Keystone Heritage Park

Keystone Heritage Park is an archaeological site, an archaic wetlands, representative of those that once lined the Rio Grande, and a botanical garden, showcasing the flora and fauna native to the Southwest. The archeological site was accidently discovered in the 1970s and is considered a significant find from the Middle Archaic Period. This portion of the park is not yet open to the public. The El Paso Desert Botanical Gardens and Wetlands are open to the public. The Wetlands are also home to many species of birds and serve as a migratory route for many more. Recently completed is the Chihuahuan Desert Experience, immediately west of the wetlands. It is open daily from 7:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. for walking and bird watching. Tours and special events may be scheduled at the gardens. KeystoneHeritagePark.org
