Thompson Memorial Park

Amazing park, always fun to come by. Large park with lots of green areas and lots to do. Lots of trees and shade and the grass is very green! It's also very clean and well maintained. Picnic tables and paved trails all throughout the park. There's a couple of playgrounds, including a really neat pirate ship themed one, but that one is usually packed. There's a pretty large dog park in it too. There's a lake with a walking trail and benches around it. And of course, there's the zoo attached! You can see into the zoo from the outside at different parts of the park. I was able to see a fox and a camel from outside the zoo. Very comfortable place. Overall, it's a great park that me and my kids!

I love the park, different play areas for kids depending on age and mobility. However, today I was pushing a kid on a swing and decided to swing next to them. Not even that high and the swing broke and I landed on tailbone and have bruising on hands. The area close to the dog park needs to be maintained. It is very unsafe for kids.

This park was a great find on our travels it was a huge has so much to do in the area from the zoo to the amusement park within its location. This park has lots of walkways and picnic tables even a neat private spot behind the zoo where you can see some of the animals in the zoo! Very worth visiting!

Pleasant place to wait for friends, lovely shade, lots of birds!

Thompson Memorial Park is a large complex, I have not explored it all, but here is what I do know. - Pirate ship playground is located along Funfest Blvd. The old playground was torn down and reconstructed into the pirate ship in 2023. - The Zoo requires separate admittance fees. - The Wonderland amusement park requires separate admittance fees.

Not impressed by the Grove Disc Golf park. It was difficult to find my way around. Couldn’t find the basket for hole 4. Just seemed very disorganized and there was so much trash and glass all over the course. I’ve never seen so much glass on a disc golf course. It was EVERYWHERE. The lakes were also full of trash, and I saw a dead turtle. Just not really impressed at all by this course. I don’t know how it is considered a B+ course…

We love this park. Friendly people walk every morning. City park workers are friendly. It’s the most beautiful park in Amarillo, imo. Tons of trees and shade, all kinds of bird watching, a long walking trail, several playgrounds, a small lake, numerous picnic areas, a zoo, frisbee golf, Wonderland, bbq areas and a brand new public pool!

The grandkids love the playground and the pirateship playground. It's fun to watch the disk golfers as we drive through.
