Snyder
“Come for the weekend, stay for a lifetime… America’s Hometown, Snyder.”
The peaceful movement of traffic that meanders through the small town of Snyder is enough to allow a traveler to stop and enjoy the array of wildflowers that line the roads. A view of nothing but wide open spaces is picturesque for someone looking to make a new beginning. A friendly smile, trusting handshake, and warm hug are the first things to greet any newcomer who steps into the community. Anyone who comes will find it easy to stretch their legs and enjoy the relaxation in this place where they may one day call home.
Location
Snyder is nestled in Scurry County and is within 90 miles of five major cities including, Abilene, Lubbock, San Angelo, Midland, and Odessa. The wide roads and calm traffic allows anyone to pass freely through town. It is the ideal location for easy access to anything not offered in the small town, while living away from the hustle and bustle of a big city.
Medical
Health and wellness are taken to heart in this small town. Snyder’s local hospital, Cogdell Memorial, provides air assistance to regional medical facilities and also offers a smaller family clinic. Snyder also has a Rehab and Wellness Center and a dedicated Assisted Living floor at the hospital. Home health services are available through the hospital or private services. A unique part of Snyder’s medical system includes the specialty clinic which allows specialists to come to Snyder without the patient having to leave town. Specialists include Neurologists, Gynecologists, Cardiologists, and more.
Recreation and activities
This family-oriented hometown offers a safe environment to all of its residents with a wide range of recreation and activities to enjoy. Any form of outdoor leisure can be found within Snyder’s County-owned parks. Its biggest is Towle Park which includes a newly built swimming pool, pavilion, sand volleyball courts, an amphitheater, playground, and a fishing dock off of the water where fish are stocked annually for the summer. There is also a 2-mile lighted walking path and a 1-mile nature walk for anyone who wants to go for a nice stroll. The park also holds a baseball and softball field, equivalent to the semi-pros, for those springtime ball games. Two 9-hole golf courses are also ideal places for past time in Snyder, whether it’s at the Scurry County golf course or the Sammy Bough golf Course on WTC’s campus. Snyder is also big into hunting. Hunters can find game year-round and can even take a visit to the local taxidermy school.
