The city is launching the creation of a new master plan to direct the future of the ABQ BioPark over the next 20 years.

The plan will cover all four of the BioPark’s four attractions — the Zoo, Aquarium, Botanic Garden and Tingley Beach. The process will take about nine months.

“The ABQ BioPark is the crown jewel of our state and city,” said Mayor Richard J. Berry. “We want to take the facility forward so that next generations can enjoy the BioPark, and the master plan will help us do this.”
