    A beautiful park. But a misleading message for the disabled…read more The park celebrates allowing children of all abilities to play. This is portrayed in pictures and sculptures. BUT, when we visited to use the wheelchair swings (a rarity in lots of places) - the swings were chained down and there was a sign with a phone number that said to call to have them unlocked. Unfortunately, we had driven almost an hour exclusively to visit this park only to find out you have to call to have the swings unlocked. The saddest part is that they are chained to the ground. So, then you are standing (sitting rather) looking at the possibility for fun, but you cannot use them. Long story short, no one came to unlock the swings although we called multiple numbers. (It makes sense that the swings would be locked as they could potentially be dangerous if someone where to misuse them or leave the ramp down and an able bodied child trip over them. But if this park is going to have a major aspect of its marketing be about inclusion then shouldn't there be a person present at all times to unlock one of the few features that is truly accessible? Let's face it the child with disabilities can't realistically use the slides and various other items able bodied kids can, so perhaps the approach to the swings should be re-evaluated). The park is so beautiful and really looks like a lot of fun for children and families. It is clean and spacious. There is a nice walking path around it. There is a water feature for kids who want to get out of the heat. There is exercise equipment which is accessible. There is even an area for dogs if you insist on bringing yours (although most of the park is off limits to dogs). This park looks great for both adults and children. It is also secured with safety latches on the gates so kids can't accidentally escape. Had we known one had to call ahead we would have. Thus, this is a cautionary tale. The park is fabulous BUT IF YOU NEED ACCESSIBILITY CALL FIRST.

    I have been to this park a handful of times. The first time was to drop my daughter off to…read morevolunteer setting the park up. After that, we enjoyed birthday parties there and an occasional trip to the park. As my kids have grown I really haven't had a chance to go to A Park Above but it is a great park to take anyone to.

    Haynes park is beautiful and has a lot of space! The restrooms smelt disgusting but besides that…read moreeverything was very clean including the pool and slide. The only problem I didn't like to much is they do not allow any floats or life jackets for children and it is a children swimming pool. Besides that we still had a good time the life guards where very attentive and on top of watching all the children. I recommend it just make sure you are ready to watch your child the whole time!

    I love parks. That's right. Parks, schools, libraries, and cafes should be the center of all cities…read morein our great Country. Exercise and recreation is incredibly important. In general, the Parks and Recreation Department in Rio Rancho does a phenomenal job of keeping the parks clean and offering classes for all ages. Haynes Park is is one of the largest and busiest parks in the area. For good reason. In addition to the swimming pool, individuals have the opportunity to play tennis, basketball, toss horseshoes, or simply take a stroll on their walking paths. Haynes also has a huge field which is utilized for organized youth sports, but is usually available for an impromptu game of soccer, football, or my favorite park pastime...frisbee. The well established park also has several huge trees that provide shade to the barbecue goers or parents watching their little ones exude happiness on the playground.
