LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Three local men have labored to create their own playground in East Lubbock.
They’ve constructed their very own bike trails and ramps, by spending countless hours digging with shovels and mixing dirt with playa lake water for over three years.
They call it Lubbock Trails, and they take pride in their work.
