In 1982, the Kern Place Association entered into the City of El Paso’s first park partner agreement to develop a master plan to revitalize the park. The partnership allowed for residents to purchase more than 150 trees and a new sprinkler system. The association continues to make park improvements such as new playground equipment, a resurfaced tennis court, and a gazebo.
The many improvements have increased park activity and events, including annual picnics, Music in the Park and more.
