Albuquerque –

The City of Albuquerque Open Space Visitor Center will be extending normal operating hours to Sundays beginning January 6, 2008.

The Visitor Center features educational exhibits on the history of our local Open Space and the natural and cultural history of the three main land areas in the system: West Mesa, Bosque and Sandia Foothills. The Center is nestled among 24-acres of agricultural fields that attract a variety of wildlife for public viewing and a gallery hosts changing art exhibits that express a unique interpretation of Open Space. Guests can also access bosque trails from the Center. Talks, demonstrations and workshops featuring a wide range of subjects from wildlife photography to archaeology are regularly scheduled at the Center. Visit www.cabq.gov/openspace for a current calendar of events.



The Open Space Visitor Center is located at 6500 Coors Blvd. NW between Montano Rd. and Paseo del Norte at the end of Bosque Meadows Road. Beginning January 6, the Center will be open Tuesday through Sunday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Call (505) 897-8831 for more information.
