Albuquerque Park and APS Facilities Rules and Restrictions

Albuquerque City Field Usage Rules

The following rules apply to City Parks and APS Facilities:

  1. NO PRACTICING IN THE GOAL MOUTHS - NO PUTTING UP NETS ON GOALS. VIOLATION IF THIS COULD LEAD TO YOUR REMOVAL FROM THE PARK.
  2. Pick up trash after all games and practices. Please take your trash with you so that you don’t over fill the trash cans at the parks.
  3. Do not park in driveways or bolck mail box deliveries. Be respectful of neighborhoods surrounding the fields.
  4. Park on the park side of the street first before parking in front of the neighbors’ houses.
  5. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in City parks. Glass containers are not allowed in City parks.
  6. Never ask park residents for water or to use their bathrooms.
  7. Keep dogs leashed at all times. Clean up after your pets.
  8. Discontinue play in lightning, heavy rain or when there is standing water on the field.
  9. Soccer and football teams should play in the middle of the field. T-ball teams should remain in the corners of the fields.
  10. Be respectful of other teams on the field, sharing is mandatory.
  11. If an APS field is being watered during your practice or game time, PLEASE - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT THE WATERING SYSTEM. This has been done in the past by others (not AYSO), resulting in the loss of the field and several thousand dollars worth of damage.
  12. If there are other teams on your field, try to share equally whether they are AYSO teams or teams from other leagues.

If you have any questions, please contact the Field Scheduler.

Special Rules for APS Fields

From time to time AYSO teams interfere with after-school programs. In all cases, the school program comes first. They usually end at 5:00 and we can use the fields after that. Under no circumstances should any AYSO coach tell an APS group to vacate the field or move.

Baseball Backstops at Fields

Our agreement with the City includes a compromise with baseball (Little League, etc.). If your practice field has a backstop, it may be occupied in the Spring on Monday, Wednesday and Friday by a baseball team. If that happens, your practice needs to be switched to Tuesday/Thursday. If this doesn't work for you and you need to move, check the practice field program for other options.
