A Letter from Community Services It’s winter in Los Alamos...

Dear Los Alamos Community, As the snow begins to blanket our beautiful mountains, mesas and canyons, we are excited to welcome you to the 2025–2026 Winter Activity Guide in Los Alamos! This time of year brings with it a unique mix of warmth, community, and opportunity for residents and visitors alike.

From the slopes of Pajarito Mountain to the cozy gathering spaces at the library, our community is filled with programs and services designed to bring people together, foster well-being, and celebrate our vibrant community. Families can enjoy youth sports, arts workshops, and story times that spark creativity.

Adults and seniors will find fitness classes, enrichment programs, and cultural events that connect neighbors and inspire lifelong learning. Outdoors, our trails, rinks, and recreation facilities offer crisp winter adventures for skaters, skiers, hikers, and equestrians.

We are also proud to highlight our strong partnership with local businesses. Whether you’re warming up with a hot chocolate after sledding, shopping for holiday treasures, or enjoying a meal with friends, we encourage you to support the local establishments that help make Los Alamos such a special place to live and visit.

The Community Services Department is committed to creating spaces and opportunities for everyone—whether it’s through recreation, culture, open space, or social services. Together, we are building not just seasonal fun, but a healthier, stronger, and more connected Los Alamos.

As always, our community's well-being is our priority. The winter season can bring unique challenges, and our local social services are here to support you. Whether it's assistance with heating, family support programs, or connecting with resources for those in need, we are committed to ensuring that everyone in Los Alamos has access to the help they need to thrive.

We invite you to explore all that this winter season has to offer. Let’s make 2025–2026 a time of joy, growth, and celebration in our community!

Warmly, Cory Styron Community Services Director

Seasonal Activity Guide Award Los Alamos County Community Services Department received the Kudos Award from the New Mexico Recreation and Park Association (NMRPA) for the Los Alamos County Seasonal Activity Guide at its annual conference in 2024.

The Kudos Award is presented to agencies who have significantly contributed to the public’s increased awareness and recognition of public parks, recreation, conservation agencies, and leisure service programs.

The Activity Guide is compiled and published by the Los Alamos County Community Services Department on a quarterly basis to provide the community and its surrounding region with events happening in the Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

It also provides information about local amenities, attractions, and indoor and outdoor activities.

The distribution efforts continuously expand, and now include locations in Espanola and Taos, with a combined total of 44 locations within Northern New Mexico. Additionally, the Community Services Department monitors the number of Activity Guides printed and distributed, to help reduce waste, and adjusts the dispersion numbers for each location and season.

The Community Services Department strives to reach all audiences, and its local and regional populations, as it is home to one of the largest employers in Northern New Mexico. Regardless of whether an individual resides in Los Alamos or not, they spend a great amount of time in Los Alamos County and they are part of the community and should be included.

These Play Lots have been identified for renovation to enhance accessibility in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and to align with priorities outlined in the Community Services Department (CSD) Integrated Master Plan. The improvements will enhance safety, accessibility, and provide updated amenities for the community. The first public listening sessions were held for both playground sites, inviting input from residents. Feedback was additionally captured from 1st graders at Pinion Elementary School and 3rd graders at Mountain and Aspen Elementary. The children provided great feedback on the types of amenities they would like to see incorporated at these playgrounds. In Spring 2024, the draft designs were shared through multiple public engagement opportunities, including displays at both libraries, two in-person public meetings, and prominently placed design boards at both play lots.

Following a thorough review of the feedback received, the designs were refined and finalized. Los Alamos Landscaping and More, LLC will begin the renovation in late Summer 2025 and completion is anticipated by Spring 2026.

This project began a significant upgrade of athletic courts in the community. The North Mesa Courts were demolished and rebuilt from the ground up. We started with a new base that is more stable and allows for a better playing experience. We expect to change at least one court into a tennis court as part of this process. The East Court Basketball Court needed attention as well. The courts have been updated to meet ADA requirements so that all users in our community feel welcomed and can enjoy the amenities. Bids were received in December 2024 and LA Landscape was selected for this project.

In March 2025, the contractor began the demolition process and construction of new courts will follow with an estimated completion date of Oct. 2025. For information on this project, please contact Assistant Parks Superintendent, Emmanuel.abeyta@losalamosnm.gov or (505) 663-1821.

