Phil Chacon Park

Phil Chacon Park is a public recreational area located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, situated near the intersection of Louisiana Boulevard SE and Kathryn Avenue SE. The park spans a considerable area and offers a variety of outdoor activities and amenities for visitors of all ages.

One of the park's notable features is its 0.6-mile walking trail, which provides a pleasant route for exercise and leisurely strolls. The trail is rated as a Grade 2 difficulty, making it accessible to most visitors. It comprises 4-8 foot wide asphalt and packed gravel surfaces, ensuring a comfortable walking experience.

The park is home to several sports fields, catering to various athletic interests. These fields are complemented by tree-lined pathways that offer shade and enhance the park's natural beauty. A public art sculpture adds a cultural touch to the landscape, serving as a point of interest for visitors.

Phil Chacon Park is undergoing significant renovations, with construction expected to be completed by late spring 2025. The proposed renovation design includes the addition of two softball fields with 225-foot fences, an international walk and walking loop, a renovated turf sports field, and a disc golf course. Plans also include the incorporation of basketball and futsal courts, a community garden, a food forest, and both standard and free-roam dog parks.

For families with children, the park plans to feature a playground, play area, and a nature play area. Additional amenities in the renovation plans include a BMX bike area, a shade and performance area, and cultural art installations.

The park's location near the Cesar Chavez Community Center provides convenient access to additional facilities and parking. Public transportation is available via ABQ Ride bus routes #3 and #157, making the park easily accessible to residents throughout Albuquerque.
