Things To Do
So much to do and so little time...

Fishing - The Rio Grande is stocked several times a year by the New Mexico Department of Fish and Game. Rainbow Trout is one of the possible catches of the day.
 

Tennis/Handball/Park - Immediately south of the Village Hall complex (6718 Rio Grande Blvd. NW ) lies Hartnett Park, a fully developed facility comprising four acres. Open until dusk, this park incorporates a playground, tennis courts, outdoor handball courts, and a jogging/pedestrian trail. All are available to the public on a first come - first serve basis. As several soccer teams practice here, you may be able to catch a game sometime. No alcoholic beverages are allowed.
