Its a nice marker but the city could manicure the grounds better.

The dog park/ dog friendly area is really big with a very high fence. Kind of unfortunate that it’s all paved (my dog only really likes to run around in the grass). But it’s the only dog park type area in Taos.

Amazing place for the kids the playground is gorgeous and theres a picnic tables around the park.

Stunning park, held some amazing concerts here!

We visited Taos and Kit Carson Park for a Sting concert and were very impressed. Having never been to the park before, we were told that the Sting concert was something of an anomaly. Normally, the events are much more laid back, less crowded and that would have been nice. As you can imagine, Sting attracts serious numbers. (The youngest people in the park were the very nice police officers.) However, this should be a review of the park, not the concert. Kit Carson Park is conveniently located in Taos. Its spacious, offers shade but limited seating in the form of a few picnic tables and benches. Its obviously a park that is dedicated to public events, most particularly concerts and arts festivals, with wide open spaces and of course the very commanding stage at one end. The park was well staffed with friendly folks to handle the crowds and there were plenty of portable bathroom units on hand. I do have to say that the wine and beer selection is limited and not particularly notable. In fact, the wine was barely potable but the night was still fun. And there I go, reviewing the event again. Sorry. The park is an ideal place for events such as this and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it or to go again. Next time though, well shoot for a smaller event.

Historic park needs maintenance but overall good

Great picturesque city park in a special little town.I only dropped a star because of the closed facilities due to COVID (restroom was not only closed and locked, but also in need of paint and upkeep that very obviously predated the COVID period.)

Nice park history stop off in Taos.

Its not very well kept up.For example, the tennis courts have now been designated as a dog park because the courts are in such bad condition I think its just an easier and more cost-effective solution rather than fixing them and maintaining nets.The rest of the paths are not in superb shape either.I must say that I did enjoy using the tennis parts for my dog Gracie to play with another dog.Im staying in the heart of downtown so this park is very convenient.

Nice, there are several outdoor picnic tables that you can use.

Bathrooms were still closed. Broken bottles and trash and graffiti in the gazebo. Beautiful grounds though.

Great little slice of history for the history buffs

Great park with shade trees for a break from shopping and sightseeing in Taos. Large pavilion for gatherings.

We were here for Taos Vortex and it was super. Probably the best location for a festival in the middle of one of the most beautiful towns in NM. Great people, friendly place, great food, art. Everything.

Beautiful and peaceful place place to hike or picnic. Just bring plenty of water.

Michael Hearnes Big Barn Dance was at Kit Carson Park. It was fantastic! We will be back next year!

Wonderful open space with a playground, basketball and volley ball courts, etc. Love the cemetery.

Beautiful place to take your pets or children

Its nice to see the grass growing back

Lovely lil park with friendly locals

Nice place to take walks and enjoy a lesure day

Great park for dogs and picnic tables with grill nearby.excelent spot. Keep it safe and clean. Tanko Taos

Such a great park! We had the delight of seeing it set up for the Easter Egg Hunt which was wonderful. Our dogs loved the fenced-in off-leash area at the old tennis court. Be sure to close the gate and have a laugh watching your pups. Overall a lovely park to stroll through.

Older memorial park that could use some upgrades and general maintenance. i thought it wasn’t appropriate for young adults to be hanging out and partying in the historic kit carson cemetery tho

We went to the fiber festival there & it was crowded. I love the fiber, talking to the sellers & purchasing it but it was so crowded, I had a difficult time doing that. Next year we may go on Sunday. There was a shearing demonstration & spinning with spindles & a wheel. Thers fiber from every animal you can get fiber from including camels & buffalo. There was food and drinks but nowhere to sit & eat it. All in all it was a good time.

Great Community Based!

We went to the park to see the Mavericks and Dwight Yokum. I dont have much of a review about the park but was disappointed by the set up of the music event. We got to the venue at 4:30 and waited in line, finally got in at 6:45. Missed the first band. The gates didnt open until 5:30 and there was 6000 people attending. They needed to open the gates earlier.

Excellent 4th of July celebration 2019

This park is mostly used for events these days, but its well maintained for that purpose. There are also areas in the back for picnics and small get-togethers. Overall, its a nice park.

Nice to see the grass growing back

Best park. They have so much held here. And they have people that pick up after people that dont know what trash cans are. Vortex was held hear and so was the wool Festival

Great place to have a picnic.

A beautiful place for a wool festival. If only the grass were better maintained so that there wasnt quite so much mud....

Unbelievable! Not one mosquito or bug bite in the middle of summer after a 5 hour concert in the park. Thank you! The new stage and sound system are superb!

Years ago I use to display my solar display at the Solar Music Festival. I have been to many shows at the park including art, craft shows, automobile and music shows. The wool festival in the fall is well worth seeing as are all the shows throughout the year. The park sits in downtown Taos and was once the Mamby residences English garden. There is a cemetery at the south east side of the park where Kit Carson is buried. The park is a good size park and is a great place to sit under the trees and read or have a picnic. The park is family friendly.

Only have a tennis court area for dogs, but great walking trail!

Interesting stop in Taos. Many historical gravesites just off the downtown square.

Wow, had the best time watching and listening to Sting. Amazing weather for an amazing artist! Love Sting.

There is playground for kids. A long walking trail, a great place to take your dogs on a leash to walk around the park. Theres also a couple historic areas you find as you walk the path. And they hold free festivals or Musical shows here. And then amazing Fourth of July celebration free for everyone. This is a multi-use park, whether you want to walk the trails or curl up on a tree and read a book. It is right in the middle of town close to a lot of the hotels.

