San Antonio Oxbow Bluffs (SAOB) is a 23-acre property located at 5001 Namaste RD NW. The property was purchased from the Poole family in Spring of 2021 by the City of Albuquerque’s Open Space Division (OSD) with assistance from the State of New Mexico. In fall 2021, the OSD provided several walking tours and community listening sessions to obtain feedback about how the community would like to utilize the property. The OSD will begin next phases in the planning process in the coming months.

Next steps for the property include obtaining aerial imagery in order to develop a potential plan for the site. Aerial imagery will help the OSD and design consultant to understand existing features and topography, aiding in the development of the schematic design. A project website will be created to provide access to the design options and provide more information to the community throughout the design process.

The OSD values input from the community and we encourage you to stay actively involved throughout the planning process.
