==== Lucy Park ====
Lucy Park is a {{convert|170|acre|ha|adj=on}} park with a log cabin, duck pond, swimming pool, playground, [[frisbee golf]] course, and picnic areas. It has multiple paved walkways suitable for walking, running, biking, or rollerskating, including a river walk that goes to a man-made waterfall feature in lieu  of the original falls for which the city was named (the original falls, located in the river, were destroyed in a 19th-century flood; the new waterfall attraction, located in the park and discharging into the river, were built in response to numerous tourist requests to visit the "Wichita Falls"). It is one of 37 parks throughout the city. The parks range in size from small neighborhood facilities to the 258 acres of Weeks Park featuring the Champions Course at Weeks Park, an 18-hole golf course. In addition, an off-leash dog park is within [[Lake Wichita|Lake Wichita Park]] and a skatepark adjacent to the city's softball complex. Also, unpaved trails for off-road biking and hiking are available.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lucy Park {{!}} Wichita Falls, TX - Official Website |url=https://www.wichitafallstx.gov/69/Lucy-Park |access-date=2023-10-11 |website=www.wichitafallstx.gov}}</ref>
