About Cleburne

The former site of a civil war outpost, Cleburne, Texas is steeped in “old west” history with a distinct Texan flavor. After the Civil War, Cleburne turned towards a more agricultural focus, and once the Santa Fe Railroad arrived into town, the city began to grow and become more modernized. Today, Cleburne is considered to be on the outskirts of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex as a suburb of these cities.

A common hazard of living in the southwest United States is the chance of tornados. Several years ago, Cleburne fell victim to a powerful tornado that devastated a large chunk of the city. Despite the damage to hundreds of homes and buildings, no deaths or serious injuries occurred.

Residents of Cleburne pride themselves on their parks and recreational facilities. Their main recreational facility is named after Booker T. Washington, and features many amenities for the citizens of Cleburne to enjoy. Sports facilities, cardio equipment, weights, and fitness classes are available to residents of all ages and skill levels. Families love that the Booker T. Washington Recreation Center is available for their health and fitness related needs.

With nearly thirty public park facilities in the city, there are so many reasons to get out and be active while enjoying the great outdoors. From parks to sports fields to the ongoing maintenance of other facilities, the Parks and Recreation Department in Cleburne works hard to keep all of these areas nice for its residents. Town events such as parades, festivals, and concerts are also organized by the Parks and Recreation Department. Families love that there is so much to do in Cleburne!

Cleburne State Park is a beautiful feature of the area – perfect for a day trip away from city life. With all kinds of outdoor activities available, families can enjoy a day hike, camping, swimming, and even fishing. Sports fields are also located in the State Park, so bring the whole team along for some fun in the sun.

When the weather gets hot (and boy, does it get hot in Texas), the Splash Station is a popular spot to go cool off. Fun for the whole family, the Cleburne Parks and Recreation Department runs this water park, which is always really busy in those hot summer months.

For some indoor fun, the Plaza Theatre Company of Cleburne is worth checking out. An in-the-round set up, this theatre crew puts on productions throughout the year, from plays to musicals and family friendly shows. It’s been open over ten years and has received many recognitions for the Company’s performances.
