This pleasant spring afternoon, people walked among the buildings and played frisbee over the arroyo, while a class of young students sat in grass under a spreading tree.The landscaping and surrounding architecture make this a fabulous walk in the middle of the city with amazing views of the Sandias. This is also a birding hotspot, though not on the occasion of my first visit.<\/p>\n<p>I applaud the architects, planners, and builders for this area. However, it was a terrible mistake to allow the AC systems on the back of the building adjacent to this space &#8212; those should be on the roof. This adds unnecessary noise to an area that already suffers from the adjacent Interstate. (Perhaps this should be a requirement of zoning codes.) The smoking area behind one of these building should also be moved &#8212; gag, people, take a walk and stop killing yourselves and the rest of us.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/binged.it\/P1rqEd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"select for Bing Mag\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px;
