A sampling of these includes the Midland Amateur Radio Club, The Chess Club, The Native Plant Society, The Midland Gem and Mineral Society, Midland Junior Baseball Association, Midland United Girls Softball Association, Permian Basin Roadrunners Jogging Club, Flatlanders Ski Club, Midland Bicycle Association, and many dance schools. Scenic lakes, campgrounds and wilderness areas are easily accessible to recreation-oriented Midlanders. Midland is only a few hours drive from the dramatic scenery of Big Bend National Park, the underground splendor of Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and the natural beauty of the Guadalupe and Davis Mountains. The ski slopes of Colorado and New Mexico are within driving distance, and the twelve lakes that are within a 150-mile radius of Midland provide a variety of opportunities for water lovers. Continuing residential and retail growth is helping make the tall city a regional hub for shopping, entertainment, dining, and recreation.
Midland has plenty to offer and it is a great place to call home.
