A nice place to social distance while enjoying lunch out of the car.

This is a great little park for families, especially during the holidays when its decorated with Christmas lights. There are public restrooms, gym equipment, two playgrounds, picnic areas and more. The only downside is that its near busy roads and isnt fenced in, but overall, a great spot for families. Its also right across from HEB, so you can play before or after you shop!

So far theres been sufficient parking at 7 am. Theres a restroom for convenience and very nice paved walking/running/biking path. The Parks paths connect to other parks so you can lengthen your exercise routine if you want. The best thing is that you are away from cars and buildings while walking the paths. There are moments when it feels like you are actually away from town. The path winds past and across the arroyo river. Lots of birds singing and flying by. Not too crowded right now, but not sure how this changes after the vid restrictions.

My family came to have a quick picnic. Sadly the park is closed due to covid. We enjoyed the shade from the trees. Only thing is that the bathrooms were a little dirty.

Its a park. Its different than all the other parks in Harlingen. The hill, the random piece of cement on the land, the trees, the bridge.... I can keep going. Its also a great place to exercise with friends. Outdoors of course..

My family and I absolutely love this park! Just a short drive from Treasure Hills the park covers +10 acres of land, running/cycling trail, has a playground for the kiddos, two cover picnic areas and several tables. Contains a rest room with water fountain. Great spot for all types of bikes, there are a few drops, and paths for hard trails and full suspension bikes.

Sun faded some of the signs (appearantly saying no bikes on certain sections of the trail) was pointed out to me by a kind couple not wanting me to get in Trouble. Not much, if any, narration along the 3.6 mile round trip to read etc. But still decently pretty trail..

The city of Harlingen need to go check on parks and do more upgrades and fix the slides that are broken, add more mulch, and add more rides for the kids, my three and for year old cant even v climb the first stairs, definitely need more maintenance.keep in mind this park should be the one to look better, is consider the main Park of Harlingen,

Review №64

Mckelvey park is cool because of that downhill road going down which is fun to ride with bikes but its the part coming back that is lame . They have good water fountains which I wished they had at Arroyo park. I wish they still had that little water pond like back in the day but its cool I guess.
