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.

Terrible course... Very poorly marked right from the start. Many of the holes no longer have…read morebaskets, no tee pads, and the park itself has little upkeep. Will not return. Can anyone recommend other courses in the El Paso area? EDITED: Changed from 1-star to 3-stars because we were able to play with some new friends who know the course. They explained the course is currently slowly being updated. The course clearly has potential. With the addition of tee pads, signage (especially this) and missing baskets, this will be a solid amateur course.

This course has some great potential. Once the city of El Paso makes the improvements that they…read morehave promised, people will flock to this course to play a round. I'd drive over for a tournament. At the moment it only has 15 poorly marked holes that do offer a good amount of technical difficulty and length. I felt lucky to meet a local so I could play all of the holes because otherwise you end up lost. If you want to play a round, I suggest you contact someone on the Face Book Club page and meet them. You will enjoy it allot more that way.

I wasn't sure about the class at first but after the first week, the lessons were excellent. The…read moreclass is taught as a group, but each player works on their own skills. This is exactly what kids need to know and learn today if they want to become a better soccer player. Right now, classes are once a week and won't interfere with other work kids may have for school. The class is only an hour long. The small sessions are great and taught by a great instructor with years of soccer experience. The location is right off of Donphan Dr and close to Sunland Park. I highly recommend this class for any soccer player who wants to get better.
