These free things to do in Sulphur Springs, Texas will make you glad you stopped while traveling through the area.
Celebration Plaza: See-Through Bathrooms, Strutting Crosswalk Sign & A Haunted Courthouse
This is the heart of town and where most of the action happens.
And by action, I mean a mix of oddball art, community events, and a strangely photogenic bathroom.
- Glass Bathrooms of Sulphur Springs – You read that right. These rare mirrored-glass restrooms let you see out while staying completely private. People come here just to take photos of them (and yes, they’re clean, fully functional and has climate control!)
- Strutting Crosswalk Sign – Right off the plaza, you’ll spot a quirky crossing sign that looks like it’s confidently strutting across the street. It’s the kind of tiny detail that makes people smile—and a fun photo op!
- Hopkins County Courthouse – This bold Romanesque building anchors the plaza. Think gothic stonework, gargoyles, and whispers of hauntings. Even if you don’t go inside, it’s a must-see from the outside. You can’t miss it if you are at the plaza.
You’ll also find chess tables, a splash pad for kids, and occasional live music—completely free and open to the public.
Coleman Park: Lakes, Waterfalls & Ducks
Just a short drive (or long walk) from downtown, Coleman Park is where the town slows down. It’s green, peaceful, and full of free ways to relax.
- Walking trails with shade
- A lake with friendly ducks and turtles
- Tiny waterfalls along the creek
- Free disc golf course
It’s a perfect place to bring lunch, do a little grounding, or let kids (or dogs) run around. And it’s all free.
Local Street Art & Walkable Charm
You won’t find giant murals plastered all over town, but you will find hidden bursts of creativity if you take your time walking the brick streets.
Look for:
- Painted benches
- Art-filled alleyways
- Bright crosswalks
- Tiny design surprises tucked into the sidewalk
Sulphur Springs is one of those towns that rewards slow travel. The more you pay attention, the more you notice the creativity everywhere.
Stroll the Brick Streets for Free
Downtown Sulphur Springs has kept its historic red-brick streets, which gives everything a cozy, throwback feel.
The shops and cafes are mostly local, and you can walk for blocks without running into a chain store.
Window shopping, people-watching, and photographing old signage—it all feels easy here. And free.
Heritage Grounds (No Admission Needed Outside)
The Heritage Park & Museum charges a fee for the full guided tour, but you can still walk the outer grounds and peek at the historic structures for free. These include:
- Restored pioneer cabins
- Old windmills
- Vintage wagons
It’s like a bite-sized glimpse into Texas history—without spending anything.
