A unique kid-sized town where children learn hands-on rules of  pedestrian, bicycle and traffic safety. Operated by the City of Lubbock Parks and Recreation, Safety City is open from 8 to 9 a.m. for parents or children who  may want to come walk for exercise or for just plain fun. You can bring the children in their strollers and go for a quiet walk on
the streets at Safety City where it's safe, supervised and away from traffic. Oh yes, and its FREE.  Safety City also offers Open Recreation on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Kids can come out and skate or ride their bike for $2.00 per  child. Safety City can be rented for private parties during the summer. They  provide the invitations, cake, punch, "goody bags," a special gift for the  birthday child, supervision and playtime. Up to 10 children: $100 for the group  or $75 if you provide your own cake. 42nd Street and Ave. U (inside Clapp Park);  767-2712

Garden and Arts Center
The Lubbock Municipal Garden and Arts Center opened its doors in June 1960 and  celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2010.   Generations of patrons have walked  through the doors to experience art through classes taught by professional artists,  joined one the center’s many cultural groups or garden clubs, and made the GAC the most-used facility in the City of  Lubbock Parks and Recreation System. The Center has become home to many award-winning artists and gardeners and a  haven for all members of the community looking for a place to explore the artist in themselves.
