Open Space Visitor Center is the place to learn about the 29,000 acres within the Open Space system. The Visitor Center is also home to many birds that winter on the grounds, along with access to nature trails, a gardening space, and an art gallery.
This facility offers the public information and resources on the city of Albuquerque Open Space program. Renovations of the facility were completed in September 2006. The Visitor Center has exhibits interpreting the amazing natural and cultural resources the Open Space Division protects. It also features an art gallery, agricultural fields that draw a variety of wildlife, and stunning views of the Sandia Mountains.
The Open Space Visitor Center also offers comfortable indoor and outdoor viewing areas where you can watch Sandhill cranes and other migratory birds during their fall and winter migratory season.
The purpose of the Open Space Visitor Center is to convey and deepen the relationship between Albuquerque's Open Space program and the integrated community by providing an exceptional environment to enjoy, experience,and learn about land, wildlife and cultural heritage.
