With spring fast approaching, there are many outdoor activities in Lubbock to spend weekends doing. Texas Tech departments such as the Outdoor Pursuits Center offer free weekly classes and activities for students to get outside and moving.
âWe have a lot of different activities usually in the late afternoon when people donât have class, and we provide all of the equipment [for these activities] for free except for bike rentals which cost $5,â Payson Guillote, who works at the OPC, said.Â
The OPC hosts volunteer events such as picking up trash around Lubbock. There are also weekly yoga classes at Urbanovsky Park on Mondays, social bike rides on Tuesdays and kayaking pool sessions on Thursday, according to the OPC website.Â
