    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!!
