El Oso Grande Park Updates

 

Our El Oso Grande Park is beautiful  anytime of the year.  The Oso Grande Neighborhood Association (OGNA) takes great pride in ensuring that the grass stays green and the new trees in the perimeter are thriving at El Oso Grande Park.  Occasionally there have been some issues with Park maintenance but due to OGNA advocacy and the great response of the City Parks Department the issues are quickly addressed.

February 11, 2024  Park Update:
The City has upgraded the two Handicapped/Disability parking spaces on Osuna Rd. by widening the approach and providing proper concrete slopes as well as painting road designations and official signage.   An ADA compliant 3-sided picnic table with a metal overhead shade will be embedded in cement near the Children’s Play area and a new water fountain will be installed.  Also 3 more Solar lights will be installed along Osuna Rd.  It is anticipated that this work will be complete by Summer 2024.  Thank you Councilor Champine for your assistance with all of these projects.

Installation of Solar Lights

OGNA members advocated our previous City Councilor Trudy Jones, as well as the current City Councilor Dan Champine and the Parks and Recreation Department for new Solar Lights to be placed around the Park for the safety and security of the public.  These new lights provide low lighting via motion activation.   The new lights are being placed in the park right of way along Osuna Rd, Morris and near the Children’s Play area.  The Parks and Recreation Dept received funding for the solar lights through the NM State Capital Outlay program.  OGNA is very appreciative of the City’s support.   See the photos below.
