The El Paso County Parks & Recreation Department invites the public to participate in two discussions. The first meeting will be held as an in-person event, Saturday Feb. 12, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Ascarate Park Pavilion. The second meeting will be held virtually on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the QR code on the attached flyer or call 469-848-0274, phone conference ID 185 720 792#.
Participants will see a visual interpretation of the master plan adopted in 2021 which can also be found by visiting www.epcountyparks.com/epmasterplan. With this visual in mind, Parks and Recreation staff will then initiate a discussion about a name update concept– keeping the name Ascarate but adding language that describes the vision of the master plan.
In 2018, the El Paso County Parks and Recreation Department created a regional park plan. The plan focused on needed improvements within existing parks, but also identified the need for a broader master planning process that considered public recreation needs and preferences based on input received by the community and stakeholders
