John Stiff Park

A chance for those back yard warriors to show what they've got.

This year, Amarillo's Independence Day celebration steps up with Independence Day +1, a unique event promising fun for all ages.

So much for moonlight walks in the park

It was basically a hole in the ground with the tiniest amount of water in it. That's not the case anymore.

October sure is a fun month. So many fun activities to get us outside. The weather is starting to feel a little bit on the fall side so it's exciting. The more outside activities you can find the better.

There are just some weeks that you just need to vent. You need to run around. You need to get those frustrations out. Maybe that was this week with getting the kiddos back to school.

Nothing is worse than waking up on the wrong side of the bed. That just starts your day off in the worst way possible. Those are the mornings that drivers on I40 seem to cut you off. You can't handle it. You just want to get to your job Downtown as soon and as with as little drama as possible.

I know that going for a walk with your dog is by far a healthy thing for you to do for yourself; but it is also great for your dog. You both get to go outside in the environment. You both get some much needed exercise.

It's a beautiful Texas Panhandle Day and you are driving with the family down Bell Street. Maybe you are heading to Big Lots. Maybe you are making your way to John Stiff Park to hang out and walk the dogs. You roll down your windows to let some fresh air in. You decide it's been hot so let's give the AC a little break.

So here we are at the weekend and it's time to start making your plans. Right? You want to get out of the house and have a fun family experience. Guess what? Amarillo Parks and Recreation has you covered. Oh and did I mention it's free? So perfect for your wallet.

Can we just all agree that 2020 has been pretty disappointing? I mean a lot of things we have missed out on. A lot of our live sporting events have turned to cheering from home. Our graduations, proms, birthday parties and weddings have not looked the same. I mean if they even happened.

The day is fast approaching and where will you be Saturday morning? The correct answer is with us out at John Stiff Park. The Insane Inflatable 5K will be here. So of course that is where you need to be.
