The Rio Grande Nature Center State Park is a state park located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A visitor center contains exhibits on the area's riparian environment and a glass-walled library that overlooks a wildlife pond.

Some of the species that reside in the park, temporarily or year-round, include turtles, toads, lizards, bullsnakes, dragonflies, beavers, muskrats, cottontail rabbits, pocket gophers, rock squirrels, coyotes, and numerous birds including Cooper's hawks, great-horned owls, American coots, Canada geese, ring-necked pheasants, mallards, wood ducks, black-capped chickadees, great blue herons, northern flickers and woodpeckers.
