A project that will bring improvements to Agua Dulce Park in far East El Paso will break ground this week.
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17 at Agua Dulce Park, 15371 Kentwood Ave.
County Commissioner Iliana Holguin is inviting residents and families to attend the ceremony and see what voter-approved 2024 Capital Improvement Bond money is doing. This will be the second project for County Parks and Recreation funded through that bond.
This project reflects Precinct 3’s continued commitment to expanding safe, inclusive, and accessible outdoor spaces for families, Holguin’s office said.
Improvements will include:
A new paved parking lot with ADA-accessible spaces
A renovated walking trail
A new water fountain
New park shelters with picnic tables, benches, and waste receptacles
Enhancements to improve overall safety and accessibility
Holguin said that this groundbreaking represents momentum — not just planning.
“When voters approved the 2024 bond, they trusted us to deliver meaningful improvements quickly and responsibly,” Holguin said. “Agua Dulce Park is another example of that promise in action. Families here deserve well-maintained, accessible spaces where they can walk, gather, and spend time together. We are proud to move this project forward for our community.”
In June 2025, Commissioners Court approved the first issuance of general obligation bond funds, clearing the way for park projects to begin. Within six months, the County completed its first project and is now breaking ground on its second.
“Parks are more than open space,” Holguin said. “They are places where neighbors connect, where children play, where families build memories. Every improvement we make strengthens the fabric of our community.”
