Park has all kinds of family recreation areas as well as courts for team sports. Beautiful mature trees and lots of green grass. The cemetery portion was the draw for us as we are history buffs. All is well maintained and very accessable for everyone More

We always stop here to walk our dog, lots of trails with trees, green grass and clean up bags available. Lots of other dogs to check out. For non-doggie visitors, there is the great Taos vibe, and the old cemetery with Kit Carson's grave. Park behind the theater building for puppy shade. More

A lot of famous people buried in this park. Plenty to do and see. Benches to sit on or bring your kids to the playground. I recommend this park if you come to Taos. More
