    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.

    The kids who live in this area are so lucky…read more.. This splash pad may be small, but who cares? It's awesome in 100 degree Fahrenheit weather and... it's free! It's located on the Mills Elementary School campus, but maintained by the City of Hobbs. So it is reclaimed water. Don't drink it! To activate all the water features--including a huge overhead bucket that tips over, pouring cold water onto screaming children--just push down relatively hard on the large yellow button on the northern side. As much as they may want to, tell your kids not to run. My daughter's gooberish friend excitedly ran, slipped, and sliced her leg pretty good on the concrete. Restrooms are nearby. Picnic tables. A gazebo. A small playground. Plenty of street parking or along the fence in the alley. Bring: - towels - sunscreen - foldout chair - bottled water - your phone to do slo-motion water play videos of your crazy kids. Lol.

    It's a small but wonderful Splash Pad-- we went in late afternoon/early evening, and there were…read moreonly two other kiddos there with their adult. There are a number of water features that spray, splash, and soak you, so there is something for everyone. Our favorite was the bucket that fills up and then flips to soak those standing below. We took our late lunch, and ate in at one of the covered picnic tables and watched the kids get wet. Okay, I'll be honest I also joined in the fun. No regrets! I'm giving this four stars because it could use a cleaning of the drains, so the water can flow better and the bathrooms also needed some attention. Overall, though, I recommend. I'm from out of town, and I elsewhere in the country we have to pay to use a small splash pad like this one. Impressed!

This place has a few pitfalls that keep me from not purchasing a yearly membership: First off, the wait to get to where you're going can be a bit much. The lines are a bit confusing as it is. They've since simplified it within the 9 months that I have lived here, but it could be even more simpler. Second, the clientele are less than appeasing. I tend to cause like a sailor, but not in public. It gets old. Amenities: + cardio equipment on the top floor + free weights, plate loaded, and selectorized machines on the bottom floor + gym (the floor is lined for basketball, volleyball, pickleball, four-square & shuffleboard) + indoor track + lap pool + locker room + personal trainer available + racquetball courts (2 available... reservations also available) + splash pad + spa (for ages 13 years & up) + sports programs (adult & youth) + studio & wellness classes + turf (soccer, flag football, ultimate frisbee, & golf) + water slides (4' & taller) My girls have participated in the volleyball classes here which were okay, but not very competitive. Just this past weekend (5/6/2023) I took the to the splash area for the first time area. Even though I declined to swim, I was still charged admission ($4 for the entire day). My 8 & 9-year-olds were charged $3 apiece for entry. In the splash area which is completely indoors, there are two sets of bleachers and multiple individual lounge chairs and side tables scattered all around. Free parking.
