Description

If you're looking for a peaceful place to sit or take a quiet stroll, go over to the University of New Mexico campus and enjoy the Duck Pond and bridge, surrounded by serene walking paths. The grassy hills and big boulders make for great rest areas along with several perfect niches to study, read, contemplate, or just kill time at. Ducks, chicks and swans float about this haven year round and are unafraid to waddle up to people for a prospective bread crumb. Through the years this oasis has become a choice spot for photographers to take pictures of weddings, models, families and high school seniors. Open dawn until dark seven days a week.
