Great place for a nice sunset walk really close to NE Albuquerque. Be aware that it usually costs 1 - 2$ to park in cash, but sometimes they don't collect when I visit which is usually around sunset. It is always cooling down nicely an hour before sunset! There are many actual trails to go on, some are walking only, but some of them you have to share bikes with so make sure you are on the lookout for them since they speed from behind the bushes. I've never had problems with bugs so far, but it's really open so if you plan to visit during the middle of the day make sure you have sunscreen!
Great place to take your pups for a hike! Plenty of shaded areas for a quick water break and there's even some tables and benches along the way for a nice picnic. Very well maintained, I've never seen any litter anywhere. Also a great place for photos!
Great for walking, dog walking, and cycling. Picnic gazebo probably needs to be reserved as it's always occupied. Can spot deer crossing the trails on cooler days. Bring your own water and snacks. Trails can have traffic jams of cyclists and walkers sharing same paths. Usually very busy but the ranger at the pay gate will tell you if they are close to full. Pay pass for the year is $30-35 for two owned vehicles so very worth it if you visit often.
It's a beautiful place to walk and hike. Also the views are amazing any time of year. It's a good are to take the Family and appreciate nature. I try to go there as often as I can. Peaceful and serene.

$200k from legislature going toward Elena Gallegos Open Space.
We decided to head to Elena Gallegos Open Space or Elena Gallegos Picnic Area, which it is alternately called. The location of the park allows for amazing views of the Sandia Mountains. The weather was sunny and beautiful, and the sunlight illuminated all of the colorful desert plants.
