My sister later told me, she thought it wasn't somewhere you should be in the evening- I guess the location is questionable. However, during the day I felt safe. There was a big field (I think there was a ditch on one side-maybe a safety concern), a playground, basketball courts and swings.

Wheelchair accessible. Klein is directly across the street from the best local coffeehouse, Becks. Next door to Becks is the historic building housing La Nueva Casita cafe.

We loved the exhibition hall where all all of the exhibits were hands on including a sand table where kids can make impressions from cast animal prints and the touch table where rangers had set our objects found on the trail for kids to hold and handle (today was mesquite pods, a rodent skeleton, cactus fruits, feathers, a birds nest, and shells). There were also scavenger hunt pages specific to the park to make the hikes fun for kids. The upland trail was the perfect post meal walk for our family (4 year old and 7 year old), if we'd come in the cool of the morning or evening we might have gone for both loops. Even if you're not up for a hike the garden and bird blind behind the visitors center are worth the trip. There are a beautiful variety of plants from the park with labels and rangers put out water to attract animals to the garden. In just a few minutes we saw cottontail rabbits, two kinds of lizards, a family of quail, and many many birds - some of which a friendly ranger helped us identify.

Unfortunately the Rio Grande was not running so there were no views of the wet lands in mid October when I went and there were mosquitoes if you stopped walking. Go in the spring or when the river is running for the best experience.

Can we have one of these in El Paso?!? Please!!!…read more I'm always telling people that I want to swim in the Rio Grande and then I stumbled upon this park and saw my dream come to fruition. Families swimming and couples kayaking in the Rio Grande! Best. Day. Ever. This park is pretty neat too. There's a small playground that seems well maintained and a trail that goes for miles following the Rio Grande. There are also fire pits placed strategically throughout this park on the river bank. And grass...grasssssssss galore! And frogs! The only reason I'm docking a store is because of the storm of mosquitoes. I grew up near water, but I've never walked into a cloud of mosquitoes. Bug spray is a necessity.

Not sure of exact address so again it is right off Loham behind Target. First off, be super careful if you have a low profile vehicle. From the Loham side you drive up a concrete driveway then on top it turns into dirt and the transition is a little rough if you are not expecting it. DRIVE slow at the top. On the Loham side you have to choice walk the bottom which seems a little easy as it is a true asphalt path. The bottom has some cottonwood trees to walk under. But that is not always safe. The bottom also leads to the Veterans Park Memorial about 1 and half in.On the top of the dam it is all gravel. You can't walk from the top to the bottom! There was no trails. There is no shade so wear sunscreen. I would recommend going at sunrise, sunset or on a breezy day. We walked to the halfway point marked by a rock pile. Halfway is 1.6 miles. Total walk for us 3.2 miles There is some pretty views of the mountains but it does get monotonous. We did see some birds with a yellow chest, a some blueish birds, and some cool spotted lizards.

The views in all directions capture New Mexico's beauty. People go and get some rest in the area or take a little hike down the trail. It would be nice to have a few more trash bins in the area because people do leave trash around on occasions. I found this place many years ago and now people are really starting to gather in crowds for meetups.
