Mariposa Basin Park

It's easy to love Mariposa. Great trails for walking, running and biking, a playground for kids with large mature shade trees, a duck pond and huge field for outdoor sports. Bathrooms on-site as well. It's one of the best parks in Albuquerque.

Lots of open space for parties and a good playground. Nets and field for sports. Bathrooms available.

Nice, large grassy park, with basketball court and children's playground. Has a pond that has ducks, huge fish, and turtles. You'll see them if you toss bread into pond. There was an ice cream truck that appeared twice in an afternoon.

I was so happy to be there for the annual Balloon Fiesta! It was magical, for a lack of a better word. It was AWESOME so see and with all them floating overhead on a pretty morning in October. I saw many shapes and sizes. I loved the museum and the interesting history of the fiesta and balloons in general. A free interactive areas and the park was well kept and clean.

Visited this park as a jumping off point for a hot air balloon ride. It was beautiful and serene early in the morning, but I didn't see any mariposas. Would give the 5 stars but the bathrooms we're really gross.

RECOMMEND: Was here running in the NM Farolito 5k in the evening. Thoroughly enjoyed this clean park and will absolutely go back.

Mariposa basin park is always very beautiful to go for a walk around the park especially during sunrise or sunset! My dog loves it too, it's also nice too for the little kids to take bread to feed the ducks as well! My favorite part is the big butterfly infront of the park right by the sign! Super big park eith enough space for every group to have there space and there privacy! The parking is also very spacey! Definitely do enough it and always have to recommend going to the park when they have a couple of food trucks and vendors out in the parking lot selling all the yummy and local food and treats! A. Wry peaceful park as well!

This park sits quietly in the suburbs of Northwest Albuquerque; just a few miles away from Petroglyph National Monument. It's popular amongst locals and park-goers alike for a number of reasons. Large green fields of grass cover the majority of its surface area, making sports easy to organize as well as other special events. Another reason being good infrastructure: several baseball fields sit at the southern end of the park and play equipment is also heavily featured should your little ones need a place to expel excess energy. Walking trails are also present and appear to be favored most by local high school cross country and track teams. Last but not least, the duck ponds that lie at the epicenter of the park endows it with both its unique identity and tranquility. A wonderful park that sits quietly in Albuquerque's Northwest side.

Mariposa Basin Park is amazing. Grounds are clean. Used the gazebo and had a wonderful time. Had our 50th class reunion and everyone enjoyed themselves. Plenty of parking!

This is a great park to have any type of event!! Has a pond that is really relaxing. It can be busy on the weekends but during the week it is nice. Has a small work out gym. Lots of space. Love this park
