About the Location

Indoor Recreation Center

The indoor recreation center at Veterans Park is a hub of activity with some great options for getting your fitness fix. The center houses basketball and volleyball courts where you can shoot some hoops or bump, set, and spike to your heart's content.

If you're looking to channel your inner Rocky Balboa, there's a boxing gym where you can work on your jabs and hooks. Need to cool off? Take a dip in the indoor swimming pool - it's available for just a small fee, so you can enjoy a swim no matter what the Texas weather decides to do outside.

Outdoor Amenities

Step outside and you'll come across plenty of open spaces great for spreading out a blanket, tossing a frisbee, or just soaking up some sunshine. The little ones will love the playground areas with swings and jungle gyms - and parents will appreciate that many play structures are covered, providing much-needed shade from that intense El Paso sun.

Sports enthusiasts can enjoy the baseball and soccer fields, while skaters can show off their skills at the skate park. Just remember to bring your sunscreen for the skate park since it doesn't have shade covering.

Walking Paths and Exercise Areas

Lacing up for a morning jog? The walking paths at Veterans Park make for a wonderful route, whether you're training for a marathon or just taking Fido for his daily constitutional. These trails are a hit with locals who make the park part of their regular fitness routine.

Not far from the playground, you'll discover an outdoor exercise area equipped with fitness stations. The best part? This workout zone is covered, so you can get your sweat on without getting scorched by the sun.

Picnic and Gathering Spaces

There are many picnic areas scattered around the park for when you get hungry. Planning a family cookout? Some tables come with built-in grills ready for your burgers and hot dogs, however you might want to arrive early to snag a spot with shade.

Thanks to plenty of parking and the cooling shade from mature trees, Veterans Park stays relatively comfortable even during those hot Texas afternoons. The expansive green spaces mean there's room for everyone, even on busy weekends.

Community Hub

Veterans Park truly represents the neighborhood's backyard, bringing together people of all ages and interests. With facilities that work year-round, neither rain nor shine can put a damper on the fun.

Dog owners, you're in luck - the park is dog-friendly, but do keep your four-legged friends leashed. Veterans Park is one of Northeast El Paso's largest recreational spaces, offering a variety of amenities in a convenient location.
