    This park has SO very much to offer. The views are awesome. Basketball court, astro turf, playground equipment big enough for the parents to get in on the action, as well as equipment accommodating wheelchairs!!! How awesome is that?!? There are bathrooms, really clean bathrooms, outdoor workout equipment, there's even a bocce ball court! Super sized musical instruments, sandbox with toy construction diggers, plenty of swings, rock climbing apparatus, even a splash pad for the littles. Excellent place to stage a birthday party, I've already had my 8 year old's birthday there and it was a breeze to pull off. There needs to be one of these in every neighborhood in Albuquerque!!! Way to go Rio Rancho, really super impressed with this one!

    WOW!! This place is AMAZING!! All interactive play things, giant musical instruments, splash pad (during summer), swings (even for wheelchair), workout exercises, sand box, basketball court, fake grass throughout, slides, balancing & spinning things & climbing walls, etc. this place is packed with sensory overload!! Not enough shaded areas for the big people but has plenty of sitting areas. Be sure to bring sunscreen! Every time I go it's packed and there's barely enough parking space so you may have to park on the street. Greatly thought out plan includes runaway kid proofed all fenced around area and artificial grass that you can slide down the hills without cardboard (which isn't allowed). There are bathrooms but one for each doesn't seem right for the size?!?! Anyways, this is my new favorite park to go with my monkey with a picnic! Care to join us?

    To the back of the park. - A parking lot with shade canopies, trees, and nearby buildings, under a clear blue sky with some clouds.

    Super nice, clean park with good parking! Friendly people and pups. Not very big and no grass, but still very nice

    This park is a testament to when the actual community comes together a lot of good things come out of it.. A few years ago a group of people in the community cane together & decided to build a park they raised money from donations to build this AWESOME park. Then they handed it over to the city of Rio Rancho to manage & maintain it. If you have kids, this park is a must go to. The park is well planned out, it's sectioned by age, from toddlers to teens. They have a basketball area, swings, the coolest slides, to an Exercise area, an area dedicated to dogs.

    This park will blow ya mind! The best park we've ever seen! The kids loved it! They also have a splash pad to cool off on a hot day! Tons of unique things to play on!!! Clean! Shade structures.

    See all

    I love that this park is gated! Makes me feel better knowing there is somewhat of a barrier for my toddler that likes to run off

    I love that the park is only for small children! So many things to do, ride and play on! No child is left without something to do!
