Farmington City Parks
There
are numerous recreational facilities in the city. For information
call (505) 599-1400.
River Corridor: Nearly five miles of multi-purpose trails
and recreation areas can be accessed from two locations: off Browning
Parkway south of the Animas River, and at Scott Avenue and San Juan
Boulevard, near many of the major hotels. The river parks are a perfect
place to take a leisurely walk along the riverside trails or wander
through an informative self-guided wilderness tour along the nature
trails. The Woodland trails are ideal for jogging and bicycling.
Two pedestrian bridge crossings and several observation areas provide
many opportunities to view the river's wildlife, including bird watching.
A picnic area complete with grills is also available.
Brookside Park: Southwest corner of Dustin and 20th Streets,
includes swimming pool, picnic tables, basketball court, skateboard
bowl, playground and restrooms.
Civitan Park: Between Dustin and Butler Avenues north
of 20th Street, picnic tables, playground, and a shelter with restrooms.
Four Corners Vietnam Memorial Wall: North Butler at Carlton
Street. This Memorial Wall is unique in that it honors not only those
who were killed or missing in action, but also pays homage to those
Four Corners Area veterans who served during the Vietnam War. Inscriptions
on black granite honor soldiers missing or killed in action, while
similar inscriptions on brick honor living veterans. The qualifying
areas for representation on The Wall are Apache County, AZ, Montezuma
and La Plata Counties, CO, San Juan and McKinley Counties, NM, and
San Juan County, UT.
