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

Dear Community, Friends and Visitors, Welcome to your ultimate guide to summer in Los Alamos County! As the days grow longer and the spirit of adventure stirs, we are excited to present a season filled with opportunities to explore, relax, and connect with family and friends in the great outdoors.

Our stunning landscapes offer the perfect backdrop for a variety of activities designed to suit all ages and interests. From serene hiking trails in the Bandelier National Monument, Valles Caldera, or our local canyons to the lively vibes of the Summer Concert Series, there is something here for everyone. Families can look forward to specially curated events that are both fun and engaging, including outdoor movie nights, farmers markets, and community picnics. Bring your family to ScienceFest or the Fair and Rodeo; maybe put them both on your schedule.

We believe that everyone in our community deserves to enjoy these offerings. I encourage you to check out our accessible trail at Kinnikinnik Park or the Canyon Rim Trail.

If intellectual stimulation is your path then visit the Library, Los Alamos Arts Council, PEEC, or one of our other community partners for your journey. If you or someone you know is facing one of life's challenges and needs assistance visit Los Alamos County Social Services Office, we have resources available to ensure that these opportunities are accessible.

Join us under the sun and stars this summer in Los Alamos, where adventure and community come together. We can't wait to see you out there!

Follow your passion and "Discover LA Today!"

Sincerely,

Cory Styron Community Services Department Director

Justice Center Wall Art Project June 5 - 7

The Art in Public Places Board has commissioned artist J Muzacz to create a vibrant glass tiled mosaic mural for the south-facing wall of the Los Alamos Justice Center. Developed through a multi-step public feedback process, his design celebrates the native flora and fauna that make Los Alamos unique. What makes this project especially exciting is its interactive creation. Community members are invited to help build the mural themselves during hands-on workdays, Friday, June 5th, through Sunday, June 7th, at the Mesa Public Library. No experience or artistic skill is needed. Learn more and register here: lacnm.com/mosaic or simply drop in and be part of this colorful addition to the County’s public art collection.

For more information, contact Chelsea Ashcraft at (505) 662-8261.

Senior Center Security Gate The “Los Alamos Heritage Gate” is nearing completion, and we’re excited to soon add this vibrant new piece to the County’s public art collection. Created in response to a request from the Los Alamos Retired and Senior Organization, the Art in Public Places Board supported the development of this functional art gate to improve safety and enhance the stairwell area on the north side of the Betty Ehart Senior Center. Following a competitive public call for art and strong community input, this design was selected for the way it celebrates our trees, our local history, and the culture that defines Los Alamos. As the finishing touches are underway, we’re thrilled to share a look at the work in progress, and can’t wait for the community to soon experience the completed piece in person.

Friday & Saturday, 10:00am - 4:00pm Sunday, 1:00pm - 4:00pm Mesa Public Library

Police Station Lion Sculpture The Art in Public Places Board recently invited the community to help choose a bronze lion sculpture for the Los Alamos Police Station, which received an impressive 455 responses. APPB and the Police Department are now reviewing the feedback, working with the artists, and determining next steps.

The project began with a call for artist qualifications and interest, which received 10 submissions. A review committee narrowed the pool to four semi-finalists (two of them New Mexico artists) who were offered stipends to design a lion sculpture. Both local artists ultimately withdrew before the design deadline after determining their projects could not be completed within the required budget, leaving two finalists for consideration.

The lion, symbolizing strength, courage, protection, and vigilance in law enforcement, will complement planned site improvements near the Police Memorial, with a proposed location between the Justice Center and the Police Station.

The final designs were submitted by nationally recognized artists Jocelyn Russell, presenting her bronze sculpture “Mfalme,” and Daniel Borup, proposing a custom piece. Community feedback will play an important role as APPB works with the artists and develops its recommendation to the County Council.

Nature Center Sculpture “Raven Dialogues, Friendly Advice” by New Mexico artist Star York now stands as a permanent part of the Los Alamos Nature Center.

