Opened originally in 1892 as Arlington Park, Alamo Placita Park is known for perfectly designed floral displays on one end and a playground and picnic area in the other.

The southern section of the park consists of a formal flower garden that can be reached by sandstone steps. Beds of colorful annual and perennial flowers stretch from a tangle of junipers in the center. Each corner of the garden has a specimen juniper surrounded by a walkway and a dense thicket of spruce and pine. A walkway connects the colorful formality of the southern section of the park with the recreational segment north of 3rd Avenue, with basketball courts and a playground. There is a paved square with benches and a sundial surrounded by a grove of cottonwood. Beyond this section is a wide expanse of lawn surrounded by a grove of flowering shrubs, pine, maple, and spruce.
