Where do I begin? To be perfectly honest, I was not sure what to expect my first visit to the center. The day was really rainy and I wasn't even sure if the yoga class that I was planning on attending would be schedule to continue as planned. And the rain didn't seem to stop the wonderful quality of staff and instructors that were part of the Nature Center that day, as I'm sure they are every day. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone that he's able and willing, or alive for that matter, Q take a chance and Trust in nature and in my review and take the free yoga class that's offered on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. Classes are at 7: 30 p. M. And the two instructors are fantastic yoga instructors. I have had two of the best classes and I have attended in this last week. And I don't save these things lightly. The center itself as you walked down from the parking lot is very well-maintained. It's easy to see that there is a lot of care that goes into keeping up the facilities bed give us so much in return. The visitors signing desk attended by a helpful and whether or not I was in the right place. It was a no mess no fuss sign-in process, and I was pointed in the right direction within minutes. The instructors set up a tarp and have blocked me on those for your yoga students. You will have to bring your own that, but it is well worse setting up your mat and practicing under the big blue sky. The facility being in such good condition really makes for a wonderful perspective on yoga which really involves connecting with yourself and with your environment. The mosquitoes are no strangers to the outdoors; but that is really the only Houston score problems that you might encounter if you forget your bug spray. And even if you did forget your bug spray, the instructors and other students are wonderful and may even share their bug spray, all you will need to do is ask! I'm really grateful for those that are involved in the continuance of the sunset yoga classes because they are free and really should be utilize and appreciated in taking advantage of because this type of opportunity comes from a lot of hard work, I'm sure. I'm proud to know that the community, McAllen, is emphasizing or placing importance on these types of outdoor and physical activities and allowing them to be free of charge. it really doesn't get any better to do something you would classes. Thank you to the Nature Center and I highly recommend this for anybody that is visiting orange living...

Beautiful nature walk in the middle of busy city. Small but every step of the walk has many different types of cactus, plants, flowers, and tree branches comingle with cactus. You can hear birds are talking to each other; Long tailed birds spread their wings showing off their beauty in bright yellow. These strange shaped tree top branches provide umbrella under the sun. If you are lucky, you may be greeted by the local rabbit that she'll lead you to mini turkey looking birds walking on the trail before you. Take your time and observe them. Many thanks to thinkers, makers and care givers of this nature walk. Hope to see more of these...

This is a park that is in the middle of transition. The pathways are beautiful and easy to navigate. Many flowering shrubs and trees attracting a lot of butterflies. Birds were swimming in the Resaca. While walking down named trails, you are serenaded by many bird songs. They have been working hard to get the park back into the vision that is expected for McAllen. The Website states there is a Visitor Center for check-in. It is a locked up mobile home. If you want restrooms, they are clean and in working order with water and flush toilets. I will come back and see the progress and visit...

Of all the things than McAllen does really well... This is not one of them. It's obvious that at it's inception, someone special put some thoughtful deliberation and planning into this place. The trails were very well designed and there's plenty of open spaces too, with tables and bathrooms. But overall, it seems that McAllen Parks & Recreation has forgotten about this place that could be such an enrichment for the whole community. Either that, or they just put the money that should have gone towards it into something else. Check out the photos, unkempt and overgrown.
