NNVNA encourages you to attend this public meeting about the future of 4-H Park.  The park is at 1400 Menaul Blvd NW, just west of 12th Street.  

Work on reimagining 4-H Park started in 2021 during the nationwide discussion about Canadian and American Indian boarding schools and cemeteries, and the increased local awareness that a plaque in 4-H Park commemorating the “Albuquerque Indian School Cemetery” (located at the east end of the park) was missing.  

City Parks & Recreation Department Director Dave Simon in a Feb 15, 2025, email notice for the Feb 19, 2025, meeting sent to Near North Valley Neighborhood Association, stated:  

“The City’s goal is that this new plan better reflects the history and significance of the area, including accurately and respectfully acknowledging the Native American history associated with it and the sacred burial area within the park, while also maintaining the park as an important space for community use.”
