Estero Llano Grande State Park is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, located in the Rio Grande Valley and spanning 230 acres. Weslaco resident Amparo Garza frequently visits the park and has noticed significant improvements over the years, including better walking trails and increased shade. Superintendent Javier De Leon, who volunteered before the park opened in 2006, highlights its transformation from a bare field to a popular destination for bird watchers, attracting around 30,000 visitors annually. The park has documented 340 bird species and aims to inspire environmental stewardship among visitors. A ceremony is planned for November to commemorate the anniversary.
