When I was growing up, we went to the town pool. It had diving boards and a slide. There was a…read morekiddie pool and that was about it. Today's "town" pools are much better. Lost Kingdom is themed and has four water slides, a small lazy river, rock climbing wall, food court, and water basketball courts. The kiddie pool is great, shaded and has a few little things for the kids. Apparently they do special events for adults too. There isn't a lot of shade, unless you purchase the cabanas for like $100. They also charge a $20 cooler fee. Lots of parking, you can spend a few hours here.

When we told them that they responded with the cheese pizza was not ready that was it just handed us the pepperoni pizza without the pepperoni.

This is a very nice park! I like it! The boyfriend and me often come here during our walks around…read morethe block. We've also brought our 7-month old terror...(I mean puppy) for a walk. The puppy aka Chico also enjoys going for a walk here. Paul Harvey Park is a smaller sized park nestled in a residential area. A lot of westside parks are in residential areas which is great! There's a walking trail with lots of green grass and trees around. There's also park benches and a pool nearby. I'm not sure if it's still open or not. I don't think I've really seen people using it in all of the years I've come by. This park always looks clean and well maintained. We've seen the maintenance guys cutting the grass and watering it pretty often. There's also a shelter that's used for gatherings. The kiddos also have a small jungle gym there. Overall a nice place and it's also Chico approved!

Wow! I was trying to get to La Madeline's for an online ordered Cafe Americano and bran muffin so I…read morecould proceed to Don Haskins Recreation area with my dog. I totally forgot about the 4th of July parade that goes down Sunland and turns on Mesa!!!! I was stuck! I drove around for an hour trying to find a detour that would bring me up by Whole Foods. In the process, I found a neighborhood swimming pool that was listed on Yelp (Bel Mar Neighborhood Pool), and three parks that were not yet listed on Yelp: Paul Harvey Park, H. T. Ponsford Park and James Schwitters Family Park, all within minutes of each other. Who ever says we do not have grass and trees in El Paso needs to come check out the City of El Paso's great recreational parks and areas. So, yes, I finally did make it to La Madeleine's- I had to take I -10 W and get off at Resslear to get around the parade and found myself by a giant American flag hanging from a crane!!!! Awesome- Happy Birthday America!

I am very pleased to see such a facility exist in El Paso and you can tell it is very well taken…read morecare of. The Westside Natatorium is accessible to the public and they offer public lap reservations, host competitions, team training, and they even help kiddos how to swim. The facility is setup with separate entries for spectator viewing and there are dedicated spectator bathrooms and locker room for those who are swimming. What really stood out to me is how they have an upper deck for spectators and there are plenty of rows for friends and family to watch. If you are interested in getting a swim workout in there are two ways to go about it. You can make a reservation ahead of time for a one hour session or you can roll the dice and simply walk-in. I have yet to make a reservation because the lanes are so large that it's pretty easy to grab a lane. Each lane is able to hold up to four swimmers. I've lucked out and have only had to share at most a lane with one other swimmer. Now when it comes to pricing you can pay for a swim session at a time, at the price of .... wait for it ... it's quite unbelievable ... for three dollars! You can also get unlimited swim for thirty days for only $30.

Clean and well run. Very impressed by this facility. Great spot for athletes and folks looking for…read morea nice place to swim

The water feature on the top floor was the biggest hit for my kids. The second favorite, I believe would be the large indoor playground. I would recommend having your kids wearing a watch so they know when to come check back with you. That's one thing I wish I would've done.
