El Paso Water and the City's Public Service Board administer the park and provide water to it. |

El Paso County Water Improvement District No. 1, our local irrigation district, also provides water to the park. |

Ducks Unlimited provided the design, the initial management plan, and the water-control structures for the wetland project at Rio Bosque. |

The U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission built the wetland complex. |
