Grants Awarded
The Juniper Basin Recreation Area will provide a 93-acre space in northern Farmington for nonmotorized recreation, featuring professionally designed multi-skill bike trails and open space connectivity with Lake Farmington and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) bike trails. By offering diverse recreational opportunities, this project aims to enhance community wellness and promote outdoor activities for people of all skill levels.
Farmington is collaborating with Spohn Ranch skate park designers to revamp a 24,000 square-foot community skatepark, creating a safe and engaging facility for skaters of all ages and skill levels. The redesign will feature adaptable amenities, lighting, and spectator areas, ultimately benefiting both participants and the local community through enhanced recreational opportunities and fostering social interaction. Once completed, it will be the largest skate park in the Four Corners region.
The City of Farmington is a municipality of 46,000+ residents located in the Northwest corner of New Mexico. Nestled in the “4-Corners”, we serve as the economic, commercial, and recreation hub for the 4-state region. Providing services and amenities for nearly 300,000 residents, our community has far-reaching regional impact. As a part of this, we have made outdoor recreation one of our primary mission scopes, launching the Outdoor Recreation Industry Initiative (ORII) and likewise establishing the Community Transformation and Economic Diversification (CTED) fund to help build amenities, catalyze businesses, and keep Farmington looking its best.
