Midland Parks

City: Midland | Region: Big Bend Country

More than 45 fine parks dot the city. Included are Dennis the Menace Park, Hogan Park, Chris Davidson Memorial Park, Centennial Plaza and Washington Park. Dennis the Menace Park is a superb three-acre duplicate of original in Monterey, Calif., with bright colors, wading pools, walks, slides, playhouses and fountains. Hogan Park has picnic areas, playgrounds, swimming pool, ball diamonds, 36-hole golf course (ranked in the top 25 municipal courses in the state), driving range, and the Sibley Nature Center and Trail, which gives visitors a look at West Texas flora and fauna. Chris Davidson Memorial Park is one of three parks in the U.S. that is totally accessible to wheel-chairs. Park offers merry-go-rounds, swings, physical fitness courses, basketball and volleyball courts, and a gazebo. Centennial Plaza is tribute to Midland's 100th anniversary, dedicated in honor of pioneers who settled here. In center of downtown, it offers waterfalls, terraced landscaping and seating for outdoor concerts and relaxed picnic lunches. Washington Park features tennis courts, baseball field, walking track, and a one-foot-deep wading pool with play features in the center. A zero-depth pool where the water level slowly deepens like a shoreline from zero to twelve feet is nearby. Beal Complex is home to the William and Sam Memorial Skateboard Park. For more information, call the Midland Park and Recreation office.
