EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A County park in Fabens will soon be getting a new full-sized basketball court, El Paso County said in a news release.
El Paso County, along with the Fabens Neighborhood Association, will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week for a new basketball court at Risinger Park, 301 Grace St. in Fabens.
The ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10 at the park.
The new basketball court is part of an ongoing effort to provide recreational opportunities for the Fabens community, the County said in a news release. Funding for the new court came from the County’s Neighborhood Improvement Program.
“I am so happy that the new basketball court at Risinger Park is finally ready for the children of
Fabens to enjoy once more,” County Commissioner Iliana Holguin said. “When the County built the all-abilities playground at Risinger Park, the basketball court had to be relocated. But we knew how important the basketball court was to the community, so we vowed to rebuild the court as quickly as possible. I am so happy that that day has finally arrived, and I can’t wait to see the children playing on the court once again.”
