Overlook is one of those multi parks. You have baseball fields, soccer fields, picnic areas, and a beautiful view. I love walking to overlook to unwind after a long week of work and enjoy the beauty around me. When you first enter you can see both the baseball and soccer fields. A little ways down the road is the mini car track where they hold races. If you keep following the road further you will come to a an area where you can park. You won’t be disappointed when you get out and take in the views. There are also trails in the area for both experienced and novice hikers so check them out. You can get maps at the visitor center down the road. Overall everyone, including pets, will enjoy themselves here.

The views here are extraordinary. In addition to the view of White Rock, Black Mesa looms in the distance and the sight of steep canyons carved out of the Rio Grande is simply spectacular. I was on a tour to Bandalier National Monument, when the group stopped here. White Rock Overlook Park features a staggering 270 degree open space view of the beautiful Rio Grande River as it runs along the Jemez Mountains. It kind of reminded me of the Grand Canyon, without all the Japanese tourists. White Rock Overlook Park also has sports grounds, picnic facilities, and hosts an annual Kite Festival. The healthy local economy of White Rock, home to many a Los Alamos employee, has enabled the city to build a playground, five soccer fields, three youth baseball fields, and six softball fields here. The overlook area, from which the park takes its name, is perched on the edge of the recreation area above a huge gorge known as White Rock Canyon. You must first drive through a residential area and past all the sports parks to access the Overlook. Some people have complained online that the Overlook Park is hard to find. There is a Tourist Information Center in White Rock that will be happy to help you find your way to this not-to-be-missed viewing area.
