REVIEWS OF Chamizal National Memorial - Park Grounds IN New Mexico

Thomas Cera

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

David Miller

jane contreras

Blanca Swingley

It was a nice experience, will definitely do it again

Lawrence Bassett

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.

Crash Bandicoot

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

Sarah Studt

Almost accidentally entered Mexico while trying to find this place, but it was worth it. Learned a lot about a land dispute I haven't heard of before. School is across the street, so road was a little busy when I was there.

Raul Espino

That place sucks the pavement is horrible

Emil Austin

The park is very clean and the facilities are well maintained.

Joshua Martin

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.

Nicole Baxter

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 they'll 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 I've ever seen. It's 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 don't 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.

Alberto Alcala

They have a small museum inside

S79r Nunya

Its beautiful here.

Joel Lawrence

A nice, quiet Oasis in the middle of the city.

Todd Mountain

I am sure rhe park is really nice was just to hot the day this Yankee visited it.

Patricia Hernandez

Shakespeare on the rocks. Enough said.

Thomas Cera

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

Kat Salas

Great piece of El Paso history. Great park for sitting outside or attending a cultural event.

Bryce Caster

Unless you're here for an event (which there are many), there really isn't much to do here. Inside the museum, there is a 4-minute film and about 20 minutes of exhibits. The rest of the park is merely a huge grassy field. Maybe one day they can expand the museum.

Jose Gutierrez

Very clean and nicely kept and a historic site

KenDavidson73 Kreture

Where the river changed history over and over.

Dan Hernandez

They are currently working on the parking lot. New pavement and improvements

I was so surprised at the amount of information at this small museum about the border lines of El Paso. Staff was polite and knowledgeable.

Dan S

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

Keith Sharrow

Neat place for a quick visit

Robert Konkol

Very interesting story of resolving a border dispute through diplomatic means rather than hubris. The current administration would do well in following this example,but arrogance and ego probably will not allow it.

Conner Wolfgang

I mean it's a free park....

debbie jenkins

Learned Mexico has 32 states

Juan Macias

Great place for concerts and theatre

Audrey Spearman

I wasn't 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.

Lori Martin

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!!!!

Thank you, CHAMIZAL NATIONAL MEMORIAL MUSEUM

TT Smiley

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.

Tatiana Silva

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.

Ivonne Medina-Salomon

I used to dance here when I was a kid with my folkloric dance group. Love it!

Daniel Navarro

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

Terence Apodaca

Been in El paso 5 years just attended an event at chamizal, was very impressed with theater and all, very nice venue

Butch Rios

Great place to relax quiet n plenty of shade

Darnell Allen

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

Darryl Olson

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.

Hank Marks

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.

Maria Francisca Vick

Amazing show,Music under the Stars

Vivian Uang

The park was closed because of the government shutdown.

Daniela Gutierrez

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 it's probably the best place to go to to celebrate!

Kartik Mendivil

Great place for outdoors events and theater plays

mmassie4321

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

Mike Elias

Not to many people which makes it even better for a run ,walk or bike ride.

Allen Frank

Historical marker and area worth knowing.

Alejandro Gomez

Awesome park!

Cynthia Staples

Free! It details the history of the border dispute between the US and Mexico over the Rio Grande area. The picnic areas a clean and provide bbq grills and lots of shade trees.

A Barraza

Great place for the family to enjoy a nature walk or picnic.

Angel Calderon

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.

Sherry Mendela

Saw a musical production at the theater here. Nice place for shows.

A National Park on the border of El Paso, TX. The park hosts many events, both local and national. Music Under the Stars, a free music program sponsored by the City of El Paso has been held here since the 1990s. Parking can be limited depending on events. During Music Under the Stars parking reaches capacity and you must park at the nearby Bowie High School, and make the trek to the park. In my opinion that becomes part of the whole experience and is not even close to a deal breaker. Also, the El Paso Chopin music festival has been held here for the past 10 or more years at the theater inside the visitor center. Park has restrooms both indoors and outdoors. Park rangers control the park so you always feel safe. There are two trails for walking or running, one mile and 1/2 mile, both will give you a clear view of the Bridge of the Americas Port of Entry into the U.S. and it's 24 hour queues of incoming traffic from Mexico. Great place for picture shoots.

Elsa Mendoza

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.

Adam Brasher

A little off the beaten path, but an interesting look at a piece of American/Mexican history many don't know about. A little sparse on the inside, but worth a quick stop if you're in the area and it's not out of your way.

Leonard Dennis

Nice and informational and get a nice workout around the track and learn stuff in the Museum

jeremy alexander

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

Danielle Ledgerwood

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

Deanna Chappie

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

Hubert Rodriguez

Good walking park.

Donna Reid Bignell

Very knowledgeable Rangers.

Alejandro Espinoza

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.

Saul Lira

Great place to go out for a jog

Diane Kaminski

Would have been better if they weren't under construction. Couldn't go through to see all the exhibits. Grounds were very nice.

Shaun Kelley

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

Michael Patino

Awesome park

After making a wrong turn and ended up in mexico, we came back and had a lovely visit. 2 Thumbs up.

Jianwei Shi

It is a surprisingly quiiet place but worth visiting in order to know the US-Mexico border issue! Let peace be with both countries and the people.

Jaime Solorza

Ground was a provactive play... enjoyed it

Angela Stevens

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!

Natalie Klenk

Awesome park rangers and beautiful space!!!

Cordao de ouro Atlanta

The museum make the history nice and easy ... it was worst than you can see here .

Nicholas Q

Nice place to spread brotherly love accross borders...

Rebecca Tahchawwickah

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

Ramon Gonzalez

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

Crystal Jackson

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.

Adam Kulam

Lovely little historical building on my El Paso trip. You'll 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!

Larry Renteria

Wonderful service...very pleasant servers..

Ramon Gonzalez

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

Anie Beh

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

TOM M

a great place to learn US-MEXICO histoy. the park rangers are very friendly and ready to answer your Qs. the park is very quiet, peaceful, has a lot of green.

Armando Salas

A significantly historical National Park.

Arlene Medina

Some of the Park rangers are moody and have to many rules not like the north east where they have plenty of seats..

Adan Mares

History in Real Life.

Debra Ortega

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

David West

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.

John Tieken

Very interesting, wish I had more time.

Angel Moreno

It's great for you to enjoy your day with your family

Mick Jason

A must place to see. Be sure to visit the Cultural Center there.

Ashlee Essary

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

Emma Dominguez

Nice and green. Well kept.

Joel Valdez

I like that this park has a huge open field. It's great when you want to play football.

Lourdes Ibarra

Great festivals and expositions for free. Love it.

Jesus Ruiz

Great place.

Frank Lopez

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. It's a very peaceful place with continuous federal law enforcement presence.

Adam Kulam

Laraine S

Shakespeare on the Rocks performance was phenomenal! Just loved that the Watch were women! Applause, applause, applause!

Friendly staff! Our group showed up and it was closed, and they opened it back up for us

Sara Lira

Loved it, first time there it's so beautiful!!!!!!

Wanda Velez
