Though Whitesboro, TX is a small town, you’ll still find opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. When it comes to outdoor activities, the city has you covered. Bring your family and take advantage of the following places where you can go for fresh air and relaxation.

1. Charles Whitecotton Park

Calling all you baseball lovers out there! Whether you’re on a local team and want to play here, or you’re just a fan who likes to sit on the bleachers and cheer the team on, this is your place. Bring your own chairs, food, and beverage and enjoy the games. There is also a snack bar that is open during game time. You can also bring your tennis rackets and take advantage of the courts. You’ll also find clean restrooms and swings for the kiddos.

Charles Whitecotton Park is located at 300 Meadowcreek Dr.

2. Horseshoe Bend RV Campgrounds

You don’t need to camp here to come out and enjoy everything the place has to offer. You’ll be captivated by the tranquility and beauty of the area. Whether you canoe or kayak from the beachfront access to the Red River, hike along one of the nature trails, throw out your fishing lines, play volleyball on the beach, or take out your binoculars and watch the various species of birds, this is a must-stop location.

The kids will love dipping into the river to cool off on a hot day, too! Don’t have your own canoe? You can rent them here for only $10. Visit Horseshoe at 4411 County Rd. 127.

3. Whitesboro Swimming Pool

Who doesn’t like a good old-fashioned community pool, complete with a diving board and a slide? Bring the whole family and let the kiddos get some of that crazy energy out as they splash away while the adults are shaded from the hot sun by an umbrella. This decades-long facility also offers swim lessons, so inquire with the friendly staff if your child is interested.

Be sure to bring your picnic basket and take advantage of the picnic tables, or just bring a blanket to sit on the well-manicured lawn. This location doesn’t just boast a clean swimming pool: they also have walking trails and a playground. All in all, you can spend hours here in this very enjoyable environment. Visit this establishment at 400 Wilson St.
