Havasu Park

Park Overview

Set in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, Havasu Park spreads across 7.8 acres as a cherished community hangout and outdoor retreat. This nearby spot offers both a place to gather and enjoy some fresh air and recreation.

The park's landscape features open spaces with an interesting hill that adds some character and dimension. You'll notice that some areas have minimal grass and trees, giving it that authentic New Mexico feel - a bit sparse but beautiful in its own right.

Recreation Opportunities

Winding through the grounds are walking paths that are fantastic for a casual stroll or getting in some steps while enjoying the natural surroundings.

The park features courts where you can shoot some hoops or join a pickup game. These courts are often buzzing with local youth and have become something of a neighborhood hub for both casual players and more serious ballers.

Family-Friendly Spaces

The playground area at Havasu Park is good for kids to burn off energy. Little ones can climb, slide, and let their imaginations run wild in a safe setting designed just for them.

Picnic tables and benches are scattered throughout the park, offering spots to take a breather, enjoy a packed lunch, or simply watch the world go by.

Amenities & Features

The park's BBQ grills let you cook an outdoor meal while enjoying the surroundings.

New Mexico sun can be intense, so the covered picnic areas offer welcome relief on hot days. These shaded spots are ideal for small get-togethers or family meals when you want to enjoy nature without getting scorched.

Pet-Friendly Areas

Dog owners, rejoice! Havasu Park includes a dedicated dog park section where your four-legged friends can run free off-leash. A thoughtful touch is the water fountain with differently sized containers that works for both Great Danes and Chihuahuas alike.

This off-leash area has become something of a canine social club, where dogs can stretch their legs and owners can chat while their pets play and explore.

Accessibility is a priority here too. The park's facilities are designed to accommodate visitors with mobility challenges, ensuring everyone in the community can enjoy what Havasu Park has to offer.
