Alligator Pool
From 1889 to 1965, a small congregation of alligators inhabited an oasis in the middle of San Jacinto Plaza in Downtown El Paso. The Plaza was filled with thick grass, Chinese elms and a large pond with fish, turtles and alligators. Due to vandalism they had to be removed. In 1972, the city brought the alligators back with a plastic shield, but that lasted only a couple of years before they were taken back to the zoo. Now a fiberglass sculpture by Luis Jimenez reminds of the alligators.
