I think Memorial Park is one of the nicest parks in El Paso. It's always been one of my favorites…read more I'm surprised I haven't written a review about it! It has a lot of lush green grass and trees, especially during the warmer months. Since El Paso is located in the desert, we don't have too much of that. It's kind of far from my house so I don't come to it that often. If I lived closer, I would definitely walk around and relax. There's also a swimming pool and library. I've never been to either one. Before Covid, I brought my son to a festival at Memorial Park. There was a lot of vendors and children's activities. My son enjoyed it. Memorial Park is also close to the rose garden (another favorite of mine!). This is a nice park to have a gathering with friends and family. One of my friends had a memorial for her son here. She brought food and drinks, along with a singer and butterflies to release. She held the memorial one year after her son passed away. It was a beautiful tribute for him. Memorial Park is also a nice place to take photos since it's so green pretty much all year long. People/photographers come here to take wedding, quinceanera and graduation photos. Check out Memorial Park if you haven't already.

This is one of the nicest city parks in El Paso IMHO. It's in a very nice historic district and…read moreneighborhood of Manhattan Heights. I guess I'm partial to it since it's not too far from my residence, and I have been frequenting this park in recent months ever since I relocated to Northeast El Paso. Even comparing to the Chamizal National Memorial Park, I like this one better--it's kind of hard to put into words, but it gives me more soothing and calming feelings as I walk through it. It also gives ample shades during hot summer days since there are many large trees. This park is fairly large and includes Aquatic Center, El Paso Public Library, & El Paso Municipal Rose Garden in the vicinity. Families enjoy using the playground with their children. If you walk around the perimeter of the park and/or through the hills, it provides you with a good walk routes. I see groups of people enjoying yoga or tai chi, others cycling through the park. I often see couples/families getting their wedding/engagement/quinceañera photos done here since it's such a beautiful setting. There are ample picnic benches throughout the park. There aren't too many shelters, but I see folks bringing their own shade tents and chairs. If you need a place to relax and enjoy nature, this is the place to be in El Paso. Highly recommended!!

I have been going to this park since I first moved to the westside when I was a kid and not much…read morehas changed since then and in my option that is a good thing because I remember as a kid this was the BEST park in all El Paso because it looked like a castle to me and now it's my nephews favorite park to come and play! I still venture to this park quite often, even on days without my nephew because it is also a heavily Pokémon Go populated park! So, if you either have children in the family or love to play Pokémon Go or heck even both, this is the park for you!

The red swings for mothers with little one or so that those with disabilities can swing is the reason we always come back to this playground, as well as the wall around the play area to keep the little ones from running out of the park!! If you want to bring a little one to a park & feel safe for not only your little one but also yourself this is the park!!!!

We were able to easily park on the street right in front of the park. There is a nice sized play structure for the kids, as well as a walking path and some green area.

Every once in awhile I took my son to run around and buy an ice cream from one of the many ice cream trucks that park in the area. I've even had picnics with friends and family here. This is a pretty nice park to host a family reunion or party. It isn't as nice as Memorial Park or others but it's alright. There's lots of grass, baseball fields and a nearby recreation center (named after Gary Del Palacio, an El Paso businessman and community activist who was murdered in 2005). There's also walking trails and tennis courts here. Whenever we're in monsoon season (during the summer months usually), this park floods a lot. I've seen and heard a lot of tadpoles here. A huge pond forms all over the park. As gross as it may sound, I think people actually get into the pond/water. I would advise against it. There might be dog poop, who knows what else can be in the water? Overall, a pretty good park. Check it out at least once or twice. Pack a picnic lunch, chairs, blanket and visit. Don't bring beer or wine! Sorry!

You have ice cream trucks by the handful on weekends. It's funny that this park is under Album. It's actually called Eastwood Park.

The park is packed with family friendly amenities- off street parking, walking path, fitness area, covered picnic tables, playgrounds, futsal court, basketball, sand volleyball, and restrooms. The park is well maintained by the city and the community. For more low-key enjoyment, grab your favorite read from the newly renovated library across the street, pick a bench and enjoy the sunshine. Mornings are peaceful, the evenings and weekends can be crowded as the park has great lighting to enjoy amenities late into the evening.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to Yelp this little oasis. I literally walk here between 3 and 10 times a week. It's almost a perfect quarter mile walk from my house... And it offers doggy clean up bags. So it's the perfect place to walk to as a bathroom break on my dog walking trips. During the week it's used as a practice area for young-kid-aged sporting events. I've seen soccer and softball/baseball practices as well as quite a few birthday celebrations. It's just a good quiet place to have an undisturbed event of almost any type.
