The Santa Fe Railyard: A Shopping Experience Not to be Missed
In addition to it’s world class art galleries, Santa Fe is now known as a great shopping and dining mecca! The latest addition to it’s many offerings is the fabulous Santa Fe Railyard.
Located just south of the historic plaza, the Santa Fe Railyard features an eclectic mix of specialty shops/boutiques, both casual and upscale eateries, coffee shops, entertainment spaces, the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market and of course fantastic art galleries. And as a true community space, the Railyard also boasts 13 acres of open space!
Railyard Plaza
The focus of community and social activity, the Plaza is the heart of The Railyard. Its design offers opportunities for special events, temporary performance areas, community gatherings, and every day uses for individual food vendors and performing artists. The area is pedestrian friendly, handicapped accessible and provides drop off zones for elderly and young family members to ensure that like the downtown Plaza, people are able to engage the space in many ways.
The Alameda is the grand pedestrian walkway connecting all activities in The North Railyard. The Alameda begins at Paseo de Peralta and continues north along the Farmers Market where a long shade structure is used by market vendors during the day, and provides a well-lit passageway at night. Across the rail tracks various performance and art venues hint at lively arts and cultural activities inside.
Railyard Park
Developed and built by the Trust for Public Land based on an international design competition won by New York based Ken Smith & Associates, the Park is the green heart of The Railyard and an educational and recreational resource for the City. Every feature of the Railyard Park and Plaza is designed to add to the city’s cherished natural beauty.
