Sunrise Park

Park Overview

Positioned in Northeast El Paso, Sunrise Park spans 8.1 acres of green space that offers a welcome break from city life. This neighborhood park sits among residential streets, providing a peaceful space for locals and visitors.

As you might guess from its name, the park really shines in those early morning hours when the sun casts a golden glow across the grounds. There's something calming about this well-kept space that draws people in.

Trails and Pathways

Throughout the park you'll find walking and running trails suitable for getting your steps in or enjoying a leisurely stroll.

The half-mile perimeter loop includes flat stretches, gentle hills, and enough variation to keep things interesting. If you're looking to level up your workout, you'll appreciate the exercise equipment stationed along the path, letting you mix cardio and strength training in one visit.

Recreational Facilities

Kids can enjoy the shaded playground area with swings, slides, and climbing structures, while parents relax in the shade.

The recently updated basketball and tennis courts are in great condition, ideal for shooting hoops or playing a set or two. Interestingly, Sunrise has also become something of a hotspot for pickleball enthusiasts in El Paso - so bring your paddle if that's your thing!

Open Spaces

The park features open grassy areas that work well for throwing a frisbee, having a picnic, or relaxing with a good book.

One thing you'll notice and appreciate, especially during Texas summers, are the numerous shade trees dotting the landscape. These leafy canopies create natural cooling stations and make family outings much more comfortable, even when the temperature climbs.

Dog-Friendly Features

Four-legged family members are more than welcome at this dog-friendly park. The open areas provide plenty of space for your pup to stretch their legs and burn off some energy.

You'll discover doggie bag stations conveniently placed within the grounds - a thoughtful touch that helps keep the park clean and encourages everyone to be responsible pet owners.

Additional Amenities

Restroom facilities are available on-site, but you might encounter temporary portable options during maintenance periods.

Planning a bigger gathering? The park's party hall can be reserved through El Paso Parks and Recreation for special events. For more casual get-togethers, you'll come across covered picnic areas and benches scattered around, offering perfect spots to take a break or share a meal.

Additional Information

The park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 11PM, with evening lighting that keeps the space usable and safe until closing time.

Sunrise Park's location within a quiet residential area gives it a tranquil atmosphere - a nice spot when you need a moment of calm.
