amenities

Just a heads up - you'll want to plan accordingly as there are no public restrooms available in the park. A quick pit stop before your visit might save you some inconvenience later.
