The Rio Grande Nature Center State Park is located at the western end of Candelaria Road NW in the Alvarado Gardens Neighborhood. The park is managed by the State Parks Division through a lease with the landowner, the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division. The City manages the adjacent Candelaria Farms and Rio Grande Valley State Park. There is a vast number of public and private partners involved in park operations, education, and research programs.
