OKAY so today is July 15 2025 and me, my sister and my my mom came here to practice in the swimming…read morepool becauee me and my sister are on a swim team and wr were swimming for a while and then we got a bit tired and decided to go were the slide is and all the little kids stuff but not even 10 minutes in we got in trouble for going in there, why? Well supposly if you go in the swimmer area and then go into the kids area it's bad cause of the wate which obviously is weird so my mom decided to go talk to the manager and no she is not a karen or whatever for talking to the manager she had an reason to talk to him and she came back and said that he said it got to crowded in the kids area and the swimmer area which was totally different from what the lifeguards said which is crazy that they just lied to our faces and honestly the swimmer area and kid area was NOT crowded at all only one lane in the swimmer area was being used by a younger kid like younger than my sister and we even saw her go on the pool with the slide and she didn't get in trouble but we did? made no sense and it was just very weird and the manager was very petty to my mom which is not correct to do and the lifeguards lied straight to our face and even if it was true and that something with the pool water, fix it! it's not our problem you can't fix your own pool that has been up for a while and no wonder because the water looks bubbly which is not because of the water splasing onto each other it's gross water and the stairs up to the slide are disgustin as well, like hire a cleaner if you can because i do not wanna be stepping on that. Over all this pool sucks no offense, it's gross and all the above and the manager, Eric or Erick, please be better manger and stop being so petty you are aleast 40 or older to be acting like this like if your pool is causing this annoyance to you, you should even own a pool or work at it. Goodday.

The membership price seems reasonable, but I do not know if that is per person or for a family. The hours are great too- I am currently contemplating going over after work and taking a dip!

Went on a teacher's discount. For 5$, it was awesome especially since food & drinks are pricey.

Located in Ascarate Park the Ascarate Aquatic Center has a 50-meter Olympic size outdoor…read morecompetition pool. It is one of the few Olympic-size competition pools in El Paso County.

One of the prettiest parks you'll find in El Paso and it definitely houses a lot of great memories…read morefor locals. Everything from concerts to 5Ks are held at this park and at one time this was home to Western Playland (before it's move to NM, it actually was a great amusement park). In the center is the lake where you can go fishing or paddle out on a boat. I'm not entirely sure why, but people don't swim here. It's actually out of El Pasoans character to swim in anything but an actual designated pool which completely breaks my heart. I grew up swimming in creeks, lakes, and rivers and never once did I question the green stuff growing down the ways or whatever touched my foot (you always just assumed it was a catfish), but Ascarate Lake is actually a clean looking lake so it is literally the ideal swimming spot. My friends from Wisconsin wouldn't hesitate to jump in Ascarate...just saying. Ascarate Park may in fact be the largest park in El Paso and it's one of my favorites. There are a few improvements that I think could be made like adding a dog park and allowing re-admittance at events (you have to pay every time even though they give you a ticket, what the hell is the ticket for then?), but overall it's a great place for an event or an evening out with friends and family. Oh and it's free on the weekdays!

Although the lake in Ascarate Park is man-made, it's sure great to see water for some change…read more Entry is free on the weekdays, and $2 per car on the weekends. This park is pretty big, and I love that there's a gravel path that wraps around the lake. Word of warning, I recommend paying attention to weather forecasts and avoid running outside just before/during a dust storm unless you love sand in your mouth. and eyes. There several great reasons to making your way over to Ascarate Park. Being active outside is one of them. Whether you're participating in an official running race or just getting some miles in your shoes, it's a relaxing area to run (and/or jog, walk, bike). There are quite a few 5K runs that take place here including the Walking Dead 5K Run that takes place on the weekend of Halloween ('real' zombies are after your two flags; terrify and fun!). This also the place for HUGE concerts/music festivals. There's certainly enough field space. These big events are usually well advertised for months over the radio. Or check out the 'Events' tab on Yelp! Family time is another reason to visit this park. Every time I've been here I've seen families picnicking/barbecuing under the picnic awnings. These are located throughout the park. There are also at least two play grounds for the kiddos! Definitely a family-friendly place. If only I lived closer to Ascarate, I would spend more evenings running here. But feel free to reach out if you're interested in finding other running routes/paths near Fort Bliss/Airport or on the Westside of town.
