About this Location

Located at 8060 Academy Rd NE in the vibrant northeast heights of Albuquerque, this facility operates primarily as an accessible surface parking area serving the local business and commercial corridor. The lot features an open-air layout that accommodates standard passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, and pickup trucks with ease.
