Located on the far Eastside of El Paso, the Sportspark is merely days away from completion. Commissioner Leon, El Paso County department heads and Jordan Foster attended the final walk-thru before unveiling the beautiful completed park to all El Paso residents. Commissioner Leon states, “our constituents deserve and now have the finest Sportspark in the region.” The Sportspark is a vital sports center in El Paso as it holds competitive sports leagues for athletes of all ages, and Leon could not be more proud to house this center in Precinct 1.
