Confirmed from Bill Schupp Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Family-oriented park on 19 acres offers picnicking, a fitness trail, merry-go-rounds & play areas.

We have LARP here every Saturday @2pm. i love coming out to this park with plenty of shade and fighting with foam weapons under the trees with friends. We also come out to this park Mondays @4:30pm to LARP with the HFS group. So much fun! ❤
Very nice park. Love the old trees. Nice walking trail. Lots of prairie dogs. They have drum circles sometimes. Picnic tables, two bathrooms. Parking g is on Zinnia street side
It's our first time there. We rarely go to the McAllen/Edinburg area, but my family loved it. There are playgrounds where the kiddos had a lot of fun, and I liked the trail. I also saw some squirrels, who were apparently used to people because they didn't run away when my family was around.
