Parks & Recreation - Open Space Advisory Group Meetings

Open Space Master Plan The mountains, the desert, the river…El Paso wouldn’t be the same without them. Yet as our city grows, the special places our families remember are disappearing one by one.
The El Paso Open Space Plan gives you the opportunity to say which natural areas around us are most important to you. Through the Plan process the City will work with the community to identify and preserve these special places for future generations to enjoy.

Open Space Advisory Group Meetings

The committee has identified a number of areas to preserve as open space. There are maps and tables available for your review. You may also view a PowerPoint presentation before the next meeting. On Wednesday, September 13, the advisory group will meet to finalize its recommendations to City Council about the preservation of open space in and around El Paso. The advisory group meeting is open to the public. It will be held at 3 p.m. in the 10th floor conference room at City Hall (northeast corner of the building). Free parking is available on the west side of City Hall.

NOTE: Please remember that the final decision will be made by City Council, after a public hearing. Until then, all information presented is only tentative.

These advisory group meetings will be open to the public. They will take the input received, develop a map of current and future open space areas, and will determine strategies for implementation. This map will be presented to City Council, along with suggestions on how to realize the goals.
