It's accessible, close to the city centre and the paved walkway makes it easy for all to enjoy. We visited Hillside Park, as it was recommended by a local. It's not a very long or steep walk at all. The walkway is paved with railings and a few steps. Once at the top you can see the Cross of the Martyrs and views of Santa Fe. That's in itself a reason to visit. But what I liked most about Hillside Park is the historical plaques along the walkway, detailing the founding of Santa Fe from its first settlers to when it became a part of the United States and New Mexico today. It is also the historic sight of Fort Marcy, a military reservation in the mid-1800's when U.S. declared war on Mexico. With this trail you can see more informational signs about the war and fort. I would definitely recommend for visitors in Santa Fe to check out Hillside Park, not only for its city views but to learn about the city's history and its significance in the U.S. So glad we came here!

There are visible signs of consternation on some of the plaques that this recently built park makes no mention of the atrocities that lead to the uprising. Nonetheless, I found the one sided history laid out in the plaques to be educational because it made me look up people and the events.

Also a unique series of nicely landscaped trails with plenty of benches. Big grassy areas for picnic, and several tables as well. Well done! The parking lot was a bit hard to find. It's on a short narrow road - Callejon- off of Paseo de Peralta. It's a small road, easily missed. It's like an alley behind a big building, parallel to the railroad tracks. If you miss it, turn into Camino de la Familia (next turn onto another small road but more visible) - there is a paid lot there with access to the park. Both my dog and I enjoyed this park!

Some of the slides are literally gone, while others could not be used because the ground is too far from the bottoms.

All of the rope climbing stuff looks cool, but my kids are kind of young for that.

It's small and you will be done in an hour at absolute most if you go really slow and take your time. The garden itself is beautiful, but for how large it is and the time you'll spend here it's not worth it. It is neat to see plants native to New Mexico here. Staff was friendly, and the gift shop had some cute things in it. Only porter potty bathrooms here. Located right by the other museums, so its a cool stop if you are in the area but honestly I'd say skip it and just walk around the museum plaza area instead.

That hike definitely is not for the faint of heart and pushed my limits at the top (you are high and it seems scary) but it is one of my most memorable hikes all around for the scenery and unique experience. A must visit! For those who don't to do the ladder hike, you can still walk to the bottom of it and look up and get a good view. So there is something for all levels here. The scenery is gorgeous. It does get windy here sometimes (we had a lot of wind blasting us as we were climbing the ladders) so be careful and be prepared for that. The nature all around is beautiful. Additionally, there are some tables so you could bring a picnic. Staff in the visitor center is very friendly and has lots of great recommendations of what to do here or nearby. A must do!

Why can't you religious folk just call everything a church? Either way, the cathedral is beautiful and well worth the walk around it. I posted pictures of the crucifixion statues. It's in an enclosed area which I think is technically considered part of Cathedral Park... it's just on the other side of the Cathedral. I suppose it's a cool green space with statues and benches around. We were there early in the morning and there was a guy cleaning the grounds. He was friendly. While it's cool, there really isn't anything here to invite you to stay a while. If you're in Santa Fe and you need to kill time, walk through here. Check it out.
