Beautiful lake and plenty of space to hangout and enjoy the day. A big park for the kids and even a smaller one for the kiddos. They loved it.

The new Splash Pad at Nelson Park is awesome! It's a great way to cool off after a hot journey around the Abilene Zoo.

This the perfect place to have a family day in one spot! The zoo is walking distance. There is enough Room to set up canopies and a BBQ pit. There is are 2 parks and a splash pad and a large pond for fishing. Public restrooms are kept up with. Definitely recommend 👌

Very nice and clean park. It also have 2 dog parks for either large and small dogs. Water park for the kids. Close proximity to the Abilene zoo and a softball field.. fishing is a popular pastime.

Large playground with lots of open grass area. Nice body weight workout area that is shaded. But the prairie dog town was awesome!

Great place to let the kids burn energy after a day in the national forest... bring mesquito spray if going during warm seasons!

This is such a lovely park close to two dog parks (one for big dogs and one for small dogs) and the Zoo. It has a playground and splash place. Evening walks or bike rides here can be lovely. Gorgeous sunsets. There are also plenty of places for fishing. One of my favorite places in Abilene. Great for families.

Love it!! Peddalboats, feeding giraffes, feeding the fish, or watching the monkeys it's just fun. Husband and I went to the zoo on a date and had a blast. Clean and friendly people.
