Reviews of University of New Mexico Duck Pond (Park)

Florencia Asbury

This area is great for a variety of things. When I go to the duck pond there is so much going on. It's amazing! It's also calming and soothing. You make it what you want.

Harry Holloway

really pleasant, and inviting.

Christian Denny

It's a nice place to hang out during the day. There are always interesting things going on there. Can attract sketchy people and be dangerous at night.

Always a good time just don't drink the water

Alex C

Beautiful campus with plenty of plants life, art, and even a duck pond. The sub has a food court with many different food choices and also sports a nusenda credit union downstairs. Several high caliber museums are present on campus as well as a performing arts venu named popejoy haul. The vibe is open and bright with all the college students a'buzz a must see if your in the nob hill area. There is plenty to do just off of campus as well and sits just across the street from unmh, new mexicos only trauma center.

Noah Chacon

Alright, what have I got for the duck pond? 1.) don't feed the ducks bread, it's not good for their diet apparently. 2.) Epic prank idea: kidnap the ducks. That way, people will just have to call it the Pond until the University gets new ducks. 3.) By the end of this spring, I may have nearly all the surveying details for this patch of property. including the traverse area and differential levels, so hmu around summer 2019 for those stats

Rhonda R

Lovely spot to relax and enjoy the NM sunshine. Some parking is free on weekends. However there are often photo sessions for weddings, quincaneras, senior and/or graduation happening. Some weekends of Pokemon Go events, it can get a bit overrun. Also, be prepared for bold ducks if you bring them treats (no bread, bird seed and halved grapes recommended). There are also huge carp and quite a few turtles in the pond.

Taylor Spence

A nice place to cool off and relax on a hot day. Sustainable?

Heather McClurg

Cool place to rest on the grass, a good amount of shade from the trees (when they have leaves), pretty views... except the constant presence of couples finding it an apparently romantic spot.

Robert Piggott

A really tranquil place with tons of greenery, for my dog to roam around, dead center in the middle of a desert. A really chill oasis.

michael kidwell

Best place on campus.

Suntom Ngo

Just as it states in the name. Its a pond with ducks. WACK

Joy Munson

UNM has such a beautiful campus! And the duck pond (which also has turtles) is so peaceful! Very relaxing.

Tyler Luis

The duck pond provides peace on campus when life seems to be spinning out of control. It may not seem like much, but to people who have nothing else, the pond is everything.

guy slats

I work here

Nimeni Niemand

This place rules. They dot ducks AND turtles, and a statue of a wolf. Plus, my dog loves swimming in the pond.

Richard Bliss

Good place to see ducks

Marcos Alcazar mendoza

It needs more shades ;c

David Estes

priskillah 2

There's trash everywhere but the upside is there's ducks and turtles.

Tom Johnson

Nice relaxing place. Water was mucky and dirty. Very disappointing. Don't know how them big gold fish, if that's what they are, Survive.

N C

A remarkably serene park in the midst of UNM. Lots of robins hunting for worms, moms walking their ducklings and big orange fish to round out the experience. On the weekend anyway. Fresh air and youthful exuberance

Crystal Bales

The campus is gorgeous and the duck pond is definitely a relaxing spot to go after a hot day.

Colton Bunker

Awesome park to chill/study with a beautiful pond full of coy fish, turtles and you guessed it ducks! Plenty of space to put a blanket out and not feel crowded, with benches in the middle it's a ideal place to study in harmony or bring you kids for a lunch date!

Michael Amos

Lobos, of course!

Joe Page

Spring is a great time to come visit the UNM Duck Pond. Lots of little baby rabbits, ducks and geese wandering around trying to stay out of sight. Great relaxing water spot for die-hard desert dwellers. Shade to enjoy, meandering paths and bridges to walk along and great for people watching. Bring a blanket, snacks, and have a nice quiet view of nature.

Marisa Jojola

Took my senior pictures here! You couldn't possibly take a bad photo there, it's so green and we'll kept! The ducks and turtles are adorable!

Alina Long

A very calm place to take kids to kill time or have a picnic. My kids(age 12, 6 and 2) love coming here and feeding the ducks. Watching for turtles and fishes, and they even have some goose or swans here. The fowls will follow you a bit if you feed them, but they do not bite or chase. It's a beautiful scenic area

Logan Rowlett

Nice place to hang out in the area. Plenty of others around but everyone keeps to themselves if they're strangers.

Chad Chavez

The duck pond at unm is one of the best spots for photos. Im talking prom,weddings, sweet sixteen ,quinceanera or just any kind photography you can think of. It has beautiful back round from small waterfall ,ducks, green grass ,beautiful trees and water features.

Richard Rockett

Centrally located in the heart of Albuquerque, The University of New Mexico (UNM) is just minutes from almost anywhere in the city. UNM is an oasis, both environmentally and academically, in the heart of New Mexico and the Southwest. Modelled on the Pueblo Revival style, buildings reflect the character of the region while also blending, and not competing, with their surroundings. A walk through the campus brings a greater understanding of the environmental consciousness and commitment of both UNM and the region as a whole. The vistas in all directions are absolutely breath-taking. Academically, UNM has so many programs of study the are top-tier within the realm of public institutions of higher learning -- business, law, environmental architecture/design, engineering, international relations, medicine and cancer research, et al -- that it has become an affordable source of academic excellence for students from around the country and the world.

