Located on the Rio Grande flyway in the heart of Albuquerque, the park offers excellent birdwatching opportunities throughout the year. There are indoor and outdoor wildlife viewing areas overlooking ponds, and trail access to the Rio Grande Bosque. The visitor center contains numerous exhibits suitable for school groups to educate the public about Rio Grande ecosystems, and to foster positive human interactions with those systems. The education building often has interpretive and wildlife programs: please check the park website for Kids summer day camps and special events held at the park throughout the year.
