A new dog park is currently in the designing phase and expected to begin construction by the end of the year. UPDATE 04/29/09: I have spoken to City Representative Ann Morgan Lilly and she has said the project is NOT postponed indefinately. The project is being redisigned and is scheduled to be ready to begin in August 2009! More info as it becomes available. |

Please be aware that there is little to no shade or water stations at this park. The dogs must walk and run on loose gravel which can hurt their paws and cause joint injuries. Standing water has also been seen by the park which is a breeding ground for mosquitos that can spread Parvo and other diseases. Please contact Lucy at the El Paso Parks Department (915-541-4334) to voice your concerns.
Problems at Eastwood Dog Park: - All loose gravel (can get stuck between the dogs paws, gets hot in summer) - No water stations (Some summers in El Paso get past 100 degrees) - Standing water in some areas (breeding area for mosquitoes / can spread West Nile, Parvo, and other diseases.) - No shade - No separate area for small dogs. - No contact info posted on the park for complaints or suggestions. There are plans to build a new dog park in far west El Paso (High Ridge Park) but it is still in the designing phase. Please contact us if you would like to help before they make the same mistakes at the new High Ridge Dog Park. UPDATE: I spoke to Lucy at the El Paso Parks Department (915-541-4334) and she mentioned there has been no complaints about the park. She also said there is no room for other dog parks in central El Paso. Hard to believe that Memorial Park has no room. Even dog runs can be beneficial and take up no space. Please call Lucy directly at 915-541-4334 to voice your suggestions on this matter. |
