This park should be more cared for clean and landscaped. It has a lot of potential and is located in a good area in The center of McAllen. I was reading it was built in 2009 with a 700k invested in this park. City of Mcallen please take good care of this park.
Aside from the great slides and jungle gyms , I got to say that what I'm most amazed by is the restrooms. They always have toilet paper and soap to wash your hands. That for me gives it a 5 star rating .
Great park, incredible walking paths, and they just got some brand new playgrounds that are fantastic! The bathrooms however are really lacking. They are not just dirty, they are disgusting. The sink is temperamental, and only works when it wants to. If they fixed the bathrooms and kept up with them, this would be the perfect park.
Today we were here to revitalize some of the park. There were many groups enjoying the nice weather... a yoga group, a church group and a mommy group.
Never been to this park even though it's near where I use to work and it's such a nice park and so much shade and options for the kids and community
I continue to be dazzled with the parks and rec options here in McAllen. Bill Schupp Park is beautiful! Well maintained, fragrant and beautifully kept plants, and pet friendly. Great for a family day out or an outdoor workout.
Trees! It actually has trees!
The RGV is in need of some tree-loving-planting peeps', so in comparison this park is different than the city norm' of cement and chopped palms. It's a comfortable size park.
I grew up climbing on all these trees, and now my sons are sharing the same. The farm canals that were transformed into a surprise "sunken garden" are alright, have been neglected garden-care wise throughout the years. The landscaping is more of trimming, cutting, not so much nurturing wise, but still better than nothing. I understand things like so cost money.
It's a hot spot for people to do their stair exercises, or for kids to be in awe over the humble water fountain display. The "sunken garden" would be a superb place to play guitar, music, by the design of it, and their miniature stage that is half a water pool.- so keep that in mind for any musician peeps. Also it is a popular place for a money-free, pleasant date, so I've noticed the couples (in a none creepy way, lol).
It's not "Beverly Hills", but for the Valley it's good. They keep the grass mowed well, after establishing the sprinkler usage that was needed. I hope they don't butcher the trees rooted there, the curvy branches are unique and provide shade in unique angles. The play ground is in need of new wood chips, or whatever material they prefer. And the swings need WD40 oil, lol, the squeak can be heard across the bridge, jk! But that is minor stuff. Great area to stroller walk exercise. We enjoy this place, I hope Valley folks will respect it and take care of it by picking up their, or other's, trash.
