A beach day… in the desert?! 🌵⛱️

Vista Beach is officially open at Vista del Norte Park! This new nature-based play space brings a little beach experience to Albuquerque with a shaded wet-sand area where kids can dig, build sandcastles, make creations, and let their imaginations run wild. ☀️

The sand is watered periodically to create the perfect conditions for building and sensory play so bring those buckets and shovels!

While the kids play, parents can relax in the seating areas and upper-level overlook, with plenty of spots to gather and keep an eye on the little ones.

Surrounded by native plants, rocks, logs, stepping stones, and pathways, Vista Beach gives kids a chance to explore nature in a whole new way. 🌿

So… who’s ready to build a sandcastle? 🏖️

🎾 Game, set, celebrate! 🎾

Last night we celebrated 10 freshly resurfaced tennis courts, a little friendly competition with a 1-Point Tournament, and a special moment honoring a local tennis legend.

Court 2 is now officially named for Joe Felice, who has spent more than five decades teaching, competing and growing the sport right here in New Mexico. The dedication is part of Mayor Tim Keller’s Stories of Us initiative celebrating the people who help make our community what it is!
