EL PASO, Texas (KTSM<\/a>) — The City of El Paso Parks and Recreation Department is reminding residents of upcoming seasonal closures and schedule changes that will be taking effect in the near future.<\/p>\n

From cooling off at a spray park to enjoying a Sunday drive along Scenic Drive or stopping to smell the roses, residents are encouraged to take advantage of these amenities while they remain open and plan ahead for upcoming seasonal changes, the City of El Paso said.<\/p>\n

“We encourage our community to enjoy these outdoor amenities while they remain open and to plan ahead for the seasonal changes,” said Parks and Recreation Director Pablo Caballero. “Our Parks and Recreational facilities give residents and families opportunities to stay active, enjoy the outdoors and connect with our community throughout the year.”<\/p>\n

Spray Parks and Pavo Real Aquatic Center<\/p>\n

All City spray parks and the Pavo Real Aquatic Center will close for the season on Sunday, Sept. 13. The Pavo Real Aquatic Center, the City’s only outdoor pool, has closed for the fall and winter season. Residents can continue to enjoy the City’s indoor pools, which remain open for public use.<\/p>\n

The Parks and Recreation Department operates 14 aquatic centers throughout El Paso, including indoor and outdoor facilities.<\/p>\n

Scenic Sundays Return to Fall Hours<\/p>\n

Starting in October, Scenic Sundays on Scenic Drive will transition to its fall operational schedule, which will remain in effect through March. During this period, Scenic Drive between Wheeling and Robinson will close to vehicle traffic form 7 a.m. to noon. Whether residents are walking, biking or simply enjoying the views, the seasonal schedule provides an opportunity to experience one of El Paso’s most scenic destinations.<\/p>\n

El Paso Municipal Rose Garden<\/p>\n

The El Paso Municipal Rose Garden will close for the season on Monday, Nov. 30.<\/p>\n

The seasonal closure allows Parks and Recreation staff to complete necessary maintenance and prepare the garden for the next season. Until then, the 4-acre garden is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is free to the public. The garden features more than 1,400 rose bushes representing more than 430 varieties.<\/p>\n

Residents are encouraged to plan their visits accordingly and make the most of the City’s parks, recreation facilities and outdoor amenities while they remain open. For more information about the City of El Paso Parks and Recreation Department, visit ElPasoTexas.gov\/parks<\/a>.<\/p>\n
