Confirmed from Capistrano Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Family-friendly 4-field locale featuring baseball fields as well as slides, swings and swings.

Capi is pretty cool for playing baseball during the week or jogging/biking. If there isn't teams practicing or playing it's usually pretty quiet too, chill place. Idk when the restrooms are locked/unlocked.
Nice, quite, great gigantic moros trees . Lots lots and lots of shaded areas. Ready to go back. Excellent space to read a good book.. Thanks city of el Paso parks dept.
It has a nice path for running/walking, it's well lit and there is usually a police officer or border patrol so it feels pretty safe.
