McDuffie Park

What’s not to like? a Hidden park, with nice trees, and a «Little Free Library».

Well worth the search, this park is elusive and calming. I have never experienced such amazing quiet.
It did remind me a little bit of Venice canals.
loved this place.
we’ll be back fo sho

Okay people, like, I get the whole nostalgia thing, but five stars for Hidden Park?
I, too, have fond memories of this little green patch in the center of an otherwise completely bland residential neighborhood. My memories surround college, I lived in a house around the corner. Hidden Park-​er, McDuffie Park-​was a great place to walk the dog, relax in the shade or make out with someone I’d just met on a starry night. College, you know.
Hoping to reclaim a little of that lost innocence, I recently chose to picnic here with my mother, family and an overpriced bag of take-​out from Whole Foods. It was astonishing how Hidden the place really was; I swore I’d be able to find the little path to get in, but I couldn’t remember where it was and, as I had a decade back, I asked a neighbor.
We enjoyed ourselves. it was fun to sit on a blanket under an elm tree and enjoy an Albuquerque evening. But the place doesn’t have a playground, people. No paths, no facilities, it’s just a big square patch of grass. Getting a little generous with our stars, aren’t we?

Hands down the most secluded and intimate park in Albuquerque. Bike there, picnic there, nap there. We need more parks like this.

Another great park in a great neighborhood. It’s called hidden park by many and rightfully so because you would never know it was there. Hidden park is a quiet park with plenty if trees and shade to escape.

This is my favorite city park. I love to just lay on a blanket and read. The trees make is lovely and shady. I always called it Hidden Park, and I lived in the neighborhood as a kid, so I have been enjoying it over 30 years.

The city of Albuquerque (and the sign) say that this is McDuffie Park. However, locals know it as «Hidden Park»…and for good reason.
This is an awesome place to get some alone time and feel kinda like you’re in Narnia. You can’t park in a parking lot and roll right up. You have to park right outside someone’s house and then look for a small path that leads to the hidden cache of green and shade. When you’re there, you can’t see any streets (or people usually); It is completely surrounded by peoples’ back yard walls.
I have a special love for this park because my husband took me on our first date so that we could have some peace and quiet to chat. Nine months later, he proposed at Hidden Park.
