Hackberry Park

A Quiet Corner of McAllen

Located in a residential pocket of McAllen, Hackberry Park is one of those sweet neighborhood spots that locals have treasured for generations. It's rarely packed with crowds, making it a great escape when you need some breathing room and green space.

The park has a gentle, laid-back vibe that's hard to find in busier recreation areas. It's nothing flashy or enormous, but that's exactly what gives it its charm - a simple, peaceful place where you can actually hear yourself think.

Get Your Game On

The pickleball courts have gotten quite popular in recent years. If you're into this sport, you'll find courts available - just keep in mind they tend to fill up on weekday evenings when locals come out to play.

Sports options don't end there. There's a tennis court for those who prefer a larger racket and a basketball court for hoops enthusiasts. One small drawback: the lighting could use some improvement if you're planning an evening match.

Kid-Friendly Zone

If you've got little ones in tow, you'll appreciate the playground equipment where kids can climb, slide, and burn off energy. The family-friendly setting makes this a natural gathering spot for neighborhood parents watching their children discover the joys of outdoor play.

Community Living Room

Hackberry is a green living room for the surrounding community - a place to stretch your legs, breathe fresh air, and maybe nod hello to your neighbors. The picnic area provides a nice spot to share a casual outdoor meal or simply relax with friends.

While modest in size, this well-kept park offers something increasingly precious: a calm, accessible touch of nature right in the neighborhood. It's not trying to be the biggest or most elaborate park in town - it's simply a reliable, pleasant space where community happens naturally.
