The Bachechi Open Space Park is one of Albuquerque, New Mexico's most popular destinations for pedestrians, bicyclists, hikers, equestrians, and nature lovers. This 27-acre gem serves as the northern entrance to the Bosque multi-use trail and the Rio Grande Valley State Park. Bachechi Open Space Park features a native plant urban forest, wildlife viewing stations, picnic areas, a historic pecan orchard, and hiking trails. Furthermore, roof water from the Environmental Education building drains to above- ground cisterns for irrigation of the surrounding landscapes, making the space functional, responsible, and visually appealing. A wetland boardwalk, a working arboretum, and a memorial to the property's original owners are also included in the Bachechi Open Space Park.
