This isn't a beach like we have in California, but it is a beautiful place for fishing or walking, feeding the ducks and geese. Walked over to the Rio Grande which is right down the path...Not much water , but still pretty..Lucky enough to come upon a roadrunne...I don't hike much , so probably stayed for about 45 minutes..I love the idea of the separate pond for the youngsters to fish..

Tingley Beach is one of the places in ABQ that I really enjoy spending my time. I feel that it is expansive enough that you can find different things to enjoy outdoor activities of your choice...be them just lounging around a pond, fishing, biking, taking photos, walking along the Rio Grande and enjoying the nature...or just simply appreciate the beautiful nature that NM has to offer.P.S. the place can be a bit crowded..and sometimes you have to look out for some bikers esp if you are walking along a narrow path. But otherwise, great place to enjoy your free time here!

This is such a unique and pretty area. Besides the overload of bird faeces everything is super neat. Great visit spot. Walk trail is nice.

Tingley Beach is a nice park area close to the BioParks near Old Town Albuquerque. My sister and I decided to go for a bit of a walk here while we waited for the time to pick up our dad from an event.There is a lot to offer here, and that is from someone who visited in December! Our main goal of our visit was for a walk along the Rio Grande and the Bosque Trail. Check and chickity-check!There is also the duck pond with waterfowl to feed and chase.Fishing ponds.Other trails.Bait shop.Ice cream/snack stand (in better weather).Port-a-potties.FLUSHY TOILETS.Paddle boat rentals (in nicer weather).Ample parking.Nature, nature, naturrrrrre.I would happily return here for some more outdoors-y times!

Came here to walk around a bit on a weekday morning. Not too many people, lots of ducks. Ponds are pleasant, walking around was pleasant, nothing super exciting.

Created in the 1930s and now part of the Albuquerque BioPark, Tingley Beach is actually a series of ponds.In addition to Tingley Beach, Albuquerque BioPark includes a zoo, an aquarium, and the botanic gardens.Tingly Beach seems to be especially popular with locals for hiking, picnics, boating, and fishing.When you visit the botanic gardens there's a combo ticket you can buy that includes not only all their attractions, but also a train ride around the whole complex; on this ride you'll go past Tingley Beach.

The perfect place for a picnic, or watching the fall colors. Fishing is alright, a little slow, and never catch much. The bike path is nice (if you actually ride a bike that is). The peddle boats are kind of a pain and are their own workout in themselves, depending on how far it peddles off shore (with no shade attached). Decent snacks inside, but the snow cones are pretty cheap and just fall out of the wrapper. Nice views of the golf course nearby. The closest thing to a beach Albuquerque's going to get...

I love this spot. Not for any real reason than the nature. I love the ducks and geese. I have been coming here to decompress for 12 years and I have brought many people I cared about here to share a walk and visit. I love to fish but I also like to eat them so I go fishing other places but there is catch and release most of the year and there used to be one pond at certain times of the year you could keep your catch but I honestly do not know at all now what the rules are; they are posted I am sure because there are little signs everywhere. I love the waterfall and there is a quaint little part where the plants are identified and some of the foul as well. A clubhouse that for some reason never seems open or used. You can walk in the trees behind the ponds as well it's a cool break from the sun but wear mosquito repellant if it's summer. There used to be paddle boats in the summer and that was fun but I haven't seen them for like 4 years so I don't believe it's an option. I wish they would bring that back but I understand why they don't. It was cool. There also used to be motorized mini-boat races and that was fun too. All these nostalgic memories to say this...the bathrooms are decent and it's pretty clean for the city and I do recommend you check it out absolutely! Please leave it like you found it and if there is an event coordinator for this place "STEP UP YOUR GAME" we need more activities out there. Please.

This is my son's favorite spot to go and feed the ducks. I love the benches under the trees to sit and relax and take time to ponder. I usually see a plethora of geese and pigeons. I know you can rent peddle boats, fish, bring your sailboats (electric or wind sail), and there's even a cafe. What I love about it is it's proximity to the aquarium/botanical gardens and even the zoo, and the bosque trail. We can stop by, feed the ducks, relax a bit, and then hit the BioParks. I'd give it a 3.5 star rating, But I continually sense that this place could be so much more, just a little TLC, a little zing and a little zang and this could really bring people in.

*NM DONUT KWEEN ADVENTURES*#33 for 2019One might not realize there is a ton of things to do in Albuquerque! Heres one for you! How about a visit to Tingley Beach. Regardless of the weather there are always people here. Fishing, paddle-boating, walking the trails, riding bikes or playing in the playground area. Dedicated fisherman are here on a cold day casting their rods into the wintry waters hoping for a bite: catfish or rainbow trout i suppose. Whatever the case may be, they are as dedicated to the art of fishing as are the walkers and runners decidated to their sport. Even in this cold weather....brrrr!Summertimes are the best! Kids runnings around, a packed lake full of people fishing and others having picnics. Just west of the Tingley Beach is the Rio Grande River full of trails throughout the bosque. If you want a relaxing day you can walk around the area and enjoy the scenery or bring your rod and catch a few fish for dinner!
