  • Lubbock Parks and Recreation programs

  • Lubbock Public Library events

    It gives families a city-run backup with current event listings when High Plains wind, heat, or pool timing makes the outdoor plan less practical.

    Pick the branch nearest the park, pool, or errand route so the backup does not become another cross-town trip.

  • Lubbock Public Library calendar

    It keeps weekend planning tied to current branch events families can check by date.

    Filter by date and branch so the weekend plan stays close to the park, pool, or errand route.
