Vista Del Norte Park — Attraction in Albuquerque

A very beautiful park that has things for all children ages 2 to 12. Seems like most of the children love the zip line. There will be a wait for your child to use it but I guarantee they will love it. Can hold a lot of weight, I’m a grown big kid, 6 foot, 275 pounds and it was able to hold my weight easily as well as my children. The park sits next to a massive field that has a multitude of soccer goal posts. This place is a sight to behold, especially during the annual hot air balloon festival where it serves as a landing spot for the hot air balloons. I believe during that time of year, they put Porta potties out but I haven’t seen a bathroom (it could be on the other side, remember the space is massive).

Didn't realize there were doggie poop bags even available until right before I left, as they were all the way down at the far end, near a gated, double locked port-a-potty (also unusable and inaccessible to anyone who may need it during regular daytime hours aka 9am Monday morning). Also, some of the trash can were also full, just as reported in an earlier review.

Great park, but...needs some clean up AND some rethinking. Will come back if they clean up sometime in the...

Been coming to this park for years and love it. Its got tons of space, lots of parking. Around balloon fiesta time you can catch some landings here. The playground is pretty fun and there is TONS of parking! The weekends get pretty busy with some team sports either practicing or playing games. You can even catch poppops Italian ice truck here, the soggy dog wash truck in the summer I think, and other fun vendors sometimes. People here are always friendly as a lot of us become regulars here! - also great place to walk...
