The Bosque & the BioPark
The Rio Grande runs through the middle of Albuquerque in a ribbon of cottonwood forest called the bosque. Trails, a nature center, the ABQ BioPark and Tingley Beach all sit along it.

A bosque is a forest along a river. The middle Rio Grande bosque stretches about 300 miles, and more than 270 bird species have been counted in Albuquerque’s part of it. (Wikipedia)
The Rio Grande Nature Center State Park, a 38-acre preserve opened in 1982, has ponds, viewing blinds and a visitor center designed by the architect Antoine Predock. (Wikipedia)
The ABQ BioPark combines a zoo, an aquarium, a botanic garden and Tingley Beach, a fishing and model-boating area built in the 1930s, and it sees about 1.5 million visitors a year. (Wikipedia, Wikipedia)
