My parents would bring us kids here when there was Western Playland or to have a picnic. At that time the lake looked big..now in my adult eyes, it looks small. I came to take a little walk here and see the Christmas decorations even it if was daytime..Several people that were fishing..in the summer..alot of families come here to have a picnic..was able to see the water fowl and sense the serenity of a place I have been visiting my whole life
This is a nice little lake that is literally right on the border. There are a lot of local people who hang out in the park so it can be pretty busy at times. It is a good place to get together with friends for a cookout or picnic.
Despite water being pumped into the lake constantly, it is impossible to even float a small raft because of the plants and forget a trolling motor!
Stopped here during the week to get some exercise. It wasn't too busy but there were a lot of people around the lake fishing. A lot of people also bring their bikes. The golf courses are next door and looked okay. Can't say how good the golf is or this fishing but I did see people on the course. I'm guess it is a mile and a quarter around the lake on the path based on my fitbit. Great place to go for an nice walk. Mountains in the background and you can see the fence separating Mexico from the USA. Felt safe and it was enjoyable. Wouldn't pay the $2 fee to park for the weekend though to walk.
Unfortunately this park is a bit run down. Flat, no landscaping of any kind, little provided shade shelter.
I have lived in el paso for 10yrs originally from Ky, and I have never caught anything or even gotten a bit no matter which bait I use or which rigging I use. all I have ever caught from there is weeds. there are picnic places but they are usually dirty or might even have wasp in the roof if has one. has restrooms but do not function and have porta potties but stink and usually no tp. have playgrounds but not upkeep very well.
