Arroyo Del Oso Park Highlights
Wide-open rich and green grassy field space to enjoy a variety of fun activities with a basketball and tennis court. It is one of the largest parks in the city of Albuquerque- the walking bike path curves around the soccer field and the playground is a fun safe structure for kids of all ages to play. This area is pet-friendly for dogs on leashes with a 20+ hole golf course for adults to enjoy.
Adopt-a-Park
Community organizations, businesses, and private citizens may adopt a park. The program is flexible enough to allow organizations, business or individuals to choose a location and level of commitment that works best for them, their family, or their staff. The best part—you can adopt a park in your neighborhood!
Contribute directly to the beautification of our City, starting with the area that matters most to you! Volunteering in City of Albuquerque parks is a great way to help our community shine!
Parks can be adopted collaboratively, or by a single family or organization. Families and organizations that adopt a park in-whole (with a minimum commitment of two years) will be recognized with the placement of a sign in the park to recognize and celebrate their contribution.
Parks are a place for everyone to enjoy, and the maintenance of our parks are a place for everyone to pitch in. Even if you don’t commit to adopting a park for two years, you can still sign up here to log the hours you spend doing your part to keep Albuquerque beautiful.
This program provides volunteers with excellent opportunities to gain valuable work experience, make a connection with the community, and meet new people. Plus, you can bring your family and pets to accompany you in your project.
