New Mexico is sometimes called the "land of enchantment", and
Albuquerque is its biggest city. It is also a great place to walk your
dog. Albuquerque is extremely friendly to dog owners and provides many
excellent places for you to take your puppy for a walk.
Stuff To Do Albuquerque
One of the great things about Albuquerque is that there are free poop
bags all over the city and in nearly every park. This has the benefit of
saving money for dog owners, and it also keeps the parks quite clean.
The sign on the dispensers suggest that you take only one bag at a time,
but you might want to take a couple bags depending on the habits of
your own particular dog. You shouldn't take many more than this,
however, since you want to make sure that all the other dog owners also
have equal access to the bags.
So where are the best places in Albuquerque to take your dog for a walk? Here are a couple recommendations:
1. Roosevelt Park
This is a beautiful park that was named after Franklin Roosevelt. It was
built during the New Deal time period. Under the New Deal, money was
allocated to city projects all over the country to put men to work. This
is a full-dedicated dog park, so you can let your dog run free and play
with other dogs. There is also a full Frisbee-golf course here so you
can hang out for hours while your dog plays. If you'd like to walk or
run with your dog, then there is a wide sidewalk that circles the entire
park and requires about 20 minutes to walk all the way around. This
park is located right next to the biggest hospital in the city
(Presbyterian Hospital) about halfway between the University and
Downtown areas of the city.
2. Other Parks
Although Roosevelt Park is the biggest and best, Albuquerque has at
least 11 dog parks in total, including: Coronado Park, Los Altos Park,
Montessa Park, North Domingo Baca, Rio Grande Triangle Park, Santa Fe
Village Dog Park, Tom Bolack Urban Forest Park, Tower Pond Park, USS
Bullhead Park, and Westgate Community Park. If you can't make it to
Roosevelt Park because it is too far away from your home, you might try
one of these.