The Los Alamos County Larry Walkup Aquatic Center was built in the late 1980’s and while other maintenance projects have taken place in recent years, the plaster shell of the Olympic Pool is the original.

Plaster pool shells are designed to have a lifespan of 15 – 20 years; the Aquatic Center pool shell is well beyond its life expectancy and is showing its age.

Los Alamos County Recreation and Public Works team has a completed contract with Lee-sure Pools that includes, but not limited to the following scope of work: remove old plaster, remove and replace rebar if exposed, re-plaster pool, remove and replace pool tile, address tow ledge, install anchor cups, remove and replace pool lights, remove and replace handrails in main pool and therapy pool, install depth markers and “no diving” tiles, remove and replace starting blocks.

The Contract with Lee-sure Pools was presented and approved by County Council in May 2025. This project is currently projected to start in March 2026 through October 2026. Alternative swim locations are being explored to be able to help reduce the impact to the local swimming community.

Artificial Turf Study and ADA Recommendations Completed

INITIATING

The previous chiller was reaching the limit of its expected life cycle (21 out of 25 years of service) and was presenting malfunctions. Because of its condition, the previous chiller was not expected to make a reliable skating ice sheet.

Public Works is the lead on the chiller evaluation and replacement and is working with the Recreation Division. The initial evaluation developed a scope of work for the project. Los Alamos County rented a chiller unit for the 2023 – 2024 & 2024 - 2025 seasons. A customdesigned permanent chiller was installed in the Summer of 2025, and electrical tie-ins will be worked on until September, and is expected to be in service for the 2025 – 2026 season.

In addition to the Ice Rink chiller, there is concern for the concrete slab that supports the ice during the winter season, as it is also near its expected life cycle. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued on June 1, 2024; the team received one respondent. An agreement with R&M Construction was executed in August 2024, and the project kickoff meeting was held on August 15, 2024. Two public surveys have been conducted to gauge the importance of a shade structure, and the type of shade structure would be the most beneficial for the space.

On June 10th, staff took the findings and a recommendation for a mono-sloped cover to County Council, where they approved the team to move forward with design.

Boards and Commissions Current Projects ART IN PUBLIC PLACES BOARD

Monthly - 3rd Thursday

To encourage the integration of art into the architecture of municipal structures, increase the general public awareness of art, to visually enhance the community, to capture a part of our history for future generations, to promote the establishment of a collection of art with the works of artists who live or work, or who have lived or worked in Los Alamos County having a priority. The Art in Public Places fund is created for the express purposes of acquiring, installing and maintaining county-owned works of art and for the administrative support, cataloging, display and use attendant to the County's ownership of the works of art.

Semi Quincentennial Art Competition The Art in Public Places Board is in the early stages of planning a Semi-Quincentennial Public Art Contest and Exhibit in partnership with Step Up Gallery at the Mesa Public Library. Scheduled for summer 2026, the exhibit will invite artists to submit original works celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States. The show will include a public voting component, and selected artworks may be considered for acquisition into the County’s public art collection. Stay tuned for your chance to participate in this creative celebration of history, heritage, and community!

5:30pm, Mesa Public Library, 3rd Floor

Los Alamos County Community Services Department Receives CAPRA Accreditation The Community Services Department was sanctioned as an accredited agency by the Commission for Accreditation for Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) through the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) on October 9, 2024, at their annual conference. With this Accreditation, Los Alamos County joins the other 206 agencies nationwide and is the first and only County in New Mexico accredited for following industry best practice standards.

NRPA's CAPRA Accreditation delivers quality assurance and improvement to accredited park and recreation departments throughout the United States. This operational management system improves our infrastructure; increases efficiency in activities; and demonstrates accountability within our community. Implementation of this system also strengthens teamwork among department staff, embeds all aspects of CAPRA into our department’s internal culture, and establishes a continuous improvement mindset for all department activities. The accredited status demonstrates to our community that the department is a professional organization committed to the best practices in the industry and embodies a spirit of continuous improvement to enrich the quality of life in our community.

The Community Services Department has been working to meet the 154 standards of the accreditation requirements for the past three years. The 154 standards cover 10 categories of best practices for parks and recreation agencies.

The week of May 13-17, 2024, the department hosted the peer review committee to review its evidence of compliance and tour Los Alamos County facilities. The committee found that the Community Services Department met 154 of 154 standards, which is uncommon.

