Nice park with plenty of free parking. Very good story of friendship and compromise. Interesting to watch people drive over the bridge from Mexico. Super bummed the visitor center was closed and we could not do the junior ranger program or get a passport stamp. Not sure well ever make it back to the surprisingly beautiful city of El Paso.

Park is great for a walk and outing for the kids to run around. Great walking trails.

Its ok... But you feel like the Border Patrol is just trying to hunt you down... Its a Public Park not International Bridge...

A place where a bit of history may have been forgotten to most outside of the New Mexico, West Texas region.The reasons for 4 stars was the reconstruction of the museum and the small size of the shop. The volunteer was very knowledgeable and informative.Although there were newspaper articles and small bits about the history, I cannot recall ever hearing about it in any of my history classes. It’s actually the 4th part of finalizing the US/MX border. The first the original border (I believe the Guadeloupe Hidalgo Treaty; second a correction by MX & US surveyors because of a ‘mapping error’; third the Gadsden Purchase and finally the Chamizal Convention.The location is interesting because of it being within site of the Bridge of the Americas. Amazing the amount of traffic.Plenty of parking under normal operating hours. There is some construction in the area, but by putting the exact address into Google Maps, we had no issue making it to the Memorial.I would really recommend visiting the little known memorial.

Seems like a neat place, but everything is closed because of COVID protocols.

Spent approx 90 minutes here, just strolling the grounds, and soaking up the history. Learned a ton. What a SERENE place this is

Nice park to walk around, but the visitor center is closed.

Small, but perfect to go take a walk during any time of the day, specially during the open hours of the museum.

Loved it! Beautiful park, and wonderful memories!

Not a whole lot to see because it is closed, but the park grounds were clean and well kept!

Looks like a great place for picnics, barbecue and taking the pups, but.... the museum part is currently under construction so they don’t have a lot to offer for historical buffs. I definitely plan to visit again when it is fully operational.

Lovely little historical building on my El Paso trip. Youll spend maybe 20 to 30 minutes inside the center, learning about the history of the US/Mexico border, which you can then cite during your political arguments at Thanksgiving. Would recommend to anybody passing through!

Serene park right on the border. The rangers were very helpful. Amazing history and culture of the border controversy could be learned here.

This place is right next to the border and has a neat walking tour. It has a cool museum and movie as well. It’s easy to find in town, has lots of parking, and nice rangers.

The park ranger was awesome! The park was nice and quiet. It was nice to see the history behind the border issues.

US Park Ranger, very friendly. Respectful.

Great park. Beautiful grounds! The ranger was friendly and helpful. There was a concert taking place so we hard to park far away.

Would have been better if they werent under construction. Couldnt go through to see all the exhibits. Grounds were very nice.

Park store/visitors center is close, although the park is open. 7/28/2020

Super nice and warm people run this place. The attendant there had so many stories to tell. Great educational place to take your kids.

A very interesting site within sight of the U.S./Mexico border that explains a thorny issue (if the border is defined by the river, and the river moves, where exactly is the border?) and commemorates its diplomatic solution a century in the making, our family had a great visit here. The park and mural outside are striking, but don’t miss the visitor center. Inside, there are extensive exhibits going over the history of the Chamizal Settlement, from Presidents Lincoln & Juarez to Johnson & Lopez, as well as striking artwork inspired by the history of the region.

Rangers were not very helpful, but signs with lots of good info

Nice place for a walk

I work their and I work at the Vistor Center.It has a huge park with different trails to walk on. Dogs are allowed but only the park grounds. The atmosphere is wonderful with exhibits to see and a 4 minute video that explains the history and the background of how it came about regarding the Rio Grand.

Very clean and quiet

Great place to bring the family for a picnic. Its clean with plenty of restrooms.

Spacious. Many trees that provide great shade. Great parking. Beautiful scenery.

The Chopin music festival was awesome, I wish I could have stayed longer. Im already looking forward to next years.

Beautiful place. Surrounded by a beautiful park. Its got a lot of history at the place, too!! Its definitely something you should check out.

