It is an honor to be squeezed out once spring rolls around so the high school can practice from 4 to 6 PM but otherwise the courts are generally available and well visited. One of the great local pros Amanda runs tenacious groups from 12 to 2 and you can easily learn something by playing in an adjacent court. The rates seem reasonable, and the people all seem to know each other well and enjoy their time together as well as improving, smash his doubles strategy and coming to the net. It's not uncommon to find someone claiming to be the local marshal of the place cleaning up debris and letting the participants know of upcoming schedule changes. I find the nets somehow are always the right height. The active bocce ball and wall climbing chords immediately north of the tennis courts, as well as the birding new swimming complex that has been under construction for at least the last three years make one feel that this is the center of physical activity in North Albuquerque. The people are all very friendly and somewhat competitive. There isn't a lot of dispersion in talent among all the people who play there, but there seems to be a fair amount of good Nature competitiveness and play and I think that is one of the hallmarks of Albuquerque outdoor it seems to me that no matter how much the city has invested its citizens have reaped and 10 times that amount in their enjoyment, their longevity and their cardio

There are plenty of options for people of all ages, including a designated area for dog training and socializing.

On a cool spring May Wednesday morning, my dogs and I had the dog parks entirely to ourselves. The parks were impressively clean and well-maintained during our visit. I definitely plan to return to relive some childhood memories by sliding down that slide for a bit of fun!

Obviously the 2 reviews of this park are outdated. The park has had a complete renovation and is…read morenow a major asset to the neighborhood and Albuquerque. 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.

Tennis complex has bleachers with limited views that are shaded during the right time of day. Parking lot permits tailgate views of the matches too. There's also a toilet facility with two rooms each, but alas, pit toilets, not plumbed. And obviously no sinks for washing hands. At least there's something more than a port-o-potty. At least there's something at 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. 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!

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.

I do apologize if you read this, dear Paradise Hill Park, you are indeed better than three stars,…read moreand I'm doing some soul searching, asking myself how I could rate you so. You are, indeed, covered in green grass, with large open spaces where children might frollic, a smattering of trees line your perimeter, sheltering us from the New Mexico sun, and you offer areas for groups to gather and picnic together, again, a bonus feature pushing your star value upward. And oh how I haven't begun to note your most impressive feature, the skate/bike/scooter park in your belly. Sure, it's not a theme park, but the kids certainly appear to enjoy it, and after you've watched them come and go for a couple of hours it's clear that in this era, the scooter is winning the popularity contest. It's all good, Paradise Hills Park, you're a winner, encouraging people to get some exercise in the heart of a pandemic, offering recreation, connection, and a slice of green on a westside sand dune. I guess I can't really explain this rating I bestow upon you other than to state that meh, I've enjoyed much better.

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!
