Mary Fox Park

Park Features

Located in Albuquerque, Mary Fox Park is a small but mighty green oasis that offers a breath of fresh air from the urban hustle. This pocket-sized park creates a peaceful retreat right in the heart of the city.

With its carpet of lush grass and scattered trees, the park offers a touch of nature in an unexpected place. The charming gazebo stands as the park's centerpiece, giving this local park a distinct personality all its own.

Recreation Areas

Kids light up at the sight of the park's playground area, a magnet for families looking for outdoor fun. Little ones can spend hours on the swings, zip down slides, traverse the monkey bars, or take a spin on the unique bowl-shaped merry-go-round that never fails to produce giggles and smiles.

Beyond the playground, you'll find a generous open grassy area great for whatever activity strikes your fancy. Whether you're planning a small gathering, having a picnic, or just need space to toss a frisbee, this versatile green space works well.

Shade and Seating

Even on Albuquerque's warmest days, Mary Fox Park keeps its cool thanks to several mature trees creating natural umbrellas across the grounds. The section with overhanging branches is particularly nice - an excellent spot to relax with a book or simply enjoy some tranquility.

You won't struggle to find a place to sit, with multiple benches placed strategically around the park and picnic tables that invite you to bring lunch or a snack. Each seating area is positioned to take advantage of the park's natural setting.

Pet-Friendly Environment

Four-legged friends are welcome at Mary Fox Park, making it a pet-friendly destination that local dog owners appreciate. The open grassy areas provide plenty of room for pups to stretch their legs and burn off energy.

The park has become something of a casual meeting spot, where dog walkers often pause for conversations with neighbors.

Set within the historic Fourth Ward Historical Neighborhood, the park is surrounded by beautifully preserved properties that tell stories of Albuquerque's past. This location means you can combine a park visit with a self-guided tour of the area's architectural features.