The community can review the standards, link to documents referenced in the self-assessment, and report from CAPRA at: www.losalamosnm.us/Government/Departments-and-Divisions/Community-Services/CAPRA.

Aquatic exercise promotes and enhances physical and mental fitness. The water’s unique properties allow the pool to provide an environment for people of all abilities. Buoyancy creates a reduced impact that is easier on joints and water resistance challenges the muscles. The beauty of water is the ability to offer aerobic activity, resistance training and flexibility all at the same time. Water is thicker than air, so muscles get stronger.

PADI Open Water Dive Course TBD

Tortuga Diver Training offers a wide range of scuba training courses under the auspices of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, the single largest scuba certification agency worldwide.

LOS ALAMOS FARMERS' MARKET

The basis for the Farmers Market is that every New Mexico family deserves access to fresh food, and farmers should be able to stay on their land, keep water and seeds in production, and preserve agricultural knowledge. Supporting local growers, ranchers, and food producers preserves cultural identity and traditions, along with creating valuable community gathering places. It also keeps important food dollars circulating in our hometowns where they are needed most. The Los Alamos Farmers Market started in 1970 as a great place to support local foods and buy direct from growers and producers.

The Parks/Grounds Maintenance Award is presented to agencies for the outstanding maintenance of parks, entryways, athletic fields, medians, or trails The Los Alamos County Parks and Open Space Division maintains Ashley Pond, the pride and joy of our community. Today, Ashley Pond is a pleasant downtown landmark of Los Alamos. Situated near the center of town, it is used for picnics, walks, and outdoor concerts in the summer.

The landscape maintenance schedule consists of mowing, weeding, and edging once weekly, 30 weeks per year. The services provided by the area crew are weeding, edge trimming, trash pickup, tree and shrub pruning, and general landscaping.

Ashely Pond falls under the Mode 1 Standard as the park has some level of service performed daily due to the number of events and foot traffic. Two pavilions will be built this fall, with an anticipated start date in November 2024. These pavilions will not only serve our residences and visitors, but they will also be ADA-accessible.

SANTA FE NATIONAL FOREST

Some of the finest mountain scenery in the Southwest is found in the 1.6-million-acre Santa Fe National Forest.

Here, you can find the headwaters of Pecos, Jemez, and Gallinas Rivers; mountain streams; lakes; and trout fishing.

Travel into the Dome Wilderness via pack trips, saddle, or on 1,000 miles of hiking trails. Consider turkey, elk, deer, and bear hunting, or visit one of many nearby Indian pueblos, Spanish missions, and Indian ruins.

Jemez Mountain Trail National Scenic Byway Circling Fenton Lake State Park between Bernalillo, Cuba and Los Alamos, the Jemez Mountain Trail is a beautiful drive full of the courageous history of the Jemez people and surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery in the southwest. The Jemez Mountain Trail starts at the Coronado Monument in Bernalillo and encompasses the Jemez State Monument, Valles Caldera Preserve and finishes at Bandelier National Monument. It is filled with many opportunities for hiking, fishing, camping, cross-country skiing, or visiting natural hot springs.

Explore unique sights, like Soda Dam and Jemez Falls, or take a short hike to Spence Hot Springs for a relaxing dip in the pools. Enjoy the unique red rock scenery, winding canyons, and breathtaking views, as you loop through the Santa Fe National Forest (SFNF) and enjoy fishing at Fenton Lake State Park, or a short side trip to the Gilman Tunnels—blasted through rock during the 1920s.

This 132-mile loop accommodates most vehicles and offers a convenient and rewarding way to experience the best of the Jemez Mountains—in just one day! Depart west from Los Alamos via NM501 and turn right onto NM4 toward Jemez Springs, traveling through Bandelier National Monument and the Valles Caldera National Preserve. The road leads up more than 1,000 feet through the forest, cresting at an elevation of 9,000 feet.

LIVING WITH WILDLIFE The Pajarito Plateau is home to a wide variety of wildlife...

In Los Alamos County we often live or play in habitats used by these wild animals. With a better understanding of the wildlife around us, we can coexist safely.

NEVER feed the wildlife...

• Be a smart wildlife watcher and help keep wildlife wild. Do not put out food for any animals. Let them stick to their natural diet. Feeding wildlife isn’t safe for the animals or for you.

• Store your food and stash your trash. You may unintentionally feed wildlife by leaving trash or crumbs behind. Be sure to clean up after yourself after meals and practice Leave No Trace principles.

