Workers' Memorial Park Visioning
Background and Goals
The visioning and re-design of Workers' Memorial Park is a project being sponsored and managed by the Albuquerque Department of Parks and Recreation and Council Services. Surrounding neighborhood residents have voiced a desire for a more user-friendly park space. The re-design process will address issues of safety, shade, neighborhood identity, play and recreation space. In the coming months, there will be multiple opportunities for community members to participate in walking tours, park mapping, surveys and community meetings.

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.