Selected as the top choice among more than 300 residents through surveys during PEEC’s 2025 Earth Day celebration and online outreach, the sculpture reflects strong community support. Set on a natural stone base to enhance visibility while complementing the landscape, it captures the lively interactions York observed between ravens and local wildlife. This piece represents a shared community vision made possible through collaboration with the Art in Public Places Board, PEEC, and Sorrel Sky Gallery. We welcome you to visit the Nature Center and enjoy the sculpture in its new home.

The library would like to expand and diversify programs and events by holding them outdoors. There are many types of events that are not suitable for inside the library such as small concerts, any type of craft involving water or bubbles, dancing, etc. There is no other space available near the library to hold such events. The only available outdoor space for programming is Ashley Pond Stage and while this works for some larger programs it is not ideal for library programming.

An additional benefit is the ability to be in nature which fits different learning styles and objectives. The additional space would also allow for partner programs with the Senior Center and possibly PEEC. The Betty Erhart Senior Center is interested in using the space for senior and additional programming as well. Please contact Gwen Kalavaza, Library Manager at gwen.kalavaza@losalamosnm.gov for more information.

Sites Southwest has been selected as the professional company for this planning exercise. Several Listening sessions and design workshops have been held. The area is from the Flint Soccer Field along North Mesa Drive to the east, where the existing playground is located. This is the largest park area the county has to develop for future use. This project is important as the conversation moves forward about the North Mesa Housing Plan. The project provides a forum to discuss the future needs of North Mesa and to consider longterm uses of the space. Staff presented final drafts to the Parks and Recreation Board in December, and County Council formally adopted the plan in January 2026 with strong support from many community members in attendance. With the master plan now complete, staff is working on securing funding for the first phases of the plan.

Beginning May 2026, Spiro Soccer, Senior, and Bun Ryan Fields renovation will be completed . The fields were closed during the 2025 sports season, and the project was delayed due to many variables.

During 2026, Spirio field will be evaluated in the spring for playability and Bun Ryan Field will be completed. No additional fields will be renovated during 2026. The project will resume the renovation schedule in 2027.

This project is being led by Sites Southwest, focusing on the park and picnic area. The desire is to upgrade the park using the Americans with Disabilities Act of 2010. Areas being evaluated include walking paths, facilities, playgrounds, disc golf, and roads. The goal is to renovate the park and determine whether additions, upgrades, or improvements are needed to enhance the community experience. An initial listening session was held in June 2025, followed by additional sessions in January and March 2026. Consultants for this project and the Bayo Canyon Trailhead are coordinating closely to help both projects align with each other and move forward smoothly given their proximity to each other.

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 resident input. 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. Invitations for Bid were sent to interested parties the week of April 28 and closed the first week of June. County Council approved the IFB on July 8th, and the contract was awarded to LA Landscape and More, LLC. Renovation began in Fall 2025 and was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. Both playgrounds are now complete, with a ribbon cutting ceremony planned for May 5, 2026.

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. Work began in March 2026 and is scheduled to continue through October 2026. To help reduce impacts on the local swimming community, the Community Services Aquatic Division is preparing Pinon Park Pool for summer use during the construction period.

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.

The purpose of this project is to design and develop an improved, accessible trailhead at Bayo Canyon. The project includes concept, schematics, design, construction documents, and specifications, along with construction administration. Possible amenities may include parking adjustments, a vault toilet, a kiosk, a bicycle repair station, a shade structure, and a picnic table. ADA compliant parking spaces are being thoughtfully considered, along with accessibility to all amenities. A grant has been secured to partially support the design phase. Public meetings are ongoing, and consultants for this project and the Picnic Grounds at North Mesa Master Plan are coordinating closely to help both projects align with each other and move forward smoothly, given their proximity to each other.

