Parks, Recreation, and Greenspace in Lubbock, Texas

Here in Lubbock, Texas, we are a college town. Texas Tech University is the main attraction here. We have a record amount of places to eat for our population so dig in! Not only that but we also have an amusement park as well called, Joyland. There are many other attractions such as our numerous parks much like Mackenzie park, which features a huge wooden life-size castle. One of the greats, Buddy Holly, was born in Lubbock; we have an entire museum dedicated to him and icons that have come from Lubbock.
On the South Plains, Lubbock is subject to such climatic patterns as blistering hot summers, frigid winters, and year-round strong winds. given the size of Lubbock, one should expect far fewer things to do than such major cities as San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston. However, living in Lubbock also entails paying relatively less in living expenses. Caprock Canyons and Palo Duro state parks are both only 100 miles away from Lubbock, for anyone looking to go hiking on a weekend.
