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.

My oldest daughter started at Aka To Kuro Martial Arts School in April 2023…read more Just this past weekend (9/23/2023) she participated in her first ever karate tournament. Not only was it that she did so well that pleases me, but how much fun she had... How much respect she has gained for her sensei, her student instructors, and this form of martial arts... how much she has learned from karate. I would highly recommend this program for children as young 5-years-old on up to teenagers. They have a travel team that competes around the country. Fundraising is a critical component for the travel squad. I appreciate how involved the various programs (levels) are within the community and Lea County. Each group prays and recites the Pledge of Allegiance before practice. Their facility just keeps getting better and better. In October, ATK will be celebrating their 7th anniversary! This review aggrandized ATK, but rightfully so. Hobbs should be very proud of this business. I'm a fan!

You know you're getting old when you still refer to places as they were several years ago…read more Formerly referred to as Ocotillo Golf Course, Rockwind Community Links located at the north end of Hobbs, New Mexico. Other than an issue I had with some chick in the Pro Shop who was totally clueless and later hung up on me, I have never had any problems with any of the staff here. When I was a kid, I loved taking golf lessons out here. It's always been a nice course. Now that I'm a parent of upper elementary grade students, I've had the pleasure of being around the staff and coaches who facilitate the "First Tee" kid's program. Not only do they stress the importance of fun and fundamentals, but at the end of each session they discuss pillars pertaining to character and sportsmanship like respect and responsibility. My 9-year-old is getting a bit bored with it, but she has learned a lot about this great game. If you're not into golf like many wives seem to be - have a few drinks and apps or a light lunch at the Rockwind Grill. There is indoor and outdoor dining available. Also nearby to keep anti-golfers occupied are the following: + CORE (Center of Recreational Excellence) + Hobbs Veterans Memorial + Lovington Highway Health Walk (concrete walking path parallel to Highway 18) + McAdams Park + New Mexico Junior College + University of the Southwest + Western Heritage Museum and Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame + Zia Park Casino Hotel & Racetrack This course often allows fundraisers throughout the year - so proud of my community for that.

Epic course. Great service and even faster greens. Book in advance as it can get backed up. I've…read morebeen coming here for years but forgot I can write reviews. Nice pro shop and a great bar with great food. I'll be back when they don't have tournaments throughout half the week.

For my daughter's 12th birthday back in July 2025, we had a great party at Space Jump!…read more I splurged because she's worth it and because she is growing up so fast. I wanted her, her cousins, sister, and other family and her friends to just be kids for a couple of hours. My package ($295) included a party room, 10 jumpers plus their special required socks, and two pizzas. They offered me a $100 off discount! I ended up buying a few more pizzas, drinks, admission, and socks for other family members (overgrown kids LOL), but it was so worth it for the smiles on their faces. My daughter was gracious and said she'd remember it forever. We'll see about that, but I got photos to prove it too. TIPS + They respond better by phone as opposed to email if you have questions or add-ons! + My personal room assistant, Karely, was super friendly and efficient! Thank you!

Great for kids to burn off energy. Jump area is well monitored by staff and never had a problem…read morewith staff or other jumpers. A little pricey for trampoline parks but being the only one in the area it isn't bad. Party prices are reasonable but you can't bring in outside food, except for a cake.

The Ziaplex is a softball and baseball complex on the east side of Hobbs, NM…read more Adult softball games used to take place here. I'm not in a league anymore, but I have many great memories playing slo-pitch with all the old farts. Lol. Little league baseball games continue to be played out here. It's a good thing because there are 4 fields with the all 4 backstops back-to-back against one another. Kevin Naegele and Kevin Wells are two historical figures we should give thanks to for these fields. Dogs, except service dogs, are not allowed. Restrooms are available. Ample, free parking is also available, but they ask that RVs, trucks with trailers and other big rigs not park in the lot. I seem to recall my dad parking out on the street when he had his long trailers. This complex is taken care of by the City of Hobbs, therefore, it is usually well-kempt.

Zia Cheer is a gymnastics center located in south Hobbs, NM…read more It's near the Boys & Girls Club. On a normal basis, their Facebook page explains that they are "a place where passion meets skill, where every individual, regardless of their starting point, could embrace the joy of cheer & tumbling while improving their abilities." But they also host party events! My future niece had her fifth birthday party here today, February 7, 2026. The hostess was super friendly and accommodating. There was ample parking all around the building. Although I am unsure of all the fees and deposit information, all participating guests had to sign a waiver - or rather their parents signed on their behalf. What a fun place for a kid's birthday party!

I've been to a few events over the past few years at the Hobbs Country Club…read more The service has always been nice - including the hostesses, bartenders, and wait staff. The catering has been surprisingly on point too. Today, April 4, 2026, was my cousin's baby shower. I know right? A baby shower at a country club? But it's actually a great venue to celebrate the future bundle of joy. There's ample parking. Clean restrooms. A variety of spaces to utilize if your budget calls for it. The place does need to consider replacing some of the rolling chairs and other furniture at least in the room we were in. One of the wheels was wonky on one chair, then the chair I exchanged it for had an arm that was lifting out of place. Will I ever golf here? Who knows, but it is nicer than several other courses in the county.

The kids who live in this area are so lucky…read more.. This splash pad may be small, but who cares? It's awesome in 100 degree Fahrenheit weather and... it's free! It's located on the Mills Elementary School campus, but maintained by the City of Hobbs. So it is reclaimed water. Don't drink it! To activate all the water features--including a huge overhead bucket that tips over, pouring cold water onto screaming children--just push down relatively hard on the large yellow button on the northern side. As much as they may want to, tell your kids not to run. My daughter's gooberish friend excitedly ran, slipped, and sliced her leg pretty good on the concrete. Restrooms are nearby. Picnic tables. A gazebo. A small playground. Plenty of street parking or along the fence in the alley. Bring: - towels - sunscreen - foldout chair - bottled water - your phone to do slo-motion water play videos of your crazy kids. Lol.

It's a small but wonderful Splash Pad-- we went in late afternoon/early evening, and there were…read moreonly two other kiddos there with their adult. There are a number of water features that spray, splash, and soak you, so there is something for everyone. Our favorite was the bucket that fills up and then flips to soak those standing below. We took our late lunch, and ate in at one of the covered picnic tables and watched the kids get wet. Okay, I'll be honest I also joined in the fun. No regrets! I'm giving this four stars because it could use a cleaning of the drains, so the water can flow better and the bathrooms also needed some attention. Overall, though, I recommend. I'm from out of town, and I elsewhere in the country we have to pay to use a small splash pad like this one. Impressed!
