Unfortunately Earth Day events organized by the Railyard Park Conservancy have been cancelled due to restrictions on gathering during the COVID-19 pandemic.
You are strongly encouraged to practice safe social distancing and other protective measures in all of your outdoor activities!
Through the end of April, please consider taking this nine-mile community bicycle ride celebrating Earth Day 2020 on your own time, visiting trails, parks, and mellow streets along the Acequia Madre and the Santa Fe River, and using some slightly busier roads with bike lanes to complete the connection between these two life-giving waterways.
This ride is intended to begin and end at the Railyard Park, with a half-time turnaround (or optional mid-way starting point) at Meow Wolf at 1352 Rufina Circle. But for self-guided riders, the route can be joined any time and anywhere along the acequia or river along the way.
