One of the best places to watch the balloons during Balloon Fiesta week. Parking is available if…read moreyou arrive early. This park is just south of the main balloon park so if the wind is right, you get quite a show without the huge crowd. We like to bring chairs and blankets and watch the balloons sail over. Often times the balloons will land in the park, and you can get close to them. The kids enjoy collecting cards from the balloonists once they safely land. There is also a big playground here for the kids, and port o potties.

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.

It's in my regular rotation, because the convenient location and fact that I've never seen it crowded make it easy to stop by, however briefly, when the kids could use some park time. I'd say this play structure is good for preschoolers but kids much older than 5-6 might find it a little boring or tire of it quickly. A great park to stop by on your way home!

The playground equipment is small and not so great for little kids. In the evenings, it is crowded. There is usually someone selling concessions under the shaded picnic tables.

If you saw the news articles about the grand opening you know this is a unique park that includes a wide variety of climbing structures, swings and two thrilling slides as the focal point of the fun. There is also a skating area, splash pad, dog park, a state of the art exercise area for adults and an area for food trucks. There are places to sit while watching the kids. There are two things that need to be pointed out about this public shared space. 1. It is a shared space so hopefully people will clean up after themselves. When we visited today I noticed it was already getting a collection of bottles, cans, plastic snack bags, candy wrappers and even bandages in the wood chips throughout the play area. 2. There is not one trash can in the play area, requiring people to walk outside the play area to find a trash can. While I believe people should make the trip, trash cans must be convienent in order to keep the place clean. I picked up trash I found on the playground but didn't feel comfortable leaving my children unsupervised to go outside the play area to the trash cans...which are a ways away. I hope you find your way to this fantastic park. I hope we can all take care of it so it continues to be an enjoyable experience for all.

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.

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.
