Tres Lagos Park

A Breath of Fresh Air

Located in northern McAllen, Tres Lagos Park is a spacious outdoor retreat within the sprawling 2,571-acre Tres Lagos master-planned community. Whether you're looking to spend quality time with the family or simply need some fresh air, this public park offers a variety of amenities. Open daily from 6AM to 11PM, it's become a favorite spot for locals seeking a little escape from the everyday hustle.

Waterfront Wonders

One of the park's standout features has to be its three large lakes, home to over 100,000 fish that make for some excellent catch-and-release fishing (just leave those fishing nets at home!). Scenic walking paths encircle these peaceful bodies of water, ideal for your morning jog or evening stroll. Many visitors bring their kayaks to paddle across the calm waters, and the sunset views from the middle of the lake are quite spectacular.

Kid-Approved Play Zones

If you've got little ones in tow, you'll appreciate the multiple playground areas scattered throughout the park. These modern play zones feature equipment for various age groups - slides, swings, bridges, and climbing structures that will keep the kids entertained for hours. Safety hasn't been overlooked either, with engineered wood fiber covering the ground beneath the equipment. There's a particularly impressive playground that's tall enough to excite older kids while still being accessible to the younger crowd.

Trails for Days

Feel like stretching your legs? The park features a network of over 20 miles of hike and bike trails winding throughout the Tres Lagos community. Whether you prefer paved paths or more natural terrain, these trails accommodate casual strollers and serious fitness buffs alike. We appreciate the exercise equipment stations positioned along the walking trail - useful for mixing up your cardio with some strength training.

Get Your Game On

Sports enthusiasts will find a variety of athletic facilities available. Challenge friends to a match on the tennis courts or basketball courts, spike a ball over the volleyball nets (including beach volleyball!), or kick around a ball on the soccer field. There's plenty of open green space too, ideal for impromptu frisbee games or simply sprawling out on a blanket with a good book.

All the Extras

Tres Lagos also includes several practical amenities. You'll come across clean public restrooms (including family facilities), numerous picnic areas with tables, and BBQ grills within the grounds - essentially everything you need for a full day outdoors. Hungry? Food trucks regularly park on-site with plenty of tasty options. If you happen to visit on the first Sunday of the month, you're in for a treat with the farmer's market, where local vendors sell fresh produce, handcrafted items, and delicious food, all accompanied by live music.

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Dog parents, rejoice! Your furry companions are more than welcome here, with two separate dog parks - one for the small pups and another for their larger counterparts. The park thoughtfully provides pet waste stations with bags to keep the grounds clean. The trails and open spaces make this a particular hit with the canine crowd and their humans.

Everyone Belongs

Tres Lagos Park was designed with everyone in mind, featuring accessibility elements like 8-foot-high accessible ramps in certain areas. There's plenty of parking available, but it does tend to fill up during weekends and special events, so you might want to arrive early during peak times. The layout provides space for exercise, play, and outdoor enjoyment.
