Green Meadow Park — Attraction in Hobbs

What a little hidden gem. This park is very nice. It has little pavilions with roofs, overhead to be nice and cool. It has a very large pond that you can fish from shore or from a little deck. This park is not trashy, nor has it been ruined by graffiti.. A lot of people come here to fish. It also has a walking trail all around the pond. The only thing I really wished would happen here is the DNR warden show up on a weekend and check everybody's fishing license. i would be willing to bet that half the people fishing here do not have a license. They are here only to catch everything that was just stocked. And these are grown adults instead of letting children catch them. The adults are out here emptying the pond. There also used to be some fences that we're up to prevent people from driving up to the pond, and I see that a lot of them are broken. So it leaves it open for people to drive right...

There is a nice playground that seems to be regularly occupied by children and provides numerous items. There are a few covered picnic areas and a wooden deck to view the birds from. The park is home to A LOT of ducks and geese that are not aggressive. I did not notice an actual "dog park" but there's quite a bit of "grassy" areas for a dog to run around on. Overall, this is a nice little place to get outdoors for a...

This is our favorite park in town because it has a great little playground for any age, covered picnic tables, plenty of bench seating around play area, restrooms, and the pond itself has a clean and tidy walking path all the way around. Pets are allowed! And there are always families around, so it feels safe, not so isolated as some of the other parks, and there's almost always other children for my own child to play with. It's also not quite so hot during summer as the other parks with wind blowing across the lake. It's also a great park for bird watching or fishing, the NM Game and Fish guys are often nearby checking licensing and are great for advice if you don't have much experiencing...
