    Cute park, great views of Albuquerque and the Rio Grande. No access to the water from the bluff. There were a few people loitering, sleeping but relatively quiet for a neighborhood park.

    So yes there is a little graffiti and occasionally some undesirables, but this is one of my favorite places to view the city and the river. Catch the sunrise or sunset for some gorgeous sites and sounds. There's always rabbits in the grass too. I love the locks on the fence that everyone has added over time and what they symbolize. It's a cute place to stop by w a date or to rest after a run or just to take some time to yourself!

    It could've been more lit so no one could jump out the shadows to mug you. It was a light when you first came in, and that was it. Horrible. The view was good.

    Broken glass and trash everywhere. Sad. The lookout spot with the view is so pretty, people have put locks on the fence, mostly couples but the park itself is sketchy. Don't walk barefoot.

    This park has great views of the city I just wish the benches were replaced. They are hella uncomfortable. Went here with my man and our puppy and I swear I couldn't even sit in the bench for more than 5 minutes, plus it got all kinds of dark marks on my clothing.

    Scenic overlook of the Rio Grande, Albuquerque, and the range of mountains beyond. Amenities include a paved sidewalk to the ridge, a covered seating area, and trash repticles. Other offerings are available in a park immediately to the west.

    I've waited 10 years to put a padlock on this fence. I was so excited to finally get to do it! Thanks to My Jimbolaya 💕💕 Thank you so much !! you have no idea how much this meant and means to me 🥰😋.... Besos 😘

  • 5/5 Janelle C. 1 year ago on Google
    I once found this spot by accident now I love stopping at this cute little area whenever I can. It's so different than most areas with a twist and a view to see at least once.

  • 2/5 Timothy C. 10 months ago on Google
    The view is phenomenal but there's a lot of trash in the bushes. You can get some stunning pictures of the river if you can ignore the graffiti

  • 5/5 Edgar Y. 10 months ago on Google
    I've never been here, and I wanted to see the views. Nice, come in the early evening. The city lights up. Beautiful.

  • 4/5 Mary T. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice view. Strange to be in a neighborhood though. Left our lock on honor of our December wedding.

  • 1/5 Robert B. 8 months ago on Google
    A beautiful view. Unfortunately the neighborhood seems to be a little rough. The park is a long rectangle surrounded by fences, and has poor sightlines for safety. Wife and I went to grab sunset pictures. As soon as got half way to the bluff, four young men got out a car where they'd been waiting, and started to follow us into the park. This was obviously concerning. We unhurriedly saw the view and turned to leave. We managed to get past the young men with minimal interaction. As we got near the street, a middle aged man with a back pack looking nervous went to meet the young men and they started exchanging cash and small packages. All in all, until Albuquerque gets a grip on public safety, I won't be back. Certainly not at twilight or night. It's a shame, as the view is wonderful.

    Nice Park to hold small events like birthday parties small wedding with a great view of the Rio grande valley and the Sandia mountains!

  • 3/5 San J C. 4 months ago on Google
    A place to put a lock on the fence dedicated to your love. Beautiful scenery.

  • 4/5 K E. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic view. I missed it last week because the sunset VIEW address is actually West Bluff Park, Vista Grande Dr NW, Albuquerque, NM instead of the posted address on Alamogordo wish dead ends into a not so great area of the park.