Great place to learn some history if you are from out of town. Excellent people working there as well.

Always a nice park to go to

Surprisingly good park with great parking. Was very nice.

Always nice

It is very beautiful and the grounds made a nice walking place with our dogs. Nice artwork.

Great park! They need to have events more often.

This park would be better when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) leave lawfully attending Park users alone.DHS and DPS questioned me about sitting on a park bench during the daytime. Meanwhile, they admitted to some paranoia about their money-laundering police sting at the adjacent border checkpoint. (Despite the publically announced effort on the signage boards.)The cops here need to get their act together and chill the F out.There are statutory and constitutional rights to lawfully use the park, to sit, to rest, and to take things in.The National Park Service should make sure DHS and DPS get the memo.Trust me, its better than my filing a formal complaint or a federal lawsuit.

Beautiful clean park with benches grills and pavilions.

Nice place, good scenic views! An El Paso Tradition.

Still beautiful

History place nice

Very well taken care of an the park rangers know their stuff. Cool place to hang out with the fam for a bit

Its especially great during summertime, when they have music under the stars and the 4rth of July fireworks display. Theres a lot of events there.

Nice atmosphere

The Visitor Center had so much information and some artifacts to look at. They have 2 stamps on the desk, but they have about 6 more unique stamps behind the desk. Just ask and theyll bring them out. I liked that there was also a self guided tour to some locations around the property. They have the shortest park video Ive ever seen. Its less than 5 minutes, but has some essential information about why it was designated a memorial. I arrived in the afternoon when the kids were out of school. They walked right in the middle of the memorial when they were leaving. If you dont want to deal with having to sit and wait for what felt like the entire school to cross the street and then to cross the parking lot then plan to be there before or after school is released.

Chamizal is unique, not for its beauty or access to nature, but for its portrayal of colonial conflict resolution. It is the modern cousin of our 19th century killing field memorials, where a battle in our 20th century wars against our neighbors was averted instead of slaughtering each other again... a place and time where technology was enlisted to resolve a dispute instead multiplying the body count. Rather than re-enacting the horrors of war, Chamizal lets us learn the lessons of peace.

Entertaining guide was definitely passionate and informative. Nice little historical addition to our day.

The grass is not well maintained anymore and now you cant take alcohol not cool

We went on an early Saturday morning stroll before the crowds and before the visitor center was even open...next time I definitely want to go inside....it was very peaceful and beautiful...the view into Mexico and being that close to the border was cool...a place where history was made!

I wasnt aware of the Rio Grande boarder history between Mexico and the US. The National Park Service has done a terrific job of preserving the history of the area.

Nice historic place place

Interesting place showing the border history between the US and Mexico

Why have I never been here? Very cool park for a walk or venue for live music.

A very pretty park and a great history lesson on settling disputes peacefully. The rangers could not have been more helpful and engaging. The doll collection was just beautiful. Highly recommend place.

I admit, I worked here years ago and this is THEE best place to visit. The pic here is inside the library. Lots of material pertaining to the history of El Paso, Tx.

I was close by when I visited my cousin in El Paso, Texas. I could go walking to do some exercise.

It has a nice museum and welcome center. You can se the bridge and Highway 10 which goes into Mexico and a very nice walking trail.

This is a very nice place to walk. It has not been kept as well as as it should have been the last few years but it still has long walking trails where you can be pretty much alone. There are also a couple of picnic areas where you can get together with family and friends for a cookout. This is one of the few large open spaces in the middle of the city. They also have facilities which host different events throughout the year. I would recommend if you want to get some outdoor exercise in. Its a very peaceful place with continuous federal law enforcement presence.

Amazing show,Music under the Stars ...Bring the family and the lonches. Sit back and enjoy the show. Sunday funday

A nice place for a picnic!

A National Memorial clearly describing the history of the border dispute between the US and Mexico due to changes in the course of the Rio Grande River. The film in the Visitors Center presents a clear, concise explanation of the dispute and its resolution. The Monument conducts cultural events to promote learning and understanding.

