We moved to El Paso only a week before getting them into their first class so they were new and taking it all in and I truly believe that this gym has helped them all adjust to a new state. As beginners they have been given the fundamentals needed to start training jiu jitsu and now they ask to be there every day. Even on the weekends they look forward to Mondays at jiu jitsu. I can't thank Coach Aldo enough for being the right balance of fun, encouragement and discipline in the most beneficial way for our kids. Thank you!

The mat space is phenomenal, everyone was very welcoming and the technique of everyone I rolled with was tight. No sloppy jiu jitsu here. If your in the area you need to come check this school out. I'm just a blue belt so I don't even know what I don't know yet but I could tell that the white belts I was rolling with had a solid understand of the basics, which means they are getting great instruction. I definitely recommend this school if your living in the area.

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.

Basketball courts Playgrounds and playground equipment Restrooms 10 (approx) covered pavilions with tables BBQ pits Baseball field Large open grass areas Horseshoe pits Air assault tower Small water playground for children This place is also fence to fence grass, which is rather nice for a desert like west Texas. It's really a huge park, and only about a block away from Biggs Shoppette on the corner of Sgt Major BLVD and Luke. So you can grab whatever snacks forgot. Parking plentiful, but the bigger the event the further you'll have to park and walk lol. Normal stuff though for a Army instillation. This is a park that hosts many events. Gun shows, parties, the most recent "Pop Goes the Fort" 4th of July celebration. It's quite popular for large events do to its size etc. I like it. Straight down Sgt Maj, directly across from USASMA (the academy). If you're coming from east bliss and you hit the Biggs shoppette at the Luke intersection... You went about a block to far. Coming from main post or otherwise, Sgt Maj road opened up to 3 lanes... You went a tad to far. Check ft bliss mwr FB page for upcoming events held here at the park. There's always something going on... If not, just come let the kids run around or come get some exercise in on the basketball court. Das it Mayne

Well manicured and well supervised facility.

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.

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.

Scenic drives are kind of my thing, and the drive up Trans Mountain Road was completely satisfying…read more Not only is the drive an adrenaline rush (albeit a tad bit scary too), the city views are quite astounding at the top. It's also an excellent way to skip the traffic when traveling from New Mexico to El Paso (and probably visa versa but can't confidently confirm that part). I was leaving New Mexico after having a wonderful dinner and saw that there was a ton of traffic getting back to El Paso on my GPS. It suggested an alternate route; Trans Mountain Road. Normally, I'd probably just sit in traffic when I'm in an unfamiliar place. I'm from the Bay Area (California), and I am no stranger to horrible traffic. But who the hell wants to sit in traffic while they're on vacation?! I already deal with that 5 days out of the week, so spare me. It was still daylight so I decided to do it. I've driven on many windy roads, but I'll admit that this one was kind of nerve racking. Mostly because some of you Texans just don't know how to drive (sorry, not sorry). But once I got to the top of the hill and those views started to appear, it became enjoyable. I saw a vista point with a few cars parked in the distance and immediately pulled off to park there. Yep, this was it. I hit the jackpot. The pictures of the vista point doesn't do it justice. The views are outstanding! Panoramic beauty and lots of it. There's even a cute little lookout point and some picnic tables up there. It was windy as hell though, so not sure if I'd sit out there and eat something for fear of being blown over. Maybe in the summer when the weather is warmer and the winds are milder, but still. Fantastic city views of El Paso and some nice views of the New Mexican desert hills. This is definitely a hidden chill spot. I can only imagine how gorgeous the sunrises and sunsets are, but I'm sure it's even gnarlier to drive this road when it's dark. In any event, it's a lovely vista with an adventurous drive and a nice escape from traffic.
