Ralph Edwards Park
Ralph Edwards Park is located across from 275 E Riverside between Cedar and Birch. The park entrance is just east of downtown, where Broadway, Austin, and Cedar converge. The park offers shade trees, picnic tables, a gazebo, basketball courts, playground equipment, and a Skateboard Park. The park is named for the host of the "Truth or Consequences" game show.

Healing Waters Trail
The Healing Waters Trail in Truth or Consequences offers walkers a chance to get close to history. The downtown section is indicated by trail markers embedded in the sidewalks—visit an ancient gathering site of native peoples, and tour hot springs that have soothed visitors for decades.

The Veterans Hill segment, set with informational markers and shaded benches, affords sightseers some great views of the Rio Grande and downtown areas. The trailhead is well-marked right on Broadway; look for it at the west end of Veterans Memorial Park, a place for quiet contemplation (at least until Veterans’ Day, when folks come from miles around to take part in activities and ceremonies that honor those who served).
