Site and Surroundings

Workers' Memorial Park received its name on April 28, 2000, when various Albuquerque union members gathered to change the name from San Mateo Mini-Park. Two city councilors and area neighborhood associations supported the name change.

Mile Hi, Alvarado Park and Sandia Ridge are the neighborhoods surrounding Workers' Memorial Park. They are represented by the  Mile-Hi Neighborhood Association  and the  Alvarado Park Neighborhood Association.  Most recently, a partnership was formed between the four neighborhoods of Mile-Hi, Alvarado Park, Fair West and Mark Twain to create the "Revitalize San Pedro Partnership". They are collaborating with New Mexico MainStreet and the City of Albuquerque to revitalize and promote economic development on San Pedro Blvd between the I-40 and Central Avenue.
