The Parks, Recreation, & Cultural Affairs department of the City of Farmington, New Mexico is the second largest department within the city and consists of 17 facilities, 25 athletic fields, and over 50 parks and open spaces. We are dedicated to providing engaging spaces, places, and activities that inspire our residents and visitors to create memorable experiences.  We embrace the motto of "Be Active" to encourage everyone to take part in our community.


As New Mexico’s only accredited agency through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA), we support the National Recreation & Parks Association pillars by: 

  • Leading our community to Health & Wellness through parks and recreation.
  • Protecting open space, connecting children to nature, and engaging our community in Conservation practices.
  • Ensuring Social Equity, so all people have access to the benefits of local parks and recreation.
