Trails and Trailheads
The City of El Paso and Recreation Department has more than 220 parks located throughout the city. Most of these parks have a paved pathway within the park which can be used for walking, jogging, rollerblading and bicycling.
The trails listed below are linear and do not loop within a park (with the exception of Three Hills Trail).
Practice proper trail user etiquette:
Bicyclists/rollerbladers YIELD to joggers and walkers.
Leash and pick up after your pet for the health and safety of our community.
