Stephenville City Park
378 W. Long
Ph: 254-918-1260
I grew up in a small town not too terribly far from Stephenville and the city park of a small town is a hot spot for family activity on any given day. These small hometown parks are host to family reunions, picnics, play dates, baseball or football games, and general outdoor fun. The city park in Stephenville has 3 different play areas for kids with swings, slides, monkey bars, etc. There are also plenty of tables and chairs for parents to sit in the shade and supervise the kids while they play, or to have a good old-fashioned picnic in the park! There are also six baseball fields with concession stands where the little league teams come for area tournaments. They also have a skate park, walking trail, tennis courts, basketball courts, and an amphitheater. If you get too hot, there is a public pool to enjoy and the Bosque River runs through the park so you can feed the ducks or do some fishing.
