Daffodil Park

Play & Leisure Options

Positioned in McAllen sits this 10-acre green space that's excellent for a casual day outdoors. The park features a 9-hole disc golf course, established in 2014 and welcoming to players of all skill levels.

The course has concrete tee pads and DISCatcher Pro targets - a solid setup for a neighborhood park. With holes ranging from 210 to 425 feet, it's an ideal spot if you're just getting your disc golf wings. More experienced? No worries - you can challenge yourself with the additional "Safari back 9" layout for a more complete round.

Amenities & Attractions

One cool feature is that the course is lighted for evening play - though you'll need to flip the switches at each basket yourself. If you're looking to meet fellow disc golfers, drop by for the Tuesday doubles night to make some new friends on the course.

Got kids in tow? The park includes a decent playground area with four baby swings, four regular swings, and slides. It's set at the end of a paved walkway away from traffic, which is nice for safety, but you might want to bring sun protection as shade is limited.

For those looking to get some steps in, there's a paved walking path winding through the park. You'll find benches scattered throughout when you need a breather, and plenty of open green spaces ideal for a picnic or just sprawling out with a good book.

Natural Setting

The park is dotted with trees that serve double duty as disc golf obstacles and welcome shade providers. Palm trees add a touch of Texas character to this elongated green space. If you enjoy casual wildlife watching, the open areas make for some light birding opportunities - nothing extraordinary, but a nice bonus for nature enthusiasts.

Visitor Tips

Just a heads up - amenities here are pretty basic. There's only a portable toilet near the entrance, so plan accordingly. Parking is available in a small lot, which usually has plenty of space since the park rarely gets overcrowded.

You can visit Daffodil Park from 6 AM to 11 PM daily. It's not the fanciest park in town, but there's something charming about this modest, tree-filled community space that offers a little something for everyone in the heart of McAllen.
