Summertime fun at the splash pad
At Redbud Park, sunny days are for Little League practices and playing at the splash pad. Located a mile south of Over Place, the park received a $6 million revitalization in 2022. This community-funded initiative expanded the YMCA of Abilene with a swimming pool, sauna and child education wing. "It has been a long time since the park was renovated and the YMCA is a part of it," says Suzanne Fulkerson, owner and team leader of The Fulkerson Group brokered by Real. She's lived in Abilene for 20 years. "There is a prairie dog sanctuary right next to it. It's a gated area where they let them run. I didn't know what it was at first. I thought it was a squirrel." Fulkerson emphasizes the popularity of youth sports in Abilene, noting that the park is home to the Abilene Legacy Little League, formed by the merging Southside and Dixie Little Leagues. Many residents also join the private Abilene Country Club, which is consistently ranked as one of the top courses in the state by the Dallas Morning News.
