Features:
Mackenzie Park is a good spot for a run. It’s located near downtown Lubbock, just east of I-27. The park is a large open space, with sports fields, a disc golf course, and Prairie Dog Town at the northeastern end.
For running, it’s possible to do a 3-4 mile run, creating your own route on the interweaving trails. There are some paved surfaces and some dirt/gravel trails. There’s a small lake at the park’s southern end.
Add-On/Longer Run: Mackenzie Park can be combined with our Dunbar Historical Lake route, using Canyon Lake Drive, whose north end is at the Disc Golf course in Mackenzie Park.
Essentials
- Several miles of trails in the park -- best to create your own route
- Some rolling hills
- Parking lot near the Buddy Holly Gazebo
- Best parking is off Cesar Chavez Dr. just south of Parkway Dr.
