Sister City Park is beautiful, fun, welcoming, and overall a well-kept place. When you first travel here you are immediately met with a sign representing why this park was built. In this photo you can see that this sign is referencing all of Albuquerque's sister cities, Alburquerque, Spain, Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, Chihuahua, Mexico, Guadalajara, México, Helmstedt, Germany, Hualien, Taiwan, Lanzhou, China, and Lusaka, Zambia. All these places are called our sister cities because of the relationship we have with them. The relationships we have with these cities are formed when officials or someone with assigned importance from Albuquerque and a community in another country or territory sign a formal agreement on behalf of their communities, creating a “sister city” relationship. If you like long open fields, a playground for you or your kids, a tennis court, or just a picnic table, Sister Cities has you covered. With over 3 acres of soft grass and beautiful trees surrounding it, Sister Cities Park is an amazing place to go with your family and friends. I know that I have enjoyed coming here over the years, whether it's playing soccer with my brother or playing football on thanksgiving morning, this park has always been an amazing place to go for taking a break and to take my mind off of things.

I ended up in this park after 311 City information gave me some bad information once again. I had called 311 Albuquerque City information and hopes of getting more detailed information about Playgrounds with a rather large play structure for the children to climb and play on. I was told I have another Park, but upon arriving sound at this park was closed. Not only was it closed but there was no play structure whatsoever on site. I think that lady was not 2 informed on how to read the information on her computer screen. I ask Google Assistant to give me some information on other parks, and we ended up at this one. We had a really nice picnic at one of the picnic table areas. I brought my small backpacking stove along with my little cast iron skillet. We had a marvelous picnic with fried hot dog grilled cheese sandwiches. The children ate, ran and played, and we all had a very good time. The park seem to be pretty clean. The people that were also showing the park with us seem to be of an agreeable nature. The people in the area are friendly. It was very nice to take my children out to a park, and not get bothered by some transient for money, cigarettes, or if I knew where the drugs were. I would highly recommend a family visit this park. I hope you have as much fun as we did.

Well......I remember it as Harper. Park. It was originally a field with a sign that read that a church was gonna be built there. This was before Academy Acres was finished. Walking home from school. Arroyo del Oso, we witnessed the park being constructed. Friends and I were the first to use the playground. Anyway.....it's still a GREAT park. Plenty of shade with the trees placed perfectly on the perimeter. Big open space in the middle. Tennis courts are in great shape and the playground looks brand new with nice, clean sand. Love this park. Great for a family to enjoy. Go check it out. Well maintained.

Good place to have a picnic in the shade. Too bad there are only 2 tables. But u was glad we had a blanket to sit o .
Playground
Minimal equipment to play on. I think park was designed for soccer or tail rather than for the neighborhood to enjoy. Such a shame.
Restrooms
NONE.
Dog-friendliness
As long as it is only the perimeter not their special soccer of yafl field or tennis courts
Picnic area
Bring your own blanket. There are only 2 tables

Was not great. Several sink holes, grass mowed over tall, grandson fell when his foot went in. Standing in the area, grass was knee deep on a 5 yr old. Picnic table had standing water underneath, but we've had no rain in weeks. Puncture vine and sand burr around the play area. Grandson had burrs on his butt when he fell. Do not recommend for young kids.
Playground
Nice play structure, but sand burr grass and goat heads around.
Restrooms
None

This park has great shade trees, tennis courts, a playground, and soccer field. Usually populated by family picnics, an couple professionals eating lunch, and on the weekend young people's soccer leagues. There are two picnic tables and a couple benches, and the lawn is kept plentiful well enough for good blanket picnicking as well. I spent probably a hundred lunches here over the past year and enjoy it greatly.

