After 4 long years the El Paso Sportspark is finally open in Far East El Paso. What was a staple on the east side has been closed for many years. This city started improvements in 2012 however there were problems with the original contractor that led to the long delay. That delay cost the millions of dollars. In 2015, the city hired another contractor Jordan Foster and the improvements were finally completed.
This opening was a “soft opening”, concession and other parts of the park were open. However, the pro shop and restaurant have yet to open. Those at the opening felt that it was long overdue and the improvements were what the park needed.
Going forward the county is looking to bring in large scale tournaments that will bring in thousands of dollars of revenue into the city. In the past the SportsPark was able to attract many teams and tournaments and with the improvements they have made they hope to return to the glory of the past.
