Altura Park Playground Replacement Begins Design Phase

In 2026 Senator Sedillo Lopez and Representative Parajón provided capital outlay to replace the playground equipment in Altura Park. After an initial community meeting March 2026, the design phase has begun.

Altura Park received numerous upgrades in 2024 including the planting of 9 new trees and celebrated the planting of the pollinator garden. The harvest of the garden was so abundant that City of Albuquerque workers made bouquets for the nearby senior center. The creation of the pollinator garden and the planting of trees helps sustain biodiversity by providing food, water, shelter, and places to raise young for wildlife. These can also help reduce heat islands as the trees mature and prosper.

Also among the upgrades, the park's dual tennis courts have been repaired and resurfaced, replacing the cracked and worn surface just in time for Summer 2025's tennis fans!
