Urban Forest Park

A Natural Oasis in the City

Tucked within Albuquerque's city limits, Urban Forest Park offers a refreshing escape into nature that feels miles away from urban life. This compact 2.5-acre park is a leafy sanctuary where the mature trees create such a dense canopy that you might forget you're still in the city.

Explore the Woods

Winding walking trails invite you to wander through this miniature forest at your own pace. If you're looking for a peaceful morning jog, a thoughtful afternoon stroll, or just a quick nature break, these accessible paths make it easy to immerse yourself in the woodland atmosphere.

If you enjoy birdwatching, don't forget to bring your binoculars. The diverse tree species have created a surprisingly rich habitat for local wildlife, particularly birds that have made these trees their home.

Places to Relax

Beyond the wooded areas, you'll discover open grassy spaces meant for spreading out a blanket for a picnic or simply lying back to watch the clouds through the tree branches. The park offers a nice balance of sunny spots and shaded retreats, so you can find your perfect spot depending on the weather or your mood - whether that's soaking up some sun or cooling off with a book under the leafy canopy.

Green Impact

More than just a pretty place, this park plays an important role in Albuquerque's environmental health. As part of the city's urban forest initiative, these trees help clean the air and naturally cool the surrounding neighborhood.

The park welcomes visitors daily from 7AM to 10PM, making it easy to fit a nature break into your schedule without ever leaving the city.
