Santa Clara is a village in Grant County, New Mexico. The population is recorded as 1,708 during the 2020 census. Today it is a bedroom community for nearby Silver City, which is 8 mile west on US Hiway 180.
The village is working hard to make things happen. The splash park is a summer hit. Other summer activities include Friday night music in the park and movies previewed under the stars. The village has opened up transportation to include off road vehicles. Another progressive project is the restoration of Fort Bayard, and their efforts to enable this historic landmark to become a tourist attraction for the area. A first class 18 hole disc golf course has been recently completed (2023) within the Fort Bayard park. It is a great outing and provides a unique challenge to any player of the sport. |
