Very beautiful garden. I now know the names of plants I have seen locally. The salt cypress maze added a bit of fun. Local history posted which added to the experience.

What a lovely and peaceful oasis in our concrete jungle!! I dont know how many times I drove by here wanting to stop, but never seemed to have the time. Today I my friend says, I want to show you something. And we wound up here! What a fantastic surprise! Driving by, you never expect the treasure hidden behind the stone wall. So peaceful and charming. A little slice of heaven. I dont want to tell what is here because it will ruin the surprise. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. And you get a small history lesson from the local area as you walk through the garden. There is a $2 admission for adults and $1 for seniors and kids. They also take donations. Highly recommended if you have a few hours to relax.

Beautiful and Fun!! Our youngest Daughter got engaged here on our Vacation this wk!! Wonderful Experience and Beautiful Scenery to make Great Pictures!!

An oasis in the desert. What an amazing hidden gem. I plan on getting married here. I also do Sunday Yoga class here which is how I originally heard of the place.

Little piece of paradise. Would highly recommend going. Such a peaceful and beautiful walk through the gardens.

More a beautiful place for a wedding, or quiet walk than a real botanical garden.birdwatching. not a ton of labels. My kids loved the maze . The koi pond was very charming. Across the parking lot is a place you can buy rescued native plants. They go on sale at the end of the summer. Great area for birwatching.

Gorgeous oasis in El Paso. I stopped by here on a partly cloudy day after getting coffee nearby. The gardens gates are left open during business hours with a honesty box at the front door. Its $2 cash per person, unless youre qualify as Military, Senior Citizen, or young child. The gardens are relatively small but very beautiful. They have a charming central fountain, a variety of cacti, some of which flower, regional medicinal plants, and surprisingly a water lily pond with live Koi fish. They also have a gazebo and grill you can use. I definitely recommend checking this place out if youre nearby.

Absolutely love this peaceful, beautiful place. My kids really enjoyed it too.

The El Paso Desert Botanical Garden is a nice place to visit in the spring and early summer, as in the winter there is not much to see as far as the vegetation. The information provided in the park is interesting, independent of the season, making it a worthwhile visit any time during the year. The signs providing information are very informative with interesting details about the history of El Paso and the influence of the Spanish family Lira. It also tells about the influence of the Magoffin family. A nice and quiet place to take people out of State to learn about El Paso.

I had my wedding ceremony at 4pm on 11-30-2019 at Keystone Heritage Park and it was a beautiful location with very friendly staff. I worked directly with Benita and she was very helpful. She provided us with a list of vendors that really helped cut down on the search for quality companies to work with for other aspects of the wedding, such as linens. The garden staff provided us with 100 chairs for the ceremony (which surprisingly was not enough!) and we provided chair covers and bows. We added minimal decorations and at the last minute the garden staff was able to provide us with outdoor heaters, as long as we provided the propane. It was a cold day but the heaters helped and the place was beautiful for the ceremony and pictures. We took pictures by the fountain and the ceremony was to the right in a grassy area with 4 yuccas. There was a covered area we selected as plan b that we luckily did not have to use. I am so glad our guests, who had never been to the gardens, had the opportunity to witness the beauty here. Weather is unpredictable but we had a huge crowd and beautiful location. I highly recommend Keystone Heritage Park!

Small, desert botanical garden that is maintained completely by volunteers and donations. It is an easy stroll around the gravel and paved pathways, with lots of opportunities to sit and enjoy the fountains and the ample sculpture and artwork. Plus, bathrooms were some of the best Ive seen in a public place. It looks small from the outside, but there are walking trails out of the property towards the archaeological digs, and the wetlands area. If you are in El Paso this is definitely worth the visit!

Its a nice place to just hang out. It would be a good place to host an event. I saw a grill a stage and a quick little maze that was short but still worth a visit with your family.

Beautiful gardens, peaceful. Perfect place to take a stroll and learn about the history and ecology of the region. All volunteer led too!

A beautiful hidden gem of El Paso. The Botanical garden and wetlands preserve the natural beauty and landscape of this area.

Great place. Lots of native plants. Great scenery. Awesome place for pictures.

Nice place to visit, with so much time one your hands,to relax and enjoy nature.

Fun educational tour. The boys loved it and had a great time in the mini maze. A great place to use as a venue for upcoming events.

