Comanche Trail Playground

Out at Comanche Trail Park, this is one of those spots where Big Spring families have been bringing their kids for years — and for good reason. The park itself gives you plenty of room to spread out, which makes it a solid choice when you want more than just a postage-stamp playspace. Kids up to about 12 get a decent run of it here. It’s the kind of place you pair with a longer afternoon at the park rather than a quick in-and-out stop.
