This place is great. We have been coming here for years…read more Started with New Years Eve Team ropings about 6 years ago. Now junior rodeos for AJRA. Nice, climate controlled arena. Great dirt. Sometimes its actually a little chilly in the bleachers between the A/C and big fans going. The concessions stand is always good. Big paved parking lot. The stalls for the horses have pavement floors. The can be a little warm in the summer since the barn is pretty well enclosed. They do have fans, but bring your own too! They take reservations and seem to manage it all pretty well. There is also an outdoor arena to use.

Yours truly recently acquired the role of "soccer mom" for the first time ever (3/4/2023)…read more In turn, Jefferson Park became our practice field because 1) it's a free public space & 2) hardly anyone goes here! In Jefferson's defense, it is on the south side of town - meaning it's too far for most Hobbsans to consider - plus it's tucked away in a lesser known area. I used to teach at the elementary nearby over 10 years ago... I don't recall any of this being within short walking distance of the school: + basketball courts + bbq grills + lights + pavilions + picnic tables + playground + restrooms + sand volleyball courts + soccer goals + youth baseball fields (still referred to as Bensing Park) + & a .80-mile walking path I give this city park 4 stars because while it has great amenities, it is not at all debris-free nor is it in a particularly nice neighborhood.

We registered and paid for our son to play back in June. Middle of August my wife visited them to…read moresee why we had not heard anything yet. My wife was told we would receive a call no later then August 24th to tell what team he was on and when practice was. On the 24th at 6 PM we signed my son up for parkour and flag football as we believed he was not getting assigned to a team. At 9PM we received a call from a coach saying that he would have a practice sometime on Monday. We decided we would go get a refund and was told no by the MSA president. Piss Poor Planning on their part IS a problem on our part. One lonely undeserved star for these folks.

The MLK Soccerplex is the premier outdoor soccer complex in Hobbs, NM…read more It's located on the south side of town on the Eunice Highway. The parking can get chaotic because the spots are crowded in some areas. Plus many folks don't take the time to park between the lines. The lanes are also tight. Once on the field, the soccer fields are not marked. So when the soccer league gives you a map, make sure to screenshot it and save it to your smart phone. The fields this year (March/April 2023) could use a bit of deweeding and more grass care. Field H where my daughter plays is fairly uneven & bumpy. Additionally, if it ever rains here, the fields will surely flood as all 8 soccer fields are in this giant pit-like situation. While there are bleachers, they are a bit on the small side. I suggest bringing foldout chairs. There is also the following: + restrooms + BBQ Grill + pavillions + lights + picnic tables + and a concrete walking trail.

Visiting from Houston, Tx The staff here is friendly and the…read moreplace is HUGE! Basketball, pickleball, weights, indoor soccer field, ping pong, and a lot more. I had a great time experiencing most of what yall offered. Can't wait to come back and check out the rest.

The CORE stands for the Center for Recreational Excellence…read more It's a workout facility in the City of Hobbs which is located in the southeast area of New Mexico. 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.
