I got out for a while this morning to start an informal inventory of what I've begun to think of as the unrestored "Lubbock Prairie Park." Neither the city or anyone else with any power has declared this area for a future prairie park, but since the internet is filled with crazies making bold claims, I'll make my own.

I'm pretending to be somewhat systematic in this venture, so I tried to (mostly) focus on one island created from the web of bike trails.

Like most other unmowed areas in Yellowhouse, there is a mix of good and bad. The prickly pear needs to be addressed and the Siberian elms need to go. This side of the area doesn't have nearly as much kochia as the southeast side.

If it were to be ever be restored, it would look amazing.
