Hyder Park — Attraction in Albuquerque

It has been a long time since I came to the Hyder Park for Tasty Tuesday. I was glad I did this time because five food trucks were there and one of them is my favorite! I love the idea of food trucks at parks because they move around all the time and keeping track of where they will be can be difficult.

Each food truck offered a tasty sample from their menus and they were all tasty indeed. The Supper food truck handed out their hand cut fries with parmesan cheese, the Street food truck gave a fiery egg roll which was perfect to open up taste buds. On to the next one, Soobak celebrated the summer with deep fried peach topped with kimchi chiles and fresh whipped cream -- mmmmm yummy! Pop fizz cooled our palates down with their popsicles, choose your own flavor between mango or strawberry. The Crepe stand showcased their crepe skill by making crepe cake filled with vanilla cream and topped with fresh raspberry.

There was also live music and yoga class at the park. Kids were running around and dogs are everywhere as well. It was a perfect evening. If you haven't checked out the Tasty Tuesday at this park, come before it's gone...

Large size park on a hill located in interior of neighborhood but TONS of local community pedestrian traffic and even more pedestrian traffic on Tasty Tuesday nights. You can count on this park being pretty busy most times of the day, every day so if you're looking for a quieter less crowded park to spend some time.

Most people with dogs keep them on leash so you don't have to worry about errant pups bugging you (not that I would mind, I love dogs). Limited waste receptacles but they are there if you need to dispose of your picnic left overs or dog waste.

The Tasty Tuesday thing is huge, food trucks, live music, it can be fun and worth checking out!

Great place to check out, but I prefer less popular places with fewer people to...

My only complaint is that I wish it were bigger. My partner and I happened upon this party while searching for a good impromptu picnic spot. We were there in a Saturday at around 2 pm, and it was peopled but not at all crowded. A lovely sprinkling of trees, grassy areas, and a walking loop around the perimeter made this a perfect casual picnic/ afternoon book reading spot. The speckled shade throughout made almost every grassy spot in a perfect place to spread out a picnic blanket. If you like neighborhood parks then you'll like this. The neighborhood was quiet and even had some nice Pueblo style buildings with beautiful front yard gardens adjacent to the park. It was a very nice...
