Enchanted Hills Park

Park Overview

Situated in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, Enchanted Hills Park is a 9-acre space that's popular with locals. This neighborhood park offers well-kept grounds with mountain views that add to the experience. It's suitable for families seeking outdoor activities or people walking their dogs.

Walking Path

Need a quick outdoor workout? The park offers a 0.21-mile loop on a 4-foot wide asphalt path that's pretty easy to navigate (difficulty grade 2). It's well-suited for a quick morning jog or an evening wind-down walk.

We appreciate how the park combines paved sections with open grassy areas, providing different options for visitors. If you visit early or late in the day, the sunrises and sunsets create nice views against the New Mexico landscape.

Recreational Facilities

Bring your basketball if you're feeling competitive - the basketball courts are waiting for your next game. There's also a large grass field tucked away in the upper section (you won't spot it from Enchanted Hills Boulevard) where local kids and adults practice football and soccer moves without the formality of marked fields.

Got little ones? The recently upgraded playground area is a hit with families. It thoughtfully separates into two sections - a gentler area for the tiny tots and a more adventurous zone for older kids featuring a rock wall and several spinning elements that seem to never get old with the playground crowd.

Dog-Friendly Area

Dog owners will appreciate that The upper field area gives your pup plenty of space to zoom around and burn off energy. Just remember to bring those doggie bags - keeping the park clean means everyone gets to enjoy it.

Amenities

You'll find benches scattered throughout when you need a moment to catch your breath, and a shade structure that offers welcome relief during those sunny New Mexico days.
