Loma del Norte in Albuquerque, NM

Loma del Norte is an established single-family subdivision in Albuquerque's Northeast Heights, along the Wyoming Boulevard corridor in the 87109 ZIP code. Part of it is platted under the Dale Bellamah name. Loma del Norte Park sits where the neighborhood's namesake road meets Wyoming: a city green space with a half-mile concrete trail, sports fields, ball courts and a playground under shade trees. There are no association dues, no gate and no age restriction, and ABQ Ride Route 31 stops within a tenth of a mile of the park.

The park's loop belongs to the city's Prescription Trails program, which rates it level and easy: four to six feet of concrete, no stairs, and open sightlines across the fields. Parking is on the street, and the park has no public restrooms.

A little to the north, the North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center adds an amphitheater, a gymnasium and a climbing wall, along with classrooms and a multipurpose room the city rents out.
