![]() Construction could begin later this year on a long-desired new park in Horizon City, some 20 miles to the southeast of El Paso. The project will go up on a nearly 5-acre site off Linwood Drive near Benfield Court and will see the building of a pavilion, picnic shelters, a biking and hiking trail, and new lighting, among other amenities. Funding to the tune of $1.5 million has just been secured for what is being called the Horizon View Park Project through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission. Altogether, the commission awarded nearly $10 million in competitive financing for just under two dozen park projects across the Lone Star state. Additional work at the Horizon City Park is expected to result in soccer fields, multi-sport courts, and accessible outdoor fitness equipment. All of the facilities in the park, according to El Paso County officials, will be built with an eye to Americans with Disabilities Act compliance. A two-foot-tall rock wall will separate the park from a parking area to the north of the site, while a garden space will decorate the east side of the development. By Garry Boulard