The park is clean and not littered with trash like other parks in this city it has a playground and ab tennis court and a good enough open area for pets but it doesn't have any fencing so if your pet likes to run off he sure to have it on a leash as people in albuquerque drive erratically and most times don't pay attention to their surroundings when driving but that depends on the person driving as well

It's very smooth very soothing very comfortable to go to the sister cities for especially during lunch hour because a lot of people pull up park right there sister cities Park on Harper and McKinney and just have lunch and there's park benches there and there's a lot of grass I just made of what type of whether it is it's always nice and green there funny people to very safe

I love coming to this park! It's well maintained and cared for. There were a number of kids playing, people playing on the courts and several people relaxing in the grass. Even with all the people, I still had my own space to kick back and enjoy the beautiful weather. If you're looking for a nice park to enjoy, this is a great place to go.

Large playground area for the kids. Multiple tennis courts that are in really good condition. A large green area that would be great for a game of tag, or touch football. A few picnic tables and park benches, and plenty of shade trees to escape the heat of the New Mexico sun. Definitely, a nice stop to break up the monotony of life!

We had a picnic in the park. The grass was soft and wonderful to walk barefoot on. The green space was large and many parts of it have trees and shade. We saw an exercise class taking place. We saw families walking around and playing on the playground. We saw others picnicing. The birdsong was beautiful ❤️. We will be going back.

I live pretty close to this Park me and my kids really like it.. There's a tennis court, lots of open space, so either you can play tennis or play soccer, run around do your exercises. whatever you want last time we went we brought kites.Also in a good neighborhood and never any violence or criminal activity of any kind

Had a wonderful day with my kids at the park!!! For 2pm on a Saturday,not too busy at all!! There were a group of kids playing football! A few other parents with kids older than mine playing on the equipment. Everyone in the park had smiles and were having fun!!! Will definitely be returning!!

Cute simple park, mostly appropriate to call this a green space with a small child park and tennis courts.
Playground
Simple, bounder aged play equipment.
Dog-friendliness
Not much to say. There is grass. Not a dog park.
Picnic area
No tables, but there is grass.

Nice stop off of I25, medium size playground with lots of climbing equipment, plenty of open grass for sports, 4 fenced in concrete tennis courts and lots of trees for shade with tables. A long walkway goes around and through the park, great for everyone.

Small park with a playground and a few picnic tables. Downside is no parking lot and you have to park on the street. Not shaded except for the trees. It was pretty clean but the benches are falling apart and the playground floor needs to be redone.

Calm and clean park. There are lot of big trees for shade. The playground is in good condition for the kids to play. The tennis court is in good condition as well. There are two benches and one picnic table. There is no water fountain or restroom.

Nice small park. There's a tennis court, park to walk the dog or play some sports, and the little play area for the kids. Could use some more swings and little bit of maintenance, but other than that it's a good place to take your little ones.

Very nice open grassy space. Great vibe of a neighborhood park. Playground for the kids and tennis courts. Shade trees and grass. The only parking is along the roadway. Plenty of trash cans but I did not notice a public restroom.

Really open park that's not crowded with benches or extra flair allowing plenty of space to play catch, fetch or just lay down with a blanket on the grass and slow down. Good views and and another great park in the city

Had a party for my sister she would have been 53 years old. All the family was there was a good time
Playground
Little playground but alot of grass for playing and running around
Restrooms
No bathroom

Drove past this park plenty of times. Finally got the chance to take my baby boy here. As we walk up there's homeless people living in the play area. We turned right around, will not bother coming back here again.

Nice clean playground area and lots of grass area for a few small groups to play Soccer or kick ball. It's in a nice area. They should put more sitting areas near the pay ground is the only issue I have.

Very basic park--grass, nice trees and a play structure. No information about the sister cities, just the organization. We went there to take a picture with a Sasebo sign while we were driving through.

Very spacious and now with covid social distancing perfect place to pull to the curb get out n see a diversity of people all with masks on trying to stay active while this gets all good again.

Nice little neighborhood park. Tennis courts, large enough open space for soccer and a great playground for kids. A nice place for family get togethers for birthday's and other celebrations.

