Pavo Real is the metro's quirkiest stop: an enhanced facility with two separate spray areas, one for people and one dedicated splash pad just for dogs. It anchors the Lower Valley's Pavo Real Park, which also hosts the city's outdoor aquatic facility nearby.
When to go. Peak summer highs in El Paso average 96°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
How long it's open. Roughly 16 weeks a year, from May to September. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
