You're invited to join the Parks and Recreation team for the final Full Moon Night of the 2026 season at White Sands National Park, taking place on Sunday, October 25th. This exceptional event promises breathtaking views of the mountains, white sand, and celestial bodies. We will provide handicap/wheelchair accessible transportation, and kindly remind you that no alcohol is permitted. You're welcome to bring personal items such as chairs, blankets, and small coolers. Our convoy will depart from the Ruidoso Community Center parking lot (adjacent to the public swimming pool) at 1pm and return around 8pm. The registration fee covers transportation to and from the park, as well as the entry fee. Please dress appropriately, as the temperature will drop significantly after sunset. To secure your spot, register at ruidosoparksandrec.com; if you don't have an account, you'll need to create one. For any inquiries, please contact our office at (575)257-5030, Monday through Friday, between 8am and 4:30pm.
