Mackenzie Park plays an integral role to the surrounding communities with plenty of extracurricular activities like fishing, disc golf, dog park, etc. Along with this information, the Lubbock Parks and Recreation Department recently completed their Master Plan for future improvements. Part of this plan includes proposed trails, new canoe launch areas, and informational signage about the park, that are all within this area.
With the upgrades that are being introduced to the park and events that are held, it is important to evaluate the condition of the structure and perform the necessary repairs and upgrades to make sure it is safe and up to proper standards.
