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.

The previous review is incorrect. Eastwood is a very large "people park" where dogs must remain on…read morea leash, but there is a decent sized dog park located inside Eastwood Park that is completely fenced in where it is requested that no dogs be leashed. The dog park is right next to the basketball courts (to the left). This is an okay dog park with a obstacle course for dogs (last time I was there the pole for jumping was missing though). The dog park only has a few trees and the landscaping is only rocks. There isn't any seating for people though unless you sit on the ramp. If you're used to the dog park on the Westside you won't be impressed by this one; but if you're from a section of town where there isn't a dog park nearby, anything is better than nothing. Some owners bring dogs who aren't exactly friendly, but they're always quick to leave...don't feel bad, if your dog is not friendly you shouldn't be bringing it to a dog park. The park stays pretty clean most days. Just don't forget to bring water and a dish for your dog.

From open gym basketball, volleyball and pickle ball, to sports like swim, basketball, ballet, t-ball, and soccer. Not to mention a gym and various fitness classes offered, there is truly something for the entire family of all ages here! The staff is pretty friendly and does a good job managing the traction and influx of neighbors that come in and out. My kiddos have personally enjoyed playing basketball and taking swim classes here. The sign up for swim is so competitive and grueling, but it is what it is! I'm considering signing up myself! I personally appreciate the cleanliness of the facility too. Grateful for this gem!
