The Stephenville City Park is one of the very best city parks!!
It has several baseball fields used for summer programs for T-ball for little ones to adults for competitions. Several tennis courts are available and are handicapped accessible. Walking trails are asphalt and wheelchair handicapped accessible. Several playgrounds are very well designed, from easy for little children to larger ones with everything imaginable and climbable! Most are covered and have well groomed sand or shavings under foot for safety. They are handicapped accessible.
Many city and county-wide activities are scheduled including concerts, fairs with rides, and ball game contests. Bird watching, a skateboard center, and big covered picnic arenas with tables are available and accessible.
Picnic tables are placed along the trails, playgrounds, and camping areas. Many geese and ducks are available to help you fish along the river. Frisbee targets on a trail surround the park. RV and tent camping spaces are available with hook-ups. Drive-thru streets follow the walking trails along the river. A beautiful brick gazebo is available for events, perhaps a wedding, or ceremony, or celebration, and is wheelchair accessible.
I don't know the dog rules, other than leashes and picking up after them. We've seen several dogs there each time, on leash!
A public swimming pool is open in the summer, including swimming lessons. It has slides, floating animals for climbing and resting. A lazy river has floating tubes. Many certified life guards are always on duty. A first aid office is there for scrapes, and bumps, and bandages. Generous changing rooms include privacy stalls and restrooms. It is wheelchair accessible.

It was not very clean I really feel like the person that's in charge really should take better care and pay better attention to that place it may be a big Park but you should really focus on its cleanliness and its ability to be kid friendly to everyone in town. My kids want to play there but on occasion it's just not a friendly place to be. Unfortunately the person who's in charge of it does not put much effort forward. In addition there was many fire ant beds and wasps and Yellowjackets about the play areas, and that made it a little more frightening for my kids and myself. It used to be that the community service kids took care of this area on a daily basis. Would be nice if that situation happen again. They really put so much effort in in the past to really take care of that Park and make it beautiful. Who's ever in charge of it now is doing a very poor job. It's...
Read moreI've been coming to the Stephenville City Park almost for as long as I have lived in Stephenville. It's a good location to stretch your legs, get some exercise. They have tennis courts, playgrounds for children. Events on a regular basis at an auditorium on top of the hill. On one side there is even a pool. They have lots of space for get-togethers, game such as baseball or soccer. My only issue is that they have fallen behind and maintaining the park. They are allowed fans to get out of hand. Mainly the erosion of the ground along the riverbank. Although they are working on it, there is still a lot of work to do. That aside, it is an excellent place to...