Wonderful place to walk your pets, lush plant life is apparent as well due to the vast amount of pollen. Great place to just sit and sunbathe in the Spring.

Being rejuvenated, be very nice when opens to public, grass still green, trees still make shade like when I was a kid! (80s)

I took my daughter there for the cultural festivities we enjoyed it especially the museum, and the concert all free. From the outside you can see the border from El Paso, and Juarez.

This a great place to go to me and my family have had some great experiences in here and there also some events there sometimes .

One of the only green places in El Paso. Great for an early morning jog

The only National Park within the city limits. And its mexican park as well.

Nice place to spread brotherly love accross borders...

I love the concerts at the Chamizal and the trails are nice, too.

Beautiful huge park right on the corner of a bridge and the Rio grande.... incredible history between two Nations.... Well worth the stop

Small but informative. We only spent 45 minutes there reading and looking at the display. I got another stamp in my National Parks book. I love America and all our National Parks!!!!

It was a nice experience, will definitely do it again

Beautiful!

Beautiful park that signifies the signing of the Chamizal Treaty involving our beloved and late President JFK.

Almost accidentally entered Mexico while trying to find this place, but it was worth it. Learned a lot about a land dispute I havent heard of before. School is across the street, so road was a little busy when I was there.

Beautiful site, maintained according to season. In tune with seasonal events. Great host

We were surprised at the offerings here. It is smaller than most National Historical Sites, but we learned a good deal and the staff were friendly.

Very interesting and informational national park. Very educative for students of all ages. Very friendly and knowledgeable park service staff so willing to interact with visitors.

Very peaceful park to have a nice walk or run. Has its tracks. Lots of big trees, perfect for the summer, they give enormous amount of shade.

Very clean place

A nice quick spot to walk around and look across to Mexico!

Great place to visit. A lot of information to take in and historical areas are clearly marked throughout. Kind and friendly staff.

Unity is Strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. -Mattie Stepanek

Great place to relax quiet n plenty of shade

Fun day trip for anyone living in the El Paso area who is interested in local history. Had a great time visiting and walked away with an enriched understanding of US/Mexico relations.

Very Nice and clean.

We came out from Las Cruces to see a play. The theater and museum were very nice. I will definitely be back another time.

Lots of grass. Bring blanket. Huge stage.

Calm, cool & serene park to visit. Great one of a kind cultural performances. Theatre seating is comfortable. Beautiful murals throughout. Truly a borderland hidden treasure.

Interesting history, told well by park rangers. A place to celebrate the friendship of the United States and Mexico and the countries ability to solve disputes diplomatically. It also holds the historically interesting artifact of a fence built by Mexico during Prohibition to keep American smugglers out of Mexico. The drawback of the site was a grass lawn-type layout not well-suited to the local environment, which could be replaced with landscaping more appropriate to the climate.

Nice memorial of a situation I was not even aware of. Historical!

Lovely facility nestled against the border, commemorating amicable resolution of disputes.

Park could be better if they installed an outside play area for the childrens. Its a decent size park. Check out their music under the stars concert venue which is free live music and food trucks.

Great park for several activities like concerts, picnics, running, walking, biking. It has sections with grass but theres a walking trail all around the park, which is about 0.7/0.8 miles. Theres public restrooms available. Theres also a museum open throughout the week; opens at 10.

Was very educational and the self guided tour was a lot of fun!!

Nice park directly adjacent to the US-Mexican border in memory of a disputed area created by natural shifting of the Rio Grande river over many decades. Very nice staff.

Nice place to have a cookout and on Sundays during the summer they have music under the star. Alcohol is prohibited June thru August.

This park is huge, they have a lot of events, one popular one would be the Music under the stars and it is very relaxing. They allow certain things for you to bring. They have a website where you can double check on those things, and 4th of July its probably the best place to go to to celebrate!

Clean park

This is the kind of place to go for history. I went here and the ranger was helpful and educated us about the Mexican-American treaty brought about by war. Good for everyone of all ages and is FREE

Experienced the park for the first time last night at the music under the stars event. The park is very green and beautiful.
