It's a very nice and clean big park...just one thing, there is no public restroom (just in case).

Academy Hills Park is a tranquil little oasis in Albuquerque's Northeast area very few people know about. I only became aware of this place as it becomes somewhat visible through the thick forested trees while driving past the Juan Tabo and Eubank intersection. Access to the park can be a little difficult to find, but it's not impossible. Simply catch Layton off Eubank, then turn left on to Concordia, and follow-up by turning left again into Admiral Emerson Ave. Once you've done that, you'll immediately find yourself driving alongside the park, where parking is usually plentiful. People who frequent this park most regularly seem to be residents of the nearby area; it's particularly popular with joggers, families, and dog-walkers. It's easy to understand why too, as the Academy Hills Park possesses a number of alluring qualities. Lush and far-stretching green fields of grass paved walking trails, and large shade-providing trees all bestow the park with its own unique sense of splendor. In addition, the mighty Sandias stand tall and proud at the east-facing end of the park, which just makes the place seem all the more picturesque. Albuquerque doesn't have too many wide-open areas deep within its limits that are both relaxing and largely free from the chaos of the city. Academy Hills Park is one such rare place; it's a hidden gem and one to definitely be taken advantage of (should you know where to find it).

Afternoon wedding in park was a perfect setting. Congratulations on your nuptials Marisa & Mike! Kudos

This park was perfect for wedding photographs for my clients! It's great because it's not super popular, but has a great view of the mountains! :) -Victoria (Mystical Rose Photography)

Beautiful park in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It has picnic tables, playground, walking paths, views of the Sandias, and lots of shade and grass.

Large safe grassy park. Big trees and large fields. Many people walk here, the loop is one mile.

Great park to enjoy the beautiful Albuquerque weather. My dog loves going for walks here and meeting new friends. The park is well maintained and generally free of questionable characters.

It’s a very cute park tucked away, that’s actually a pretty nice walk with paved sidewalk along the pathway. The field is a little patchy, but it’s to be expected during this time of the year. Playground looked nice and clean though, with plenty of room for the little ones to run around without bumping into each other!

Lots of fun! We've been cooped up from the pandemic for way too long. Took our granddaughter to the park today, and it was so much fun to just play on the playground. There were lots of people just hanging out and having fun. Next week, maybe we'll go back and pack a picnic lunch.

This park is perfect for family outings, walking/running and taking your dog out for a walk. We love to come here for family picnics. Their is plenty of space and you can usually find a spot in the shade under one of the trees. There are picnic tables and benches through out the park and of course a playground. I like how it has a paved trail that goes all the way around the park. You can also see the Sandia Mountains! Love this park!

One of my favorite places to walk around and relax. Lots of shade, very clean and family friendly.