Well maintained pathways, beautiful scenery and views of wildlifeHidden westside treasure.

Beautiful botanical garden, it represents the plants of the southwest so well. My daughter loved running through the labyrinth and playing in the sand pit. Highly recommend!

Really nice place! First time visiting, and was very surprised! You wouldnt think this place was right there passing by !

Its a hidden gem. Its beautiful and quiet, and there is a sand pit with toys for the kids. Would be a great place to get pictures taken.

Its just pure nature.

This is a nice place $2 donation for adults and $1 for kids. Donation box near the entrance. The bathrooms are located in the back to the right of the fountain. Great place for a wedding or event.

A nice place to walk and see various plants. Very child friendly. The maze was fun, even for adults. I hope they will identify more plants in the future.

Very peaceful.

Beautiful for birding. Wonderful venue at the gardens. Great place to plant shop!

This park is very lovely. The water features are beautiful and theres a lot of places to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery. I decided to come her for my birthday. I had a lovely picnic in a secluded alcove near a water feature. The natural wetlands were truly amazing. It felt like I was transported to a totally different city. I saw bird species Id never seen before in real life. I highly recommend visiting if you like learning about local flora and fauna. There were great features for the kids too! An enjoyable maze, and a sand pit for them to get absolutely filthy in

Nice little place to stop by and walk around. Little maze was lots fun.

BEAUTIFUL plants and pond with coi.

Dont waste your time going here unless its spring or summer time. There was nothing growing there and pretty much nothing to look at. Waste of time as far as Im concerned.

Needs more identification markers. Otherwise very good.

A lovely walk around this botanical garden is a perfect way to spend a few hours. This land is managed by High Desert Native Plants Nursery which is right across the lot and worth checking out for ones native plant needs. The volunteers here are working hard to get this place fully running and even more beautiful then it already is. A decent number of plants and cacti are labeled as more are coming with the communities support. The wetlands to the north also runs through this area. An easy walk with art, history, plants, an beauty are a must check out in this part of town. An open air theatre is here as well as a maze for kids and adults. A large sand box for kids to play and many benches can be used along the trail. Washroom and water fountain can be found here as well. Local artists display there work in the walls and around the garden. Perfect spot to learn about the area and the history of the future.

WARNING: do not go in the childrens maze. My family and I was attacked by a swarm of wasps immediately upon entering. We did nothing to disturb the surroundings and were simply walking into the maze. I was stung about 10 times.There is a wasp infestation in the childrens maze. Until it is removed do not go in there.This happened today, 9-7-19

Excellent for birding.

I always love to go here, especially during sunset. You get such a lovely view from that deck in the very back. I highly recommend this place.

Its always beautiful! The times shown online arent true. On great weather days they will stay open until sunset.

It was simply the perfect venue for our small wedding ceremony and pictures. The garden staff are wonderful people and easy to work with.

My brother recently got engaged here. A beautiful place.

This is a beautiful place to visit. Awesome plants and serene place to rest and appreciate nature. This place can be rented for events.

A unique area of desert plants and wetland setting.

Nice place to see native plants and birds. Nice when there is water in the ponds.

Tiny and very hot. We drove in from NM expecting an actual botanical garden. This is more like a small public park, there wasnt alot going on plant/flowers wise. There was a nice water feature and lots of sitting spaces.

So peaceful and beautiful!

It wasnt what I expected and it was to hot

Clean and very quiet.

Beautiful! I didnt know it even existed.

Cool place for shorebirds and ducks, as well as quail

Beautiful location and the setting was peaceful! Didnt get to see all of it but what I saw I loved

Nice desert plant gardens. Interesting walk.

Small space, but perfect for a walk and picnic. Grounds are all maintained by volunteers and quite beautiful. Definitely worth a visit.

Very quaint and tranquil place for a brisk walk. The events held here are quite enjoyable!

We went for the Christmas luminaries. The garden was absolutely beautiful. We had a great time and everyone there was talking and laughing. It was a great time had by all.

Beautiful place. Oasis. Great for birding.

Beautiful gardens and well kept plants. Be careful during wasp season.

This is a cool place to go but its almost never open whenever I try to go. They need to update their hours on their website a little more consistently.

