City Parks

Albuquerque has over 200 city parks, developed for a variety of uses.  Some have play structures and paths, some include tennis courts or basketball courts.  I have visited only a few, but they are a great resource for walking in the city, especially since some are adjoined by walking or bike paths or arroyos that  you can walk next to.
Morningside Park in Nob Hill hosts a weekly farmers market.

There are dog parks:













                                         


                                 And there's a skate park with several half-pipes.
 This park, Supper Rock Park, is more naturalized, with a play structure next to the rock formation and paths that wander through the cactus and native plants.  There are two views here from opposite ends of the park, both showing Supper Rock.

             Barstow Park, near our old apartment is more formally landscaped.

















This is a tiny park at the end of a bike trail that goes along Tramway for many miles. 

I'm looking forward to exploring more of the city parks, and I'm glad the city of Albuquerque makes its outdoor spaces and art a priority.
