Alamosa in Albuquerque, NM

Alamosa sits on Albuquerque's Southwest Mesa, west of the Rio Grande and about half a mile south of Central Avenue, on the far side of Coors Boulevard. Its anchor is the Alamosa Center on Gonzales SW, one building holding a community center with a full-size gymnasium, fitness room, computer lab and game room, a branch of the public library, and city health and social service offices. The adjoining park carries a spray pad and a 35,000-square-foot skate park, which the city calls the largest in the Southwest.

The Alamosa Neighborhood Association works with the city on the park and meets at the center.

City planning maps place the neighborhood in the Southwest Mesa area, which stretches from I-40 south to Dennis Chavez Boulevard and from the western city limit east to Coors Boulevard.
