Wellesley Park

Fresh Courts for Tennis Lovers

Wellesley Park got a major upgrade in 2022 with its newly resurfaced tennis courts, part of a $51,740.47 renovation project. The funding came through a mix of state capital outlay and City money - your tax dollars at work in a genuinely useful way!

What makes these courts special? They sport a unique purple and blue color scheme that definitely stands out among Albuquerque's tennis facilities. The makeover didn't stop at the surface - new nets, poles, and wind screens were added to enhance your playing experience.

One thing to note: there's no lighting at these courts, so you'll need to plan your matches during daylight hours. And heads up - the courts sit pretty close to the street, so an enthusiastic serve might occasionally send a ball on an unexpected adventure beyond the fence.

Kid-Friendly Play Space

Got little ones with energy to burn? The park's family-friendly playground is a hit with local families. With slides and various play equipment sized just right for younger children, it's well-suited for an afternoon of fun.

What makes this playground extra convenient is the parking situated right next to it - no long treks with tired toddlers after playtime. The setup provides a safe environment where kids of different ages can climb, slide, and make new friends.

Neighborhood Green Space

While Wellesley Park isn't massive compared to some of Albuquerque's larger parks, it is a valuable green retreat for the surrounding community. It's one of those modest but essential neighborhood spaces that brings people together.

The park offers a tranquil setting for everything from morning stretches to afternoon picnics, providing a green breathing space amid the urban landscape. You might even get to know your neighbors while your kids play together.

For the Fur Babies

Dog parents, rejoice! Wellesley Park includes a designated dog area where your four-legged friends can stretch their legs and socialize. It's a popular spot for local pet owners to gather and socialize.
