Plenty of activities here with a large playground, an 18-hold frolf (frisbee golf) course, a large creek, miles of walking/biking trails, a large parking lot, swimming pool, and dog park areas for your furry partners to run around. The landscaping and upkeep is quite impressive as I found the park to be clean with the trails paved and grass cleanly kept. All the other reviews can attest to the beauty of this park. Laredo is blessed to have this here!

Beautiful park to ride your bike, walk or run. I came here to do the last, getting my running…read moreschedule done while in Laredo. There is a nice 5K route, but you can even make it a longer run by adding a section. At the park is a playground, pool, and a frisbee golf course. Around 7PM when the sun starts descending it's gets busier. I ran the first day around 5PM and that was brutal, wouldn't recommend it.

There's plenty of sites to set up vehicles and tents with hookups, picnic sites, showers, and trails to the lake for fishing and hanging out. There's also trails for biking/hiking where you can enjoy the scenery and sounds of nature. Many people commented about how dirty it can be. Fortunately, I did not encounter any of that during my visit. But I know the frustrations. People need to clean up after themselves as this nice park and camping destination is for everyone. I hope the visitors treat it that way.

First of all, you can camp and RV here at Lake Casa Blanca International State Park!! They have…read morelots of sites, many have partial hook ups, some have full hook ups, and a few have these nice cement platforms raised up and under shades!! There is also a large lake for boating and swimming (at your own risk as there are no lifeguards). Lots of shaded picnic and grilling areas, and a couple playgrounds. Inside the Ranger Station at the front entrance you can buy a Texas State Park passport. A page is devoted to each state park where you can make notes of what you did or saw and get your book stamped. If you visit a park in 2023 you can also purchase a Centenial I was at this park "collecting bugs" (taking snapshots) so my kid could identify them on a bug identification app. Found some exciting specimens that I have never come across before!! There are also a lot of birds and some other wildlife, of which I found footprints. It was really hot that June morning and I think the animals were smarter than me and hiding from the heat. This park is really good but could use a little more funding or updates. There's an unused building at the top of the hill that would make a very cute gift shop or exhibit area if someone could refurbish it and add in some cooling system. The narrow dirt trails were nice but should probably be designated either for mountain biking or for walking as a couple of bikes came upon my suddenly in areas of heavy vegetation. I'm glad I didn't step in front of them. (If there are some Girl Scouts out there, maybe you could campaign to get some local companies to come together and fix up some stuff at this gem of a state park.)

Noticing there was some tables with a covering and a pathway, I stopped to check it out and realized the pathway circles around a small area that contains trees, a mini playground, and some bike racks. Somehow this was not on google maps or YELP. Well, now it is! It's not much to see but it's nice that this neighborhood has something of a park that kids and residents can enjoy. They need to do better in keeping it clean. Found several pieces of trash laying around; I couldn't remember if there was a trash can within the park. If not, they need to add one and make sure they collect. Can't be littering and destroying a venue like this!

Edinburg Scenic Wetlands & World Birding Center is a separate place than the Edinburg Municipal…read morePark, but they are next to each other and trails lead from in to the other. The World Birding Center portion has it's own parking lot and there is a modest fee to enter. The walking trail around the pond is free. You can park at the municipal park and use the trails around the pond and/or the multiple trails that go through the park. Both places are well developed and beautifully designed. The trail around the pond in the Scenic Wetlands area has some beautiful views. There are many native plants such as mesquite, palo verde, Nepal, and other cacti for which I don't know the names. The morning I went to walk, I was admiring the nopal which was blooming profusely, as well as the ducks, herons, and other birds enjoying the water. The walking trail is pleasant, "paved" with a gravel type material, much is shaded by trees which have branches arching over the trail (that is a big plus if you go in the daytime). I didn't see a sign to indicate the length of the trail that goes around the pond, but it took only about 20 minutes to circle it. It took me longer because I kept stopping to take pictures. Once I circled the pond, I went through a portion of the municipal park where there are also some ponds, trees, playgrounds, picnic areas, ball fields, restrooms, etc. My wife and I used to take our children (when they were small) along with a loaf of bread to feed the ducks in the largest of the ponds at the park. I have not gone into the World Birding Center portion, but intend to do so in the near future.

We've been walking and recently running this every day since March when we moved to McAllen. Everyone that we chat with is so friendly. The dogs have become regulars with their green LED collars, everyone can see them! With the number of bikes on the trail, it keeps them safe at night when we run. There are water fountains along the route and almost all of them have low fountains for dogs. There are many parking places along the route as well, including several parks with playgrounds (from Trenton to Dallas Street)! This is really a hidden gem in McAllen. Most local people don't even know it's here because most of it is hidden front the steer by the canal. But come check it out early in the morning or once the sun goes down and it cools off. During the day they rent paddle boats and they offer fishing classes, and yes, people actually fish here every day. It really is quite a great spot!
