What Do Albuquerque New Mexico City Parks Look Like? Here Are 3 of My Favorites. PT 1
- 5 years ago
Albuquerque is full of lovely parks for the kids, for some quiet time, fun with friends, or family gatherings. You can be sure that nearly any neighborhood you decide to live in has a city park within walking distance.
One caveat for those with children is that Albuquerque didn't do so well at providing shade for the play equipment in the parks. When temperatures soar in the summer, the play equipment sits in the direct sun and can cause serious burns on children if they try to use the slide or play on any metal play equipment. So if you're taking them to the park to play - be sure you plan on going before it gets too hot or find a park with shade.
So these three parks are ones that we go to fairly often. The first one is Marie Park. Marie Park boasts tennis courts, basketball courts, a walking/biking path, playground, and lots of shade trees. Second is Hoffman Park. This is my favorite for walking but it also has tennis courts and basketball courts, lots of tables and benches, a big play area, and lots of big trees. Last is Matheson Park. I like this one because it has a bridge you can walk across. It's right next to an elementary school and there is a large grassy area and play area for the kids.
I hope you enjoy the video. I'll be doing more videos showing off more of our beautiful parks, so be sure to hit that notification bell if you want to be notified when I upload a new video. Please share, like & subscribe. Thanks for watching.
