Mountainair Community Park

Localed on Cedar, Mountainair's northernmost street, running from open fields on the east side to and crossing NM 55 on the west, our Community Park has a covered pavilion with concession area and tables, tennis courts, basketball court, and playground. The Firecracker Jubilee used to be held there before its recent move the "Mountainair Activity Complex" ~ still more often called campgrounds (after first incarnation as the church camp everyone grew up with) by some and The White Elephant by others. 


The park, still serviceable and holding a place in local memory, has been neglected and is in need of ongoing maintenance and upgrading, "remodeling" as I've read in articles about parks and playgrounds. Fortunately for Mountainair and the park, help is on the way. Newly elected town councilman Jeremy LaJeunesse, along with Dennis Fulfer and Lenora Romero, will be coordinating the park project - canvassing the community for input, drawing up plans, looking for funding. Canvassing is taking place on Jeremy's Facebook profile. I'll be adding a Wall for you to write your ideas on and posting links and embedding the wall every place on line that I can.

Ideas so far include: skateboard park, tagging wall, bringing tennis and basketball courts back into to use, expanding the playground, canopy covered areas with tables and benches, BBQ stations, a stage for performances, and more.