A really nicely laid out small park that has so many representative plants native to the area. It somehow was reminiscent of the El Paso Zoo, of which I am very fond.

The botanical gardens were neat and very well kept. We were there too early in the season to catch much in bloom, or to see hummingbirds or butterflies.

This is a very beautiful and well kept garden and park. Very clean and relaxing, nice place to reading quietly and take in the beautiful surrounding. Watch the many different types of birds that call this place of.

This place is beautiful. I highly recommend it!

Nice

Nothing to talk about. Want to see the real thing. Go to the mountains

Nice place to have a little walk by desert plants

We maintained peaceful sanctuary. I love the huge sandbox with plenty of sand toys and great maze for children. Its well designed and very affordable. Dont forget to purchase a plant to help support this great venu.

A lil run down but i may have gone in the slow season. Lots of pretty plants and a really fun corner for the kids!

Great place to hang on your day off... The plants, layout, and jogging trail definitely make this a spot great for day-dates, meditation, yoga, or just to take in and expire the local vegetation... Ill definitely be heading back, soon...

Nice little area. There are a few trails clearly marked, but also places to go off the beaten path.

I love to bring my kids here to explore the gardens and play in the sand area.

The park is beautiful and informational! The people in the visitors center were knowledgeable, helpful, and charismatic. I will definitely come back here next time Im in El Paso :)

Small, beautifully landscaped, nice kids area with a maze, inexpensive ( donation $2, $1 Seniors and Military, kids?). Wetlands (same additional donation) also accessable from the parking lot.

Very nice setup for the garden. They have quite a few water features, a kids area, and some very nice plant specimens. We spent about an hour and a half with my wife a daughter. They had a great time. Thanks.

Gorgeous. Lots of morning activity. If you haven’t been, go!

I enjoyed the gardens though each plant should have signage to tell them apart.

Loved this place! An oasis in the desert. Nice Koi pond, mosaics, five water features, lots of xeric plants and landscaping, a maze for kids, butterfly garden, and much more. I would love it if the park would consider labeling the plants. Not only serene to walk the paths, but gives great landscaping ideas. Just need to know the plants!

Very nice place for photos & education - fountains are beautiful!

Absolutely gorgeous! A perfect place to take a nature walk with the kids.

Unique beautiful 52 acre park with walking paths, desert botanical garden, art, historic signage about the Camino real, 4,500 archeological site. Major fly way site and wetlands for over 250 variety of birds. Currently there are over 500 various types of Inland Seagulls living at Keystone Wetlands during the winter, and other types of duck and fowl.

Quiet area of town. Bird santury.

Its pretty nice but not as big as I thought.

Surprisingly beautiful! So much to look at & extremely unexpected in this city

Lovely place, a nice little historic place right here in oir hometown. The park has a wide variety of native plants and trees and it also has a little archeological site

A peaceful, quiet place. A great place for a little mental R&R.

Nice please to relax

Great support for Events in the ampitheater. Beautiful to hang out and enjoy!

I learned a lot. I still wasnt able to figure out where in there exactly was the location of the uncovered archeological site of the little village that was uncovered in the 1970s. It dates back 4,000 yrs. I wanted to see some remains I guess.

Delightful garden, full of landscaping ideas

A hidden gem where you can escape from the city life and travel to a nature environment. The desertscape of the garden is amazing and seems to be a great place for weddings or catered parties.The wetlands are an oasis for hundreds of birds enjoying the waters of the lagoon. This is a visit to a nature place that you will not forget.

Very beautiful place to relax, my wife and I enjoy coming here once a month

Beautiful place for an afternoon of walking and sightseeing.

Great little garden. Place for kids to play too.

The botanical garden is nice but very small and the Heritage Park looks like nothing more than a small plant store. The wetlands hold some shorebirds and ducks but the trail is quite barren.

Fun and relaxing. Had play area for kids.

I have been wanting to go to this place for years! Couldnt remember the name though. Definitively going soon

Everybody needs to go there it is just an absolutely beautiful area to relax in.

Its a very clean place great for relaxing :)

Well looked after

Just tried to visit and it was closed. The signs at the place say its open Tuesday-Sunday till 2 and the website says Saturday and Sunday till 3. Obviously they dont have things together and now I just wasted an hour trip :/

Clean and fun, Nature at heart.

Beautiful!

Nice place
