The City of Albuquerque host a ribbon cutting celebrating the completion of Phase 1 improvements at the San Antonio Oxbow Bluffs Open Space.

The event will highlight the journey of this special property from a proposed development into protected public open space, and recognize the community partnerships and conservation efforts that helped make the project possible. The San Antonio Oxbow Bluffs (SAOB) Open Space has always been important wildlife habitat. Now, it also has new public amenities and offers opportunities for environmental education and outdoor recreation.

In addition to the grand opening, the City will be honoring the contributions of several community leaders who played significant roles in the protection of SAOB and the City’s Open Space system overall, including: the late Suzanne Poole, a previous owner of the SAOB property; the late Dr. Joe Valles, a community leader and West Side advocate; and Rex Funk, the first Open Space Superintendent, who helped lead protection of the San Antonio Oxbow wetlands and other significant Open Space properties.

The event will include a guided walk of the site, with Open Space staff and partners available to answer questions and provide additional information as well as a community celebration featuring music from Los Trinos, activities, and light snacks and refreshments.
