San Jacinto Plaza
San Jacinto Plaza is an historic park located in the heart of Downtown El Paso. For many years, one of the main attractions of the plaza was its Alligator Pond. The alligators were the central attraction and thrived. At one time the pond contained as many as seven of the reptiles. Most visitors to the park would rest on the wall surrounding the pond and watch the alligators. The reptiles quickly became a staple of the El Paso Culture.
