Young Park Master Plan

Located at 850 South Walnut Street, Young Park is one of Las Cruces’ most cherished public spaces. With its scenic pond, inclusive playgrounds, and paved loop trail, it serves as a vibrant hub for outdoor recreation and community gatherings. The park offers a variety of amenities, including picnic shelters, benches, restrooms, tennis courts, and a duck pond stocked with catfish for fishing, making it a beloved destination for residents of all ages.

Why a Master Plan?

As Las Cruces continues to grow and change, so do the needs and expectations of its residents. To ensure Young Park remains a welcoming, safe, and inclusive space, the City is developing a new master plan that builds on recent improvements while setting a vision for the park’s future. The Young Park Master Plan is an opportunity to respond to these needs through a collaborative process. As part of the plan, the City is conducting a round of community engagement to better understand how residents use the park, what challenges they face, and what improvements would make the space even more meaningful. Together, we can create a park that reflects the community’s values and supports well-being for generations to come!
