Ponder Park

Perfect toddler play area. Infant swing + toddler/big kid swing. Climbing, slides, ramp, and jungle area. Next to baseball fields. Picnic tables where the adults sit are completely shaded. Safe area.

Quite little park. Usually come here when I'm getting my hair done across the street. It has a baseball field and flag football is a Saturday thing here. It doesn't have a track to run but if you don't mind getting your shoes grassy it's decent. A better park to cross train is Cielo Vista Park. Usually opt for parks verses gyms since I'm always on the go.

We use the park so I have no insight on the other facilities here, but the park just got a face life and it's wonderful, we can spend hours here! Most of the day it's shaded with a big blue canopy. The restrooms aren't but 500 feet away in a blue building

Great playground! Love the forest theme and that it's covered. Decent residential surrounding area.

At least once a week, my boyfriend and I try to meet up for lunch. Most of the time we pick a restaurant, but there was one week where we were feeling a little adventurous and decided to bring our lunches to a park. The big issue with most city parks here is the lack of shade so I need to cut to this quick letter I may need to send to El Paso Parks & Rec Department...Dear El Paso Parks & Rec Department, I appreciate that El Paso has quite a few city parks... some that have been around for years with trees as tall as buildings, but in recent years it feels as though you all have decided what the bare minimum is to be considered a park. Some sort of activity area (i.e. playground or baseball field), good amounts of grass, sparse amount of trees, and a few benches. I want you to know, El Paso would not be upset if you built a park that didn't have an "activity area" because there are such things as parks for walking, running, and biking... which can also be very enjoyable for children. I would love to see a park with trees galore with a large trail that flows through the interior with benches, tables, and chairs for people to stop and enjoy their time. It's doable. Also, just a heads up for other parks... try to keep playgrounds covered. Those things heat up!Sincerely,FrecklesThis park is alright. It's in extremely close proximity to the always busy Viscount. I kind of wish they had a fence surrounding the park. There was a lot of grass and a few large trees. I didn't notice if there was a playground, but there is a baseball field. From where we were sitting the park seemed quite large so there definitely could be more going on.We settled at a metal table under a structure that provided shade. This benched area didn't seem to be well maintained though and the trashcan was entirely too close to it. I understand why they did that, but I still don't think it was a good idea.I wouldn't recommend this park for someone looking to eat at unless you're bringing a blanket to sit under a tree, but it is a good park for running around or throwing a ball which I did see happening while there. I think this could be a really nice park because it has so much space, it just needs a little TLC.
