Confirmed from Lucy 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.
176-acre park set in a river bend, with a pool, nature center & paved trail for hiking & biking.
What runners say about Lucy Park
“It’s also well-maintained and perfect for spotting wildlife or just getting some fresh air.”
“The park's centerpiece often includes a picturesque pond, where ducks gracefully glide across the water.”
“Lucy Park stands as a cherished oasis, providing a peaceful retreat for locals and a delightful destination for anyone seeking a connection with nature in an urban setting.”
I spend a great deal of time walking all the trails here with my fur buddy. When I first moved to WF people warned me about shady characters around there that can hang out. Honestly I have more at other places in town and all the people I have encountered have been nice and pleasant.
Watch video for more info. Signage not great. Tons of walking paths. The falls is a fun little walk about a mile. Goose and duck pond is hubbys favorite. Rope bridge my fave.
Beautiful and spacious park. There wasn’t many visitors when we were there. Plenty of picnic areas and paved walking trails. It’s well maintained.
Lucy Park is a hidden gem in Wichita Falls — peaceful, spacious, and full of charm. Whether you’re looking to take a quiet walk along the trails, enjoy a picnic by the river, or let the kids run wild on the playground, this park has something for everyone.
