Liz Morayma Gonzalez Park

Recreational Facilities

This community park packs a surprising variety of activities into its space. The futsal court is a standout feature, perfect if you're looking to try this faster-paced cousin of soccer that's been gaining traction lately. Right nearby, the fenced-in soccer field draws plenty of local players - from casual kickarounders to more competitive types.

One of the more unique offerings here is the roller derby ring - not something you can find at just any neighborhood park! For fitness enthusiasts, there's an exercise court with a rubber surface that's much kinder on your joints than concrete, plus a dedicated calisthenics workout area where you can get your pull-up and dip routine going.

Playground and Amenities

Kids haven't been forgotten at Liz Morayma Gonzalez Park. The playground equipment is thoughtfully divided between areas for the little ones and more challenging structures for older children. The swings are typically a hit, as are the various climbing and play structures scattered throughout.

When it's time for a break, you'll appreciate the shaded picnic areas - especially during those scorching El Paso summer days. Benches are plentiful throughout the grounds, making it easy to relax while keeping an eye on playing children. The park also features a sidewalk that loops around the perimeter, creating a natural circuit for dog walking or getting in your daily steps.

Park Improvements

Over recent years, the City of El Paso has put some real thought into upgrading this community space. The blend of traditional playground equipment alongside more contemporary recreational options means there's something here for almost everyone, regardless of age or interests.

The addition of new sidewalks and pedestrian walkways has made getting around the park much more pleasant and accessible. These improvements have transformed what was once a basic green space on East Yandell Drive into a place where neighbors can connect and stay active.

Visitor Information

The park offers plenty of space to spread out, and doesn't leave you in the dark - good lighting illuminates the courts and other areas in the evening. One thing to note: while there are portable toilets available, you won't find permanent restrooms or drinking fountains here, so you might want to plan accordingly and bring water, especially on warmer days.
