Great place to be if you want to get some fresh air outdoors! Absolutely amazing scenery at night. Took some great pictures at sunset. I really like the paved roads. I wish I had my toad bike. Would make for some great road biking. I also saw some signs that said watch out for alligators . I didn't bump into any. Really relaxing trail. If you are in town for business and want to get in some cardio before you head back to your hotel I suggest checking out Thai trail. Not sure how this only has six review. Maybe no one knows about it. Definitely a hidden gem in my opinion. I really enjoyed the trail and will be back for sure.

It has two equally separate sections for small and large breeds. Both sections have plenty of shaded benches for the owners and there are even a bunch of agility objects spread throughout. This is a pretty nice addition to the Doolittle park. This park was always nice to come and walk around with your pets, but there was no area for them to run around off leash, and this is perfect! It is still brand new, so I doubt that a lot of people know about it but I am sure it will become a local favorite for people once they discover it. There is a water station out front. There are also poop bag stations both in both sides of the doggy parks.

It's right next to the dog park with plenty of shade, and places sit if you're just here to observe/ watch your kids. Live that they have something like this for kids to spend time outdoors.

I come to this park about 3-4 times a week. It's a pretty good size park with a basketball court, volleyball court the kids playground, a pergola, and some huge rocks people can use to workout. On average there's about 20 people at the park when I go but about 12 people are always at the basketball court. So if you want to play basketball, get here early because there's only one basket. The location of the park is really good because there's a nice neighborhood behind the park and Idea School to the left of it so it's pretty safe. And most importantly, there are no clowns in the premises lol! This park is nice for picnics just make sure the kids go to the restroom at home because they don't have any restroom facilities at the park. While I was running one evening, I saw a family pull in, get some bags down from the truck, the dog, and sat under the pergola to enjoy their dinner outside in the fresh air. (It's October so it's pretty fresh at night)

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.

I've seen lots of bright and colorful birds here especially when they migrate down during the colder season. There are some stagnant ponds inside so you have to walk in a bit further to get to the flowing Arroyo Colorado River. I love the various little gardens/sanctuaries throughout the park (such as an edible garden and a peace walk). Be careful of coming here after a rain (our shoes were CAKED with mud) and beware of the multiple ant hills! There are little sheds here that look kind of sketch full of graffiti in vulgar language you don't want your kid to see lol so I wish they can maintain it a bit better. Overall it's a great nature escape and I've come back multiple times!
