    Green Meadow Park is located on the northwest side of Hobbs, NM…read more It features a large human-made pond with a walking path upon its perimeter. I brought my daughters here for their first time on 8/27/2022. It was my first time visiting the City-maintained park in over ten years. While it has some new-to-me features, I think that in the coming years there could be some major improvements. There was ample parking. On a sidenote, when we were there, two large dogs were not on leashes playing fetch with their owners. My dog is no longer around, so I often walk my brother's pitbull and want to start walking my other brother's German Shepherd... good dog owners know where I'm going with this. Just be careful when going to any park with your dog in this town. The "let's all win, toss it in the bin" campaign certainly seems to help keep waste off the ground. Here, it's printed on large signs with trash cans spread throughout the park. Much appreciated! Now if we could just get all of the morons to stop throwing trash out their car windows... TIP + The Hobbs Farmers Market is held every Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM at Green Meadows Park.

    This us a very nice clean park to take your family. New playground equipment , large pond with…read moreducks and geese. You can also fish there. Clean restrooms which is a plus!

    *** Updated review ***…read more Today is February 7, 2023. For months, I've been documenting the lack of care that Del Norte Park has been getting. The photos I've collected of the same stuff over and over again is pathetic. Needless to say, this place could use a lot more maintenance and attention than it has been getting. There are several solutions to these problems. It is my observance that no one from the City of Hobbs is taking initiative. Sure, they empty the multiple regular tan-colored bins that they have. Sometimes they pick up trash. Sometimes they fill holes that the prairie dogs have created. But there's a lot more to be done. Does the city think people don't use the parks during the winter? I do. Five days a week at this one, at least. The weather was warm the past two days. Today it is cold again. If there's anything parents should have learned through the pandemic, it's that their kids need to be OUTSIDE more. Why would I bring my kids and their cousins here if it is unkempt and trashy? Since September, tire rubber has not been swept off the sidewalk (most likely a**hole kids with their mommy & daddy's money doing burnouts). Since October, the dog waste bins have not been emptied. Since forever, drinking in the parking lots has been rampant. (Legitmate question: WHY do folks, i.e. most likely underaged users, drink from glass bottles then smash them everywhere? Maybe more trash cans need to be set up there???) I guess there are other priorities for law enforcement to enforce, however, the broken glass everywhere (not exaggerating as it has been getting worse and worse since December 2022) should be swept up every week. They haven't been. I have to navigate my brother's dog around the sidewalk in hopes that she doesn't get any pieces stuck in her paws. An assumed drug addict was digging in the red bricks one day... Then the next day the bricks were moved around. For weeks after that incident, the dog sniffed the area where this person was digging and carving away. How about, oh I don't know, re-mortar them? Golly this is neverending... Alas, I go here almost everyday. I have a house in the city limits. It's so frustrating to see a lack of pride not to mention virtually no security. Nowadays, most parks have cameras and security driving around. This one hardly any cameras. Never seen security here in my life. But what good would they do if no one follows through with efficiency? Whenever the temperature is less than 50°F, the city workers are often seen just sitting in their trucks with the engine running. "Well, you don't know what they're doing." Right. Well, I also know what they're not doing with a "City of Hobbs" emblem on the side of their white pickups. Trash in the trees and all over the ground. Invent some easy-to-use wind proof trash bins already! The surrounding neighborhoods are not appeasing. They are downright unsightly. Does that mean the park doesn't need care? No. I've seen many loose dogs here. Had to re-route my path because I don't want any of them to f*** with my brother's pitbull (or as former Navy SEAL Mike Ritland prefers to call the breed, "bulldog"). We walk here because it's safer than walking the streets. Reference in point: "Two people, dog killed in hit-and-run" from front page of Hobbs News-Sun (2/7/2023). This has been happening frequently in Hobbs. Moreover, this incident happened a couple of blocks from this park albeit in an unlit area after sunset. Still, the dude was caught and later said he thought they were a dog or a deer. The dog was, in fact, a pitbull. With such distracted drivers, I was hoping Del Norte could be a sanctuary away from the insanity. Not particularly so, but the potential is still there. My tax money helps pay for the maintenance and security of this park. There are no good excuses in this whole scenario. Please give residents reasons to RAVE about Del Norte instead of this nonsense.

    Jack Carr, a former Navy SEAL, author, and all-around bad ass - said this back in May 2022, "My…read more[16-year-old] daughter and I will be going to Normandy for the D-Day events and commemorations there." By no means does the Hobbs Veterans Memorial Park possess anywhere near the past and signifance that Normandy does. Still, I walked with one of my young daughters there recently (3/22/2023) to discuss the reason behind veteran memorials and the impact that history has had on us Americans. She is currently 8-years-old & seemed to have grasped these stories very quickly. In Lea County alone, there are "over 8,000 veterans." There are a few in my family. Our neighbors. Our friends. So I think it's important that my children understand freedom comes with a heavy price. Every parent should explain this to their family even if they don't agree with or like the past. In order for us to not repeat the bad events, we have to examine history. We have to be prepared at all times. Moving onto this particular site... There is a small parking lot at no charge. Features of this memorial include: + a large brick sign + flags of America (fly, baby fly!), New Mexico, and POW MIA in addition to all of the United States Armed Forces + F-105 fighter jet used during the Vietnam War + military chopper (I couldn't find any info on its history) + markers honoring each branch of the military & several wars in which the U.S. was involved + 2 placques "in appreciation to the men & women" who served on the Hobbs Army Air Field - which is approximately where the memorial sits today There are a number of individuals to express my gratitude for this, but for now I will say thank you, District 5 City Commissioner and United States Army Veteran Dwayne Penick, for your vision and for helping this dream come true. Thank you Hobbs native and former U.S. Congressman Steve Pearce for locating the jet which was apparently "delivered at no cost to the city." Also, thanks to Wilbanks Trucking Inc. for transporting and setting up the jet on display.
