A Word About McDuffie Park (Hidden Park)

The characteristics of McDuffie Park, or what has been affectionately been known as Hidden Park, has given generations of Albuquerque citizens enjoyment and a sense of community identify. The charm of this unique park is well-known, but has steadily gained popularity over the years. Social media and increased awareness to the benefits of being outdoors is undoubtedly a factor. There has been much interest and debate, especially among neighbors, regarding dogs in the park, and whether or not the park should be, in whole or in part, an off-leash dog park. The Parks and Recreation Department has received a large amount of input on this question and overwhelmingly (5:1), the public is commented against any type of off-leash dog park. Part(s) of the park or any hours of the park to have designation for an off-leash dog park would be unsustainable and extremely difficult to enforce. The impacts would also be significant. The wise maxim of “primum non nocere” or “first do no harm” would be the best course for the park. Dogs are, of course, still welcome in the park! PRD asks the public to continue to respect fellow park users and abide by current City Ordinances. All established law is enforceable by City law enforcement. It is the best way to maintain the health, safety, and welfare of this beloved City destination. Parks and Recreation Department, City of Albuquerque, 4.16.26
