Pavo Real Splash Park/Dog Water Park — Attraction in El Paso

Finally decided to take my son to this splash park, he was definitely excited about the slides. We went on a weekday around 11am and it was packed, there were several buses from schools and or daycares in the parking lot and in the park.

The beautiful dog park is too small for dogs other than small dogs. The people that attend with their pups do not pick up after them despite the plastic bags and trash bin easily accessible. I picked up at least 7 pounds of poo before bringing my dogs to the huge field nearby. As you can see from picture posted, the grass is prickly because it is December. Unfortunately people leave garbage and poo on this field too. If the people that attended cared about keeping these both clean, it would be...