Kevin Bloom

This was really nice bringing my children to. The koi goldfish in this pond are huge.!!! Just a heads up.. don't bring bread or bread crumbs.. it's not allowed and it makes the fish and the ducks sick... bring grapes, corn niblets, or bird seed for the Ducks and Fish..:)

Jordan Salas

This is a nice place to relax, but sometimes there are some sketchy transients there.

Melissa lopez

Love UNM

Leah Jolene Jeffcoat

Welcoming ducks, turtles, red robins, sparrows in and around the campus pond. Scenic spot for photography. Majestic trees amongst the grass carpeted banks. An ideal place for a picnic!

Benjamin Peterson

Its the duck pond at the university like it's got ducks and fish and turtles and fountains and bridges and like six pokestops in pokemon go a waterfall and a statue it's a nice spot that has lots of shade on a hot summer's day

Claudia Diaz

Love to come here with my kid. Ducks, koi, turtles, fountains and green area to play. What's not to love!

Bernadette Montano

Peaceful

Raymond Vereb

I mean it's a pond, there is really much more to go on than that, I mean it's really well kept and really nice looking. I don't really know what else to say about a duck pond, it's a duck pond what more do you want? Seriously? I mean it used to be a scyther nest in pokemon go, so that was cool, but it isn't anymore... sooooo yeah. It's a pond for ducks, simple.

Frodo Baggins

Didn't see one duck, great pond tho

Leonard Dauphinais

I've been bringing my son here since 2011. It's a great place to visit when you're not blessed enough to have a yard of your own The ducks, various birds, and my son's favorite, the turtles all make UNM duck pond amazing. Just know that they ask you to feed shredded veggies and not bread or tortillas to the wildlife. Makes for some awesome pictures too. Believe me, you need to take time to just visit the UNM campus in the evening...its a wonderful walk.

Carolyn Ramirez

Place is always clean friendly staff. Packaged items are tasteless or soggy. Lettuce is always dead. No matter what you get. As well as dry. I think overpriced. For campus should be within students prices or budgets. Drink prices are high for bottled items do better at Smiths or Walmart.

Sara Alkhars

Nice place to relax between classes, some people visit with their kids. It’s a clean place and chill. There’s turtles too.

Jay Daum

Lots pd ducks and turtles. Lots of shade and benches to sit on.

Betty Bless

Nice decent area to sit and relax or feed the ducks!

Tristian Ruiz

Someone put a goldfish in there

Hari Chandrasekaran

nice place to hangout

Jennifer Holdcroft

It's such a beautiful campus.

Ronnie Garduño

The duck pond is a really nice place to relax or study. It's got plenty of shade, and a good collection of ducks and turtles call it home. The fountain is especially calming, and the sound of the water mixes with the wind through the trees in an especially pleasing manner.

Arely Herrera

Peaceful place to relax and get stuff done!

Andrew S. Griego

Duck pond. Lots of great memories

Tara Smith

I love ducks. Very pretty. Also turtles

Rebecca Glenn

Nice place to relax and hang out. Lots of wedding pictures happen here during the summer though so beware. The grass is usually always in good shape for you to sit or lie down in. The little fountain in the middle is cute and the sound of the water is relaxing to listen to. Love that there's sidewalk that goes all the way around it so you can easily ride your bike around it with ease. Perfect for picnics in between classes or if you just want to. Parking can be a bit of a hassle so I would suggest riding your bike or walking there. Overall a really nice place.

Lewis Harvey

Nice pond. Angry ducks. Give them snack to make them happy ducks.

Laura Jayne

Fun place to hang out and feed the ducks!

Ankit shah

cool place for being close to nature

Krisenda Lobato

I heard that a wall may go up around UNM, I get it's for safety reasons but I hope it doesn't also keep the public from enjoying the campus it's a really nice place for all the trees and roses the ducks and turtles. It would be a shame if we will no longer be able to enjoy it's beauty and diversity.

ブレンデンBrenden

Great place for just about anything, especially enjoying some nature in the city. Could use a weekly pond clean up though.

Allie M

A very nice calm experience.

Ernest Brewer

Great place to visit for all ages. Was a little disappointed because it needs to be cleaned out. Not as many ducks as in previous years. Has a lot of seating to enjoy a frosty.

Tatum G.T.

It is a nice place to sit down and relax. A good place for thinking or school work. The ducks are nice bonus as well.

Kristina Martinez

Very pretty and nice spring weather, all the ducks and turtles were out and we even got to see baby ducklings

The best in town and fond memories of a school pond

I love sitting here between classes or meditating by the water, people are very nice and the only ones that will come up to you are the Bible study people on Tuesdays

Joshua Whalen

One of the few places in town where one can find water, although not solitude, it is easier access than hiking.

Marmi Le

Alway hang out here after daughter's cello class. Beautiful serene place to just chill on the grass and watch ducks.

Wyatt Stevens

Amazing place to relax, study or just enjoy the atmosphere.

Always love this address of UNM. Peaceful. Smells a bit but that's nature

'Bishal Raj Khanal

designed by landscape architect Garrett Eckbo, it is one of the best places in UNM.

Dani Rose

The ducks are really nice. I bring some grapes to feed them sometimes and its cute seeing them gather close to you to eat the shredded grapes. The sound of the water with the occasional donald duck laughter is very amusing and relaxing. The best time to go is when the grass is green.

Michele Bourque

Nice place to have a picnic

Beyond Reality
