Sherwood Park
Bellaire Park
One of the simple pleasures of summer life is being able to spend it in a verdant spot like Noel Heritage Plaza. In the summer the park hosts free evening concerts, and adjacent is the Ector County Library.
McKinney Park is not only Odessa's first community park, but it is also the center for holiday events. A great hangout spot for kids as well as adults, there is much to enjoy at this park, including shaded picnic spots, a jogging trail and a playground. Also available at this pioneer park is a community pool and a sprayground, which are great to cool off on an Odessa scorcher. In December watch out for "Starbright Village," as McKinney Park lights up the sky.
