Rierson Park is a small city park offering open lawns, mature shade trees, walking paths and expansive eastern New Mexico skies — ideal for wide-sky landscapes, golden-hour portraits and simple urban-nature scenes. Free public access with on-street and small lot parking; no entry fees. Visit sunrise or sunset for dramatic cloudscapes and warm light; spring brings greener grass and wildflowers, while clear nights are good for star photography. Weekdays and early mornings minimize families at play