• Give the animals room. Always keep a safe distance when watching wildlife.

WATCH for wildlife on the roadways in the winter…

As the temperature drops and the days get shorter, more vehicles will be on the road at times when wildlife are most active: DAWN AND DUSK Follow these simple tips to reduce the chances of a dangerous collision: • SLOW DOWN and look for movement • AVOID OTHER DISTRACTIONS within the car • WATCH FOR HERD ANIMALS • EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

PREVENT Rodent Problems…

As it gets colder outside, rodents are drawn inside to nooks and crannies in and around your home. Keep these unwanted invaders out with these best practices: • SEAL ENTRY POINTS and INSTALL DOOR SWEEPS • STORE ALL FOOD in airtight containers • USE TIGHTLY SEALED GARBAGE BINS • REMOVE HOUSEHOLD CLUTTER and clear away debris around buildings

BANDELIER NATIONAL MONUMENT

Imagine your home carved from volcanic tuff and your crops planted in mesa top fields. Corn, beans, and squash were central to your diet, supplemented by native plants and meat from deer, rabbit, squirrel and domesticated turkeys. Your dogs assisted in hunting and provided companionship. Step onto the trails and ladders and into the past as you experience life as an Ancestral Pueblo person.

Bandelier National Monument protects more than 33,000 acres of rugged but beautiful canyon and mesa country as well as evidence of a human presence here going back more than 11,000 years. Petroglyph, dwellings carved into the soft rock cliffs, and standing masonry walls pay tribute to the early days of a culture that still survives in the surrounding communities.

MANHATTAN PROJECT NATIONAL HISTORIC PARK

Manhattan Project National Historical Park tells the complex story of one of the most transformative events of the 20th Century. Manhattan Project ushered in the nuclear age with the development of the world’s first atomic bombs.

The project started in 1942 and Los Alamos was one of three secret cities of the Manhattan Project, the other two being located in Hanford, Washington and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The United States dropped atomic bombs "Fat Man" & "Little Boy" on August 6 & 9, 1945 on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the waning days of World War II – forever changing the world.

Imagine you’re a scientist living and working in 1943. One day, mysterious U.S. government men come to your home and convince you to move your family to a secret place to work on a secret project in service to your country. You travel to the remote mountains of New Mexico, into a high-security military base. Your family is given a crudely constructed house with a dirt floor. It isn’t until you report for work that you learn about the science question you’ll be working on. You cannot tell anyone about what you’re doing, not even your spouse. In fact, you don’t even fully know all that is happening.

Stop at the park’s visitor center for an introduction to the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos and talk with Rangers and volunteers, stamp your National Park Service Passport book, join free walking tours, and pick up a Junior Ranger book.

VALLES CALDERA NATIONAL PRESERVE

About 1.2 million years ago, a spectacular volcanic eruption created the 14-mile-wide circular depression now known as Valles Caldera. The park is known for its huge mountain meadows, abundant wildlife, and meandering streams. The area also preserves the homeland of ancestral native peoples and embraces a rich cultural history. Nature abounds here, so be prepared for changing weather conditions. Whether you are enjoying a groomed trail in a developed area or venturing into the backcountry, remember you are traveling in an environment with unpredictable wildlife and changing weather conditions. Be sure to layer up with insulating, waterproof clothing, wear sunglasses, use sunscreen and carry water. With a little bit of preparation, many exciting activities await you.

Admission & Entry Permits Entrance Fee Waived Valles Caldera National Preserve is a fee park; however, at this time the entrance fee is being waived. While the entrance fee is being waived, Valles Caldera will not be able to sell or issue passes.

Backcountry Vehicle Pass Up to 40 passes are available daily, from May 15 through November 15. Visit Recreation.gov to reserve a pass or stop by the Volcano Discovery Center for a day-of pass.

Programs and Activities Daily

We invite you to participate in a ranger program or special event during your visit. Valles Caldera National Preserve offers engaging programs all year-round. Visit nps.gov for details.

Please use the 'contact us' feature through their website: losalamosjjab.com or by calling (505) 709-8125.

The Seven Challenge Instead of a one-size-fits all approach, the Seven Challenges Program is individualized with careful attention to meeting youth where they are at with their substance use. This program helps young people look at themselves, understand what it takes to give up a drug abusing lifestyle, and prepare for success when they commit to change. Groups are 12-16 weeks long and are held 3-4 times per year.
