Academy Hills Park pairs everyday convenience with foothill scenery on the east side of Albuquerque. The namesake green space draws joggers, families, and four-legged friends to its open lawns and shady play areas; it also puts you minutes from trailheads that climb into the Sandia Foothills Open Space and the picnic spots and overlook views at Elena Gallegos Open Space. For everyday recreation and park discovery across the city, the official Park Finder is handy for sites like Academy Hills Park (search via the Parks & Recreation Park Finder).
Families appreciate strong public school options. The area is served by Albuquerque Public Schools, including John Baker Elementary, Eisenhower Middle School, and Eldorado High School. The nearby Juan Tabo Library hosts story times, study spaces, and community programs, while cyclists can tap into miles of paved paths via the city’s Bikeways & Trails network.
Day-to-day errands come easy with grocers, cafés, and services along Academy, Eubank, and Juan Tabo. Commuters value quick connections to Tramway Boulevard and Paseo del Norte, and weekend adventurers can be on the trail within minutes. Adjacent neighborhoods such as Tanoan and Holiday Park offer additional parks and amenities, all within Bernalillo County.
