Ground jets shoot up right in the middle of downtown El Paso's historic central plaza, so kids can splash while parents grab coffee or lunch from nearby cafes. It is one of only two facilities the city labels a true splash pad rather than a spray park.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, drinking water, parking at this location.
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.
