Roosevelt Park Disc Golf Course

Roosevelt Park — universally called "Rosie" by local players — sits just south of Coal Avenue between Spruce and Maple in Albuquerque's Barelas-adjacent core, a 14-acre New Deal-era park built by CWA, FERA and WPA laborers in 1933–35 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The City of Albuquerque's park listing describes mature trees, a packed-gravel and concrete walking path, and heavy day-to-day activity; there are no public restrooms on site. It's a free, public city park with no fee to play.

The Albuquerque Disc Golf Association runs most of its local league play here. The traditional layout is a par-57, 18-hole course, but it's built across only 10 physical concrete tee pads and baskets — meaning several holes share a target from different starting points, a common solution for fitting 18 holes into a compact urban park. On top of that base layout, the club has marked out numerous alternate "safari" courses that open up once you know the park, though first-time visitors often find it confusing without a map. Expect shady, tree-lined shots through mature elms on rolling, terraced lawns, plus regular crossover with the park's joggers, dog-walkers and other visitors. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons to play at this elevation.