Staff secured a grant from the NM Department of Finance and Administration to assess, review, design, and establish construction documents of the project. This project kicked off in the summer of 2024 and involved listening sessions and additional public input. In the summer of 2024, the engineering team from Wilson’s determined that the grandstand structure was not safe for use, and the County closed the area. Demolition of the grandstand and shade was completed in December 2024. Public engagement meetings have been ongoing with user groups, and Wilson’s is working towards finalizing the arena plan. County Council approved the contract for the improvements in January. Public Works is working with the contractor. Due to lead times for the grandstand and catwalk for the announcers' booth, these items will not be in place for the 2026 Rodeo and Fair.

ADA accessibility efforts will focus on creating an accessible route, improving access from the parking lot, enhancing public display areas such as the sensory garden, upgrading signage and bench seating, developing an outdoor program area, and improving access to the work shed, along with other accessibility needs identified by the design professional. The intent is to improve accessibility while minimizing impacts on established garden beds. Community engagement sessions will be scheduled later in 2026 to gather public feedback.

Community Services - Current Projects

The project involves the design and construction documents, per the Guaje Pines Master Plan, for the installation of columbarium structures.

The work includes site preparation, structural construction, installation of two existing columbaria, and all related infrastructure necessary for a fully operational columbarium facility. This project is at the beginning stages of issuing a task order for professional services, including community engagement sessions, design and construction.

Ongoing Programs Los Alamos County Swim Lessons Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

Seahorse/Goldfish and Starfish/Parent and Tot swim lessons will be offered at varying times. Check the schedule for more details: Swim Lesson Schedule

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.

Safety Note: All deep-water classes use flotation belts for support.

Swimming skills are not necessary. Participants should be comfortable in deep water. If you arrive late or leave class early please include time for an individual warm up and cool down. Students work at own level.

Adaptive Swim lessons Tuesdays and Thursdays

Personalized, sensory-friendly 1:1 or 2:1 swim instruction led by an Occupational Therapist. Designed for swimmers who benefit from extra support with motor planning, coordination, modified instruction, and sensory-friendly activities.

Aquatic Center For more information, and to register, contact (505)662-8170 or register on the Los Alamos County CivicRec website.

Deep Water Fun & Fitness: Zero impact, comfortably paced class that uses the water’s resistance to improve your fitness, flexibility, range of motion, strength, and balance.

Therapy Fun & Fitness: Low impact, warm-water class held in the therapy pool. Includes working on range of motion, toning, stretching and balance. Participants with orthopedic concerns, arthritis, asthma and other conditions have found this class to be beneficial. The maximum class size is 18 students.

WaterWorks!: A low impact, but effective water aerobics class designed to improve flexibility, range of motion, strength, muscle tone and cardiovascular endurance while using the resistance of the water to cushion the feet, knees and back. May use equipment including noodles, belts, bands and boards. Water shoes recommended.

Paddle Board Yoga: Take your fitness routine to the mat - a floating mat. SUP Yoga is a combination of paddleboarding and yoga practice. It challenges you to find another level of balance and focus your mind, all while floating atop the water. Think it sounds hard? Take a deep, centering breath; it's easier than you think, and perfect for both yoga and paddleboarding newbies.

LIVING

with WILDLIFE Living with Large Predators...

Large predators in Los Alamos County include mountain lions, black bears, bobcats and coyotes. They can at times be dangerous. However, with a better understanding of these animals, we can learn to coexist safely.

Who do I call to report an issue?

IS IT A DOMESTIC ANIMAL? Call the Los Alamos Police Department Animal Control at the nonemergency number at 505-662-8222. If it is an emergency, call 9-1-1.

IS IT A WILD ANIMAL? Contact your LA-WR-Española District Officer Ariel Perraglio today with questions or concerns at 505-412-8796. If it is an emergency, call 9-1-1.

Don’t feed the wildlife...

In 2025, Los Alamos County Council passed Ordinance 02-373 prohibiting the feeding of wild animals on both public and private property within the County’s incorporated boundaries.

&

STAY SAFE

KEEP WILDLIFE WILD

Never feed the wildlife. It is unhealthy for animals and may lead them to become aggressive towards humans.

