The park is shaded which is great Bc it is a metal: Plastic park and in the sun it could cause some serious burns. The swings are not covered so we stayed away for fear of a burn. There is a splash pad with a few different things to play with and a nice walking path throughout the park. There is a fenced in baseball field and one that has no fence. A basket ball court with hops no nets. 3-4 covered pavilions no bbq grills on site. Overall very nice clean park with a very friendly vibe

The puppy aka Chico also enjoys going for a walk here. Paul Harvey Park is a smaller sized park nestled in a residential area. A lot of westside parks are in residential areas which is great! There's a walking trail with lots of green grass and trees around. There's also park benches and a pool nearby. I'm not sure if it's still open or not. I don't think I've really seen people using it in all of the years I've come by. This park always looks clean and well maintained. We've seen the maintenance guys cutting the grass and watering it pretty often. There's also a shelter that's used for gatherings. The kiddos also have a small jungle gym there. Overall a nice place and it's also Chico approved!

I totally forgot about the 4th of July parade that goes down Sunland and turns on Mesa!!!! I was stuck! I drove around for an hour trying to find a detour that would bring me up by Whole Foods. In the process, I found a neighborhood swimming pool that was listed on Yelp (Bel Mar Neighborhood Pool), and three parks that were not yet listed on Yelp: Paul Harvey Park, H. T. Ponsford Park and James Schwitters Family Park, all within minutes of each other. Who ever says we do not have grass and trees in El Paso needs to come check out the City of El Paso's great recreational parks and areas. So, yes, I finally did make it to La Madeleine's- I had to take I -10 W and get off at Resslear to get around the parade and found myself by a giant American flag hanging from a crane!!!! Awesome- Happy Birthday America!

There are several play areas for the kiddos to run around on, as well as a large field if you want to bring a ball to kick or throw around. Also, if you would like to take a walk, there is a really nice bike/walking path that extends all the way around the park. We brought our son's bike with us, and we walked and he rode around the park a few times. A cool thing about this park that you won't find many other places in the area is a duck pond. It is a small pond, but it is really nice. There are ducks, and you can feed them if your bring your own bread or the like.. there is a really cool "dock" (I'm drawing a blank on what else to call it) that extends out into the pond. I think that my family and I will be spending a lot of time at this park this year. There are indoor restrooms on the property, and there are also canopies all over the place to provide shade during the hotter months. Next time we go, we are gonna pack a lunch, eat at one of the many shaded picnic tables, and make an afternoon out of hanging out at the park!!

I absolutely love this park. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. I've been here early mornings…read moreto evenings and it's a great place to be. It's one of the most green parks I've seen actually. Lol. They have walk paths for joggers, walkers, and to walk your furry friend. :) Which btw, they've marked certain areas of the pavement showing mile marks. Awesome! The park consists of spacious grassy areas and trash bins across the place. It's well maintained and they provide doggy bags too. People park either on the curb or near the library, which is located on the end of the park. The only down side is that it's barely lit at night and the only restroom is one Porta potty. The most lit part of the park is the children's playground, which is great but I wish there was more lighting. Besides the wonderful green pastures and playground, there's a volleyball and basketball court. They have a few benches and many trees, so there is shade. But I prefer to bring a mat and enjoy the scenery. :) there's always people of all ages here and there's always a soccer or football game.

Soccer area (rubber small field with two goals), open field (for anything you want to do- including kite flying, running, sports), paved trail for little ones to ride bikes (just short of a half a mile), basketball court, two play areas (one for really little guys and one for bigger kids), dog bags- this park has it all except for bathrooms- however there was a public library on the corner that was open and the restrooms were on the right as soon as you entered the doors! Don't let the sketchy neighborhood fool you- this park is awesome- not a lot of shade though- bring your sunscreen!

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.

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!

Even though it's not very large, it has at least five distinctly different areas within it, that will each feel like home depending on who you are and why you came to the park. You could come here to walk, to sit, to read, to play, to have a date. It also has more shade than most parks of its size, as well as multiple benches and tables. Downside: no restrooms or portables, and no public restrooms or businesses within a short distance. Charm and design - that's why you should visit Madeline Park.