It was a nice sunny day and the friends with me wanted to take a picnic out to the park. Numerous trees gave us shade to sit in to eat our picnic, it was very nice as the grass was being mowed and that wonderful smell of fresh mowed grass wafted through the air filling our minds with the memories of childhood.

Went to see Los Lobos and Mavericks in the rain. Great park, but a little small and wet.

Now mostly used as music venue. This once nice park is now used as a Town revenue asset rather than a nice place for residents and guests. Find a safer place fo walk your dogs!

There for a music festival & it was the best. Dont know about general park amenities.

Had a great time on the 4th at the concert. Park is okay, but a little down at heels. Restrooms closed, but they brought in trailer toilets that were nice and clean.

Went to stables gallery to attend the showing of the works of the summer students and sale for the oo-oo-nah art center. The showing has now moved to the art center on the Pueblo. Go by and check it out on Thursday and Saturday. Great place to get early Christmas, birthday or any occasion gifts.

Not much of a park. They had a really really really loud concert there when we were there. The cemetery is very interesting.

Sting concert...was awesome!! Relaxed atmosphere.

I will not go to a concert there again if they dont let you bring a chair. There was lawn seats only, and could only bring a blanket for Sting concert

Pretty park if you are a history buff stop by the cemetery.

This place is great for music and other events, we like coming here.

Love this park

Lots of picnic tables. Meandering trails. Nice shelter.

Nice place to meet and also have gatherings with your friends

Visited during Wool Festival event. Nice venue.

Picnic area was reserved and kept clean. Had a good time at the softball field

Beautiful area! Badass music scene.

This is a great park for the locals, however I go there for the historical content the fact that Kit Carson is buried there. I highly recommend.

Good park overall but had a lot of drifters out front and two guys decided that a childrens park is a good place to get their shirtless workout in

Attended the annual Michael Hearnes Big Barn Dance!

I always meet interesting people here, and its a perfect place for quiet contemplation, too, on complicated history. Beautiful setting.

Great park for the annual mothers day music festival.

Great concerts, movies on big screen durring summer, awesome good time grateful for this place...

Large park compared with small little arts town Taos. I like old tall trees

I was raised at Kit Carson Park- a beautiful park with huge trees- basketball courts- playground- cemetery-a huge field- right in the middle of town- a special place to me

Great venue, open and green space for events and personal space

Beautiful park, great for walking

Beautiful park with playground, tennis courts vb sand courts, concert venue, dog park etc...

Nice park, nice little play area for the kids. Is rather unique to be surrounding a cemetery. I love all the greenery here, lots of trees.

This park needs some work... Lots of homeless people, although they didnt bother me they hovered around my son and I. Half the park was taped off, so hopefully they are updating. Thought a nice town like Taos would have great parks...

We had a cookout in one of the pavilions. Nice and clean with ample waste receptacles. Also, plenty of seating for our large group.

The park is moderate at best ArcheAge three separate areas all of them low-quality with no public restroom

Great location, fun, clean park.

A fun place lots of restrooms fenced-in childrens playground dog friendly with leash. Movies on the Green free to the public parking could be better but if you get to your event early youll be alright.

Fun but the playground was too hot to play on for the kids

Kit Carson park is a a large park in the heart of Taos. It has nice strolling trails and a large open grass field. There is more than enough room for improvement in upkeep.

The park used to be a quiet shady spot in the heart of Taos where people would walk dogs, practice soccer, and spend time with family and friends. It has been the home of the Taos Wool Festival of 35 years. Unfortunately, it seems like some of the town leadership is determined to turn it into a for-profit concert venue and push the people out of their park. Sad.

Went to the wool festival and everything was superior

Town spent a bunch of money for the stage to host superstar concerts but wont spend a dime to upgrade the park...

Sting concert was amazing!! Great sound, food and crowd!!!

Free concert with War. Love it.

Sting at Kit Carson, not to shabby at all!!! Never forget the memories of our time!!

Beautiful home town park.

It is pretty. It was a beautiful day to wonder

They opened gates 1/2 hour prior to concert. Due to the amount of people going in, it took us 1 & 1/2 hours to get in. We missed the opening act. Then there was high back chairs and umbrellas in front of us.. they werent prepared for that large of a crowd. I would never attend anything at this park.

Kinda shady.

Its a nice park it has baseball fields and playground

Beautiful park

Saw Alabama Shakes here and they were phenomenal! As for the venue: its easy to get out and in. Very casual and chill. The lines to get booze were very long, but sometimes thats a good thing. Food trucks were adequate. Good sound and a pretty amazing outdoor stage. There was free parking at the courthouse, which was about a mile from the show. Closer than that, some places wanted $20 to park for the evening. If youre attending a big show in Taos book your hotel rooms early (as in the day you buy the concert ticket), everything will sell out.

Loved it

Great location with plenty of activities for the whole family

I am an American Indian and Kit Carson was made an American hero because of his exploits in killing Indians. The fact that there is a park named after him in the very region where he did most of his killing is a slap in the face of todays American Indians and a testament to the idea that America is proud of their violent and merciless hisyory. I only gave it one star so I could write this review, it really doesnt deserve any stars. Besides, it was under construction and noisy with the sound of traffic.

Need to open full park earlier in the summer, no place to park so we left

Old Historic Park nice big trees. But they dont really maintain it very well the roads are all crumbling the parking lots are too small good luck finding a parking space for the Lilac Festival

Basketball with my dog, good times

3 day festival @! Very nice!!

Very clean park

Great park with awesome community events

Always fun! Friendly people.

I dont like that people walk theyre dogs in the cemetery, very disrespectful...

So much room for activities!
