Finding Lindsay's town centre
City Hall is a useful civic reference point, but Lindsay does not define a formal town-centre boundary. The city identifies 608 Ash Street as its address; City Hall houses the city offices, police department, water department, court and city council meeting rooms.
For a Main Street landmark, St. Peter Catholic Church stands at 424 W. Main Street. It is one of Texas’s sixteen painted churches and is open during daylight hours.
The first church was built in 1892, with its first Mass held on Easter Sunday that year. A later building, completed in 1903, was destroyed by a cyclone in 1917; parishioners rebuilt it, and the latest restoration was completed in 2012.
What can you do in Lindsay's parks?
Lindsay’s parks offer walking routes and outdoor recreation within town. J.M. Lindsay deeded 9.97 acres for the community’s city park in 1905. Today, J.M. Lindsay Park has a half-mile walking path, pavilion, horseshoe pits, sand volleyball court, tennis courts, playground equipment and a nine-hole disc-golf course.
Parkview Park has a quarter-mile walking path, picnic tables and benches. The city created it in July 2009 after purchasing homes destroyed in the 2007 flood. If you plan to visit J.M.