38

losalamosnm.gov

When exploring our open spaces and parks, take a moment to stop, look around, and listen. A lot of wildlife can be observed in this way.

It is exciting to see wildlife, but remember, our parks and open spaces are their home and it is our responsibility to allow animals to live their lives undisturbed. Any wild animal may be dangerous if approached. Additionally, wild animals can carry deadly diseases such as hantavirus, plague, and rabies.

The most common animal you will see on the Pajarito Plateau is deer. However, we have many wild animals that call the plateau home. Be aware of what is going on around you, and learn what to do if you encounter a mountain lion, black bear, coyote, or bobcat.

A few venomous animals live in Los Alamos County as well, including rattlesnakes. When hiking, always look before you place your feet. Avoid stepping or reaching into places you cannot see.

Mountain lions are an important part of the plateau’s ecosystem, helping to keep deer and other prey populations in check. Bears are infamous omnivores which rarely kill animals of any great size for food. Although mountain lion attacks are rare and bear attacks are even more rare, they are possible.

How do I stay safe?

• •

What should I know?

• •

There have been instances of coyote aggression toward domestic dogs on trails in and around the county. Coyotes are wild and potentially dangerous and should never be fed or approached.

• • •

Hike in groups and stay together, especially kids.

If you see a bear or mountain lion, watch quietly from a safe distance.

Never approach. Back away slowly if you need to.

If the animal approaches you, stand up tall and make loud noises. Clap your hands. Never run.

Carry bear spray and know how to use it.

Keep dogs on non-retractable leashes at all times.

Don’t let dogs bark at, chase, or corner an animal.

The canyons and mesas in and around the County are linked by 100+ miles of trail network. Hikers and runners, horseback riders, mountain bikers, and other trail users delight in the variety to choose from.

Jemez Mountain Trail National Scenic Byway

SANTA FE NATIONAL FOREST

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.

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.

Camping & Recreation Book your reservation Online!

The Santa Fe National Forest offers beautiful camping and recreation areas that include high desert and forested landscapes on a range of elevations with primitive and developed campsites. Developed campgrounds offer a selection of amenities for users with RVs and tents.

PAJARITO MOUNTAIN

A gem exists in northern New Mexico, where the sun shines 300 days a year and you can often ski without a jacket. Pajarito Mountain has a base elevation of 9,200 feet above sea level, and a top elevation of 10,400 feet.

The lodge is located on the eastern slopes of the Jemez Mountains near Los Alamos.

Pajarito Mountain has 44 trails, 280 ski-able acres (not including the tree skiing), and 1,200 feet of vertical drop — plenty to keep skiers and boarders busy. It boasts six chairlifts including three doubles, one triple, one quad, and one conveyor. Pajarito’s terrain includes miles of groomed trails, bump runs and glade skiing. With its Rio Grande valley views, well-known tree skiing and bump runs, fabulous terrain park, lack of lift lines and fabulous weather, Pajarito may be New Mexico’s best-kept skiing secret!

National Parks - General Information

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.

LOS ALAMOS FARMERS' MARKET

FULLER LODGE ART CENTER

The Los Alamos Farmers' Market began in 1970, making it one of New Mexico's longest-running farmers' markets.

The market's foundational principles are 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.

Cultural Attractions Programs - Ongoing

Nestled in the heart of downtown Los Alamos, this multifaceted hub for art and artists in the community was formed in 1977. Located in the south wing of the historic Fuller Lodge, the Art Center, which is run by the Los Alamos Arts Council, embraces its history, but also looks forward to the future.

This is an approach to justice in which the response is an organized meeting between the victim and the youth offender. This approach aims to provide the offender the opportunity to take responsibility for their actions, to understand the harm they caused, give them an opportunity to redeem themselves, and discourage them from causing further harm.

As a victim, this provides an active role in the process.

Resource Specialist Program The goal of this program is to surround the youth within our Community with the support to empower them to thrive in school and life.

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.
