Located in El Paso's second ward, Armijo Park (officially Marcus B. Armijo Park) is a breath of fresh air for both locals and visitors. This community green space offers plenty of room to stretch out, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors in the heart of the city.

Splash and Swim

Let's talk water fun - Armijo Park features an award-winning aquatic facility that stands out. Swimming enthusiasts can dive into a seven-lane competitive size pool well-suited for getting those laps in. Meanwhile, families with kids can enjoy the recreational theme park pool with its playful water features that keep the little ones entertained.

Brain and Body

What makes this park extra special is the library branch right next door. You can exercise your body and mind in one visit. Grab a book and find a sunny spot in the park, or cool off inside with some reading after working up a sweat outdoors.
