Horrible Sunday afternoon we had. We were among the few that were caught up in the Storm!! Myself, hubby and son were bike riding and were towards the back just passing the HEB Park when it started raining super hard. We were stuck, so we started running towards the City truck asking for help but the evil man ignored us! He was alone on the phone just ignoring us that's when it started hailing so hard and he kept ignoring us then just turned and told us NO! So we ran towards other trucks just asking for shelter but everyone told us NO until this man, his son and a little dog rescued us in a small white truck 🙏. We didn't even get his name🤦♀️ he took us to our vehicle. 🙌So grateful for him and his amazing heart. Sir if you ever get to read this THANK YOU 🙏 FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS ❤️ MAY OUR GOOD LORD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! BECAUSE AS WE SAW YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO OPEN YOUR DOOR FOR US AS MANY OTHERS DIDN'T EITHER! THANK...

During visiting times there's a fee, but I think it's worth the cost, b/c there aren't time limits. There is also a community garden, lots of different trails and piers. I like this park better than any other (even in McAllen). Nice place for the kids to release their wiggles, and for dogs who have the...
Read moreOverall, a very nice park. A multitude of soccer and baseball fields. Plenty of parking. Plenty of covered structures for inclement weather. There are numerous playgrounds for children of all ages and abilities. Even some adaptive equipment for children with handicaps. The park is interlaced with paved and crushed granite gravel sidewalk so easy wheelchair access for all who choose to attend. Plenty of covered picnic tables and charcoal grills. Park dotted with small lagoons with turtles and Ducks. Nice distraction, leads to lots of mosquitoes but this is South Texas. Overall a very nice facility and much nicer than what is within Edinburg proper. Plenty of parking so easy access for all. Overall Park is clean plenty of trash receptacles. Multiple sets of portable toilets...
