Albuquerque
- Rio Grande
Park: Albuquerque, New Mexico. Location: 1511 Kit Carson SE. Directions:
Located in the downtown area. I wrote down to take Rio Grande south (coming
from northern Albuquerque or Rio Rancho, NM) to Central and that it's south of
I-40 and east of I-25. (PS, it's "how to get there", not "how to get their")
(Thank you Deanna Fellman)

Tom Bolack Urban Forest Park. Description: a wooded park with a fenced area, one side is a concrete wall as
the park is just south of I-40. Albuquerque, New Mexico, Location: 2000 Dakota St NE. Directions: From I-25, take I-40 east to San Mateo Blvd. Turn left onto Haines (2nd left turn-east, although the 1st left turn will get you there, too) and follow it to Dakota, which is east of San Pedro Dr. Haines actually becomes Zimmerman and the entrance is at the end of Dakota, at Zimmerman. The name is accurate, it is like a small urban forest. The fenced, off-leash
area is double gated and there aren't as many trees inside the fence. Bring your
own water after October, they remove the valve at that time as the pipes freeze
and you can't get water there during the winter months. I forgot to bring my
camera or I'd include pictures. Dogs do tend to get "goatheads" (stickers) in
their paws there, so if your dog starts limping, that's why. (Thank you Deanna Fellman)

Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Human
Society. Two large FENCED
areas on the site of the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society: This is
a little known off-leash area in Santa Fe offering 2 separate fenced areas
for dogs. Because it is still unknown to many in Santa Fe, you may find that
you and your dog(s) are the only ones there, so if you are looking for a
place for playtime/socialization with other dogs, this might not be right
for you. But, it is a great option for those in Santa Fe who want a FENCED
area for off-leash play, as the more popular dog park in Santa Fe is not
enclosed. Two parks are offered - one is for small/shy dogs, one for larger
dogs. Water, benches, and waste containers are provided. Rules are posted -
dogs must be licensed and current on shots, etc. Location: 100 Caja del Rio
Road, Santa Fe, NM 87507 at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society.
(Thank you Laurie Bartolo)