Small light tan male young dog, possible Corgi mix, with black collar,no tags running in park tonight. Would come close to small dogs and food but I could not catch.311 called. …

Great for my kids aged 4, 3, and 1. However, some trash was in the playground. Baby picked up a cigarette! Also some homeless people sleeping under trees, but not bothering anybody.

Beautiful park. Fluffy grass. Lots of shade. Ball carts n playground. Picnic tables. I dont recall any grill or Ramada. I enjoyed my time at this park for a quick lunch picnic.solo

It's a very nice park. A good place to take children to play. Isolated from any negativity that lurks about anywhere else in the city. A place to feel at ease with little worry.

Nice park. Although there have been a couple homeless people hanging around lately. Make sure you call 242cops if you see them. Let's keep the park safe for our kids …

Nice neighborhood park with lots of grass and trees. Good playground for kids (equipment is best for ages 5+). Tennis courts. A few picnic tables. Parking is on street.

It's a very clean Park they maintain it very well it's a safe place I like to bring my kids and when I like to get away from people I like to go there and to meditate

Nice, small neighborhood park with a small children's playground an d a few tennis courts. Usually pretty clean, though the fee trash receptacles overflow at times.

We love this park. The big slide is fast and fun, there's monkey bars and a swing. The park itself is big and shady, I've seen people have birthday parties there.

Great place to spend with family, enjoying a picnic, on a beautiful sunny day. Lots of space to social distance and plenty of play area for the kids to enjoy.

So many great experiences. So many challenges and obstacles over come. My son rode his bicycle for the first time without training wheels. For an example.

Having my grandsons birthday party here! It's perfect for a water themed party and it's not overly huge.. also walking distance from my home.

My daughter loves this park even though I think the large slide is scary. It's a great place. Usually pretty clean. Lots of kids in sports.

I love this park! Great environment, always full of friendly people. Lots of shade and a great playground. Nestled in a great neighborhood.

Nice park in a nice area. Not real big and playground was "kind of boring" my 3yr old son said lol. I'll say it's okay could b better tho.

Very clean and nice little park.. We are loving NM and stopped here to take our dog for a little walk before going back home to Tijeras.

It was a nice day and it was warm out so I found myself sitting and enjoying the weather while watching the kids play on the playground.

It was peaceful. But be careful of some stray homeless people my friend and I had to chase off some man trying to talk to children.

Very nice. Grandson and great grand kids enjoyed the time and equipment. We saw a young man picking up trash. Well maintained.

Cool place like a wide-open field that you can use me and my co-workers played Ultimate Frisbee and there is plenty of room.

Park was clean, playground equipment was in good shape except for the climbing nets were worn to the cables on some parts.

Nice small park with small playground, tennis courts, some tables, and good shade trees. Would be perfect for a birthday.

Good neighborhood park with tennis courts and playground. Good shade from trees and open grass area to play some sports.

Great local park. Very well kept (& well used) tennis courts and most dog parents seem to pick up after their pup(s).

Safe and fun for the kids. Love that its far enough back from the road that you dont have to worry about the traffic.

Really good for kids to run around and great that the slide area is covered (otherwise they are too hot to play on).

Pretty cool park, somewhat smaller but with some fun playground equipment and some nice shaded areas for a picnic.

One of my favorite parks close with a Pokestop. Tennis courts and a playground if you're looking for that as well.

What a beautiful park. I have driven by it my whole life, but hadn't stopped to get down. It's so nice …

A nice community park with Tables, Benches, Tennis Courts and a play area for kids. Nice grass and shade trees.

Grass was very high ,there was a homeless sitting at bench i brought my kids there i didn't feel safe at all.

Me and my kids love this park big open field and playground for play. Safe neighborhood and good environment.

Such a nice park. Lots of people walking around the park & no trash just lying around. Well maintained.

Good park for kids 4 and up. Smaller babies need to be watched closer play area is high from ground.
