About the Venue

Officer Daniel Webster Memorial Children's Park is one of the clearest inclusive-play destinations in Albuquerque. The City of Albuquerque describes it as a fully integrated space where children of all abilities can play side by side, and recent upgrades added a large inclusive playground, gathering plaza, climbing features, and terrain-inspired play elements. City materials also note additional inclusive improvements underway, including an inclusive wheelchair-use basketball court, a nature-based play zone, and a tot lot for younger children. This is a strong choice for families wanting a destination-style park rather than a basic neighborhood stop.
