welcome!
The Netherwood Park Neighborhood Association (NPNA) is the volunteer organization of people living, owning property, and working in the area bounded by Indian School, I-40, Carlisle and the North Diversion Channel. We are a non-profit organization and our mission is to serve the community with news, information, events and community development.
Netherwood Park is a residential neighborhood, mainly single family homes, with some apartments, townhouses, and condominiums. In addition to its two parks, Netherwood and Tennis Club of Albuquerque, One-on-One Fitness, and Full Circle Studio provide opportunities for recreation.
Our neighborhood has a low crime rate, and relatively few threats from, or demands for, development. The neighborhood association is concerned about keeping the neighborhood clean and addressing pressures to develop the North UNM Golf Course.
