On Saturday, October 19, 2013 a ribbon cutting and Grand Opening Ceremony was held at the brand new La Feria Recreation Center at 901 Pancho Maples Drive in La Feria. The event “several years in the making” marks the end of a long road for city officials and La Feria Parks and Recreation. The Recreation Center was made possible through the generous funding of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD), the United States Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), Texas A&M University – Kingsville (TAMUK) and TCEQ/EPA, and the La Feria Economic Development Corporation.
