Kellus Turner Park

A Fresh Start for the Neighborhood

After years of sitting somewhat forgotten, Kellus Turner Park has finally gotten the love it deserves. The recent makeover has improved this West Odessa green space, turning what was once an underdeveloped lot into a more inviting place to spend an afternoon. This renovation is part of Ector County's broader efforts to improve recreational spaces across the area.

Kid-Friendly Fun

The brand-new playground is probably the star of the show here. Modern, safe, and actually fun (a rare combination!), it's become quite the hotspot for local families. On weekends, you'll likely hear the happy chaos of children making the most of the outdoor equipment.

Getting to the park is hassle-free thanks to the dedicated parking lot - a small detail that makes a big difference when you're trying to wrangle kids or just squeeze in a quick walk or jog between errands.

Where the Game Is Always On

The basketball courts have been a neighborhood fixture for years, hosting everything from casual shootarounds to intense pickup games. There's something special about these courts - they've seen countless crossovers, three-pointers, and probably a few friendly arguments over fouls.

Not into basketball? The open spaces are meant for impromptu football games, making this park versatile enough to accommodate different sports enthusiasts. These athletic areas have become something of a second home for many neighborhood kids over the years.

More Than a Park

Found in the heart of West Odessa, Kellus Turner Park has evolved into something more meaningful than just a patch of green with some equipment. It's a place where neighbors often gather and socialize.

Many seem pleased with the park's transformation. Its value comes not from elaborate features, but from providing a safe, welcoming environment where West Odessa residents can spend time outdoors together.
