Alex Pappas: Iāve been driving past Scotland Park for several years now and never once went there. That changed this week as I decided to go to several parks around Wichita Falls, Texas. Iāll admit that the playground is more up to date than the other parks thus far; however, the baseball field seems a little worn down from years of use and lack of maintenance along with the old stone bridge being in an odd place. The benches also seem like they need repainting. I do enjoy the small lake and shooting water.
Terry Burgess: We had the honor to meet Medal of Honor recipient Woody Williams, and then to be able to visit his Gold Star Families Memorial in this beautiful park during the Gold Star Parents Retreat has been a very special and emotional trip.
Kathryn Zellers: I was a student at McNeil Junior High when they put the horse in front and I went to the ceremony. I may have not known who the girl was but the story is heartbreaking.
Shauna LaRocque: The pavillion is great, so big! We attended an event with probably 100 other people and it was a great space. The playground is small but well maintained. We were disappointed by the amount of trash around the park, there was a LOT of beer bottles and bottle caps in the parking lot and the grass areas near the pavillion.
Sayak Banerjee: A nice pedestrian bridge with scenic views of the creek and the vegetation nearby. The iconic muddy waters make for great shots.
This place is so underrated and was definitely a surprising find for us.
Roberta Peek: Nice picturesque spot along the river. Good place to walk or ride your bike along the trails. Found out that Wee-Chi-Tah means waste deep in Comanche. Which is what the river was when they crossed it and where the city got its name thus the statue representing the event.
Natasha Wagner: Beautiful park. However, there are several spots of graffiti on the play structure. You can tell they have tried to clean the graffiti off in the past, but older kids/teens keep repeating it.
Fairly clean, though, aside from the writing on the play structure. The picnic pavillion is beautiful.
Nicki bacon: Only reason Im giving it a four is because it was a tad difficult to find. Other than that it was a great place to have a spouse social, lots of history!
Shyanne Mello: This park is absolutely beautiful, and we spend a lot of time hereāespecially during the summer thanks to the splash pad. Itās a fun, family-friendly space with plenty of seating, and the natural scenery with the trees and open grassy fields feels almost magical.
However, my only concern is the water at the splash pad. Recently, itās had a very unpleasant odor, which makes me uneasy about letting the kids play in it. The smell is quite strong and honestly a bit concerning. I hope this issue can be looked into soon, as we truly love this park and want to continue enjoying it safely.
