Home > Design > Open Space & Trails
In its first project in implementing the City of El Paso Trail and Open Space initiative, Sites Southwest led a multi-disciplinary team to create a prototypical design with custom elements that will be the model for future Open Space projects. Plazas with game board paving, an outdoor amphitheater, lighting, ADA elements, interpretive educational signage and health conscious elements such as walking, biking trails and an exercise trail highlight these spaces. Low water use plants provide shade and beauty while still allowing these facilities to be able to be used as drainage sites. Functional yet beautiful, and right on budget, this project required working with neighborhoods, community groups, City departments, the City Council representative and other entities to balance the needs and desires of all while managing a tight budget and project scope.
