Albuquerque: City Council Approves New Dog Park in Northeast HeightsAlbuquerque: City Council Approves New Dog Park in Northeast Heights The Albuquerque City Council has approved plans for a new dog park in the Northeast Heights neighborhood. The park, to be located at 10301 Candelaria NE, will offer a fenced-in area where dogs can run and play off-leash. The park will feature separate areas for large and small dogs, as well as a water fountain, benches, and shade structures. It will be open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week. The new dog park is a welcome addition to the Northeast Heights community, which has been lacking in dedicated off-leash dog areas. The park is expected to be completed and open to the public by the end of the year. “We are excited to bring this new amenity to the Northeast Heights,” said Councilor Isaac Benton, who represents the area. “This park will provide a much-needed space for dogs to socialize and get exercise, and it will be a great place for people to gather and enjoy the outdoors.” The new dog park is part of the city’s larger effort to create more open space and recreational opportunities for residents. The city has recently completed several other dog parks, including one in the South Valley and one in the North Valley. The city is also working to create a network of dog-friendly trails throughout the city. The trails will allow dogs to enjoy the outdoors with their owners while also protecting wildlife and other trail users. The new dog park in the Northeast Heights is a testament to the city’s commitment to providing quality amenities for its residents and their furry friends.
