Winrock Park

Urban Oasis in the City

Situated in the heart of Albuquerque, Winrock Park is a fresh 2.5-acre green space that opened in June 2024 within the Winrock Town Center complex. This little urban retreat offers a mix of nature and modern amenities in the city.

Scenic Water and Walking Spaces

A charming lake stretches across the park, creating a peaceful backdrop as you explore. Keep an eye out for the fish and turtles that call these waters home - they add a touch of wilderness to this city setting.

The walking bridge arching over the water gives you an excellent vantage point for taking in the scenery (and maybe snapping a few photos). Meandering walking paths wind through thoughtfully landscaped areas, making for a pleasant stroll whether you're getting some exercise or just clearing your head after a long day.

Entertainment for Everyone

At the heart of the park sits an amphitheater where the community comes together for performances and events. If you're a music lover, the free summer concerts are particularly worth checking out - just bring a blanket and enjoy the sounds under the New Mexico sky.

Families will appreciate the playground area for the little ones, however on hot Albuquerque days, you might want to visit in the morning or evening since the equipment can heat up quite a bit in the direct sun.

Local Flavor and Community

The park has activities happening throughout the week. Wednesdays bring a growers market with fresh produce, while Fridays feature live music that sets an excellent weekend mood. Saturday mornings start with free yoga sessions on the grass, followed by an artisans market where you can browse locally made treasures.

When hunger strikes or you just want to relax, picnic tables scattered throughout the park offer a great spot to enjoy a meal or dive into a good book.

A Work in Progress

The park is still growing into itself, with young landscaping and some construction happening in the surrounding areas. You'll notice art installations appearing over time, along with new benches and large umbrellas that provide welcome shade on sunny days.

As development continues, this uptown space is becoming more established within the Albuquerque community.

Connect with Nature

Take a moment to check out the information kiosks around the park. They offer interesting insights about Albuquerque's outdoor environment and local ecology, helping you appreciate the natural world around you even in this urban setting.
