Confirmed from Frank Higinbotham Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Kid-friendly green space featuring a playground, a basketball court and a lake.
What runners say about Frank Higinbotham Park
“hands down, the nicest & most well kept park in lubbock.”
“One of the best place for walking, jogging, and meditating.”
A very nice park to walk, run, fish or just hang out. There is a small lake, a new playground, and a basketball court here. There are at least two bathroom buildings in the park and ample parking around the park. Everything is well maintained.
hands down, the nicest & most well kept park in lubbock. i just wish the trail was longer, amazing scenery though! 10/10 recommended running here (:
Nice park! This park has running tracks which is always a plus! Idk why parks wouldn’t have running tracks/paths or sidewalks.
One of the best place for walking, jogging, and meditating. Very quiet park. You will enjoy feeding ducks.
