They have a kitchen, a pretty good sized jungle gym, dress up area with plenty of accessories just to name a few things. I felt the overall space was very clean (which I feel is important). The staff cleans in-between playtimes as well. They even have an area to sit and have a snack before or after your session. Overall, this is a great place to take your kiddos/meet mom friends, especially if you are itching to get out of the house.

Lots of fun toys to play with and the little indoor play set, slides climbing wall etc. So nice when the weather outside is too cold or raining to be outside it's a great way to get that toddler energy out. They are also only a few doors down from Bristol donuts so what's not to love, coffee donuts, and play area! They do also have coffee and an assortment of snacks that you can purchase as well! We have always had such a wonderful time and I will be sad when he ages out. So do keep in mind it only goes up to age 5 I believe. Highly recommend!

It was a lovely sight, all the dancers in unison. Spreading their light and life to others through the dance. A warm presence was felt. Instructor Sara Lowry is a force to be followed. She so patiently instructs her students and they flow. If you have been wanting to learn a new dance, they are gearing up for a new class in January 2023. The JCC is always clean. Staff so kind and professional.

I live close by in the North Valley and my dog and I walk down here at least twice a week, make the loop and walk back up the Albuquerque Drain Trail home. What a great facility. It's the terminus of the "jewel in the crown" ABQ Open Space Bike trail, has an excellent parking lot and you can walk or bike from here in four directions on trails that take you all over the Alameda and Corrales Rio Grande Open Space. the trees, the plants, the two ponds and the trails are excellent. My dog, Sophie, also gives it a five-star rating as well. I last week photographed fruit blossoms there and have photographed birds as well. Love it here!

This is a perfect spring or summer spot for a late afternoon picnic. There are picnic tables, a playground and plenty of trees for shades.

I did grow up with humidity but we kids didn't have to rely on fire hydrants, I could go swimmin' in many of the 10,000 lakes. Anyway, when I'd see those pictures, I always wondered why the kids looked like they were having so much dang fun. It's just a fire hydrant on blacktop, for God's sake. Now I get it. Now that my kiddo loves it, I get it. Spray parks are totally carefree, mom and dad don't need to do much monitoring, and they're a way to simultaneously stay hot and cool, as opposed to the cool down/warm up routine of a pool. This is a terrific spray park with capacity for easily 40 or 50 kids, I'd guess, and it's a terrific way low-cost alternative venue for birthday parties. Lifeguards around here seem to have just one responsibility: (blows whistle) "No running!" Tough job, guys.

However, the fee was only a few dollars (3) for my 1 and 3 year old and there are friendly lifeguards on duty. There are two restrooms and two shower stalls. I'd suggest wearing your suit to the park. There isn't really a great place to change. The building is older and looks a bit run down. You are able to bring in snacks and /or a cooler. The spray park is on a small slab of concrete. There are 6 water features and about a dozen covered picnic tables around the perimeter. I really enjoyed this enclosed park. It was small enough to watch my daughters splash and splash from my shaded seat. I like splash parks because they are more relaxing than taking little kids to the pool (less worry) and the kiddos have just as much fun. My family will definitely make this a regular activity. Behind the splash pad is a park with a full basketball park, baseball field and what looks like a petting zoo (?) that you can see from behind the fence. There are painted murals as well.

This group of talented people had an newbie orientation and Roller derby being something on my "must do" list, I gave it a shot. I knew very little about the sport and my skating skills are rusty at best but they are motivating and helpful.

I am smitten by the roller derby world and you will too.
