Oval Park

Oval Park is a 2.4-acre public space located in McAllen, Texas, adjacent to the McAllen Convention Center. The park features a palm-lined boulevard leading to its main entrance, creating an inviting approach for visitors. Native trees and pergolas provide shade throughout the area, offering respite from the Texas sun.

A centerpiece of Oval Park is its impressive water feature - a large fountain that flows into a reflective pond. This aquatic element adds a sense of tranquility and visual interest to the landscape. On the east side of the park, there is a multifunctional platform equipped with an acoustical shell, designed to host outdoor concerts and performances.

Oval Park serves as a venue for various community events and festivals. It regularly hosts the free Sunset Live concert series and is a key location for McAllen's annual Fiesta de Palmas celebration. The park's open layout and amenities make it suitable for both large gatherings and casual everyday use by local residents and visitors.

The park's design incorporates elements that reflect the natural beauty of the Rio Grande Valley, with its use of native plantings and open green spaces. Its proximity to the Convention Center also makes it a convenient outdoor extension for conference attendees and event-goers looking for a breath of fresh air.
