Keystone Heritage Park, Inc.

We are a 58-acre park, featuring 2 acres of garden, 17 acres of natural wetlands, and 17 acres dedicated to a Chihuahuan desert experience. A loop trail connects these diverse areas. The remaining acreage is home to a 4,500-year-old archaeological site, currently closedto the public.

Our park is home to over 230 species of birds, some of which reside here year-round, while others migrate through. The wetlands you see are fed by a natural spring, which likely contributed to the Rio Grande as recently as 200 years ago. In the past, this area was a rich marshland, populated by cottonwoods, black willows, screwbean mesquite, cattails, and grasslands. While several springs can be found in the region, this is the only one that is accessible to the public.

The Botanical Garden at Keystone is a project adopted by the Junior League of El Paso in the year 2000. In 2003, the Rotary Club of El Paso committed to building Phase Two of the garden. The Garden encompasses features such as a Xeric demonstration garden, a childrens garden, an amphitheater, a moonlight garden, an ethno-botanical garden and more. This Garden represents an approximate $1.2 million investment in our community and is the result of donations and volunteer work by individuals, youth and Eagle Scouts and businesses on both sides of our border. We are always open to working community groups with projects to help enhance, preserve and protect the Park. The now maturing garden is available for events such as weddings, reunions and corporate gatherings.

We are a privately managed non-profit park (no city or county taxes support the park) so every volunteer hour helps support the maintenance of the park.

To preserve, protect and develop the Keystone Heritage Park, a 58.9-acre tract of land in El Paso, TX that includes the wetlands, the archaeological site and botanical garden and To promote awareness of the ecological and historical significance of the site.
