Ascarate Park opens reservations for Easter Weekend picnic shelter rentals

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA)-- Ascarate Park is now taking reservations for picnic shelter rentals for the upcoming Easter weekend.

With Easter falling on Sunday, March 31st, celebrations are anticipated for both Saturday and Sunday, making advance bookings a smart move.

While picnic shelters remain free on a first-come, first-served basis, reserving a spot lets families bypass the early morning rush and secure their preferred location.

Available shelters throughout the park range from $50 to $200 for the entire day.

Reservations can be made in person at the Parks and Recreation Administration Office inside Ascarate Park, located at 6900 Delta.

Office hours to do so are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The reservation cutoff is Wednesday, March 27th, since county offices will be closed on Good Friday, March 29th.

On March 30th and 31st, parking at Ascarate Park is set at $5, payable in cash only.

Furthermore, alcohol is not permitted on park grounds.

Park visitors can view and plan by using the online map at www.epcountyparks.com/parks, where the “Park Amenity Map” is listed. For further details or to make a reservation, interested parties are encouraged to contact (915) 771-2380.
