My visit to Las Cruces was brief but worth it. I took I-10 West out of El Paso, Texas in search of pickleball in Las Cruces (a mere 50 minute drive) and was fortunate enough to find it.
Apodaca Park is located at 801 E. Madrid Avenue in beautiful Las Cruces, New Mexico. It has four outdoor courts with permanent nets and lines. The park itself is nice, quiet and has plenty of parking. But you might want to bring your own chairs.
I dropped by on a Wednesday evening and found a wonderful group of people playing pickleball there who were kind enough to let me invade their group. We only played three or four games but I enjoyed it and we had a nice visit. They even invited me for dinner and drinks, but since I had an early flight the next morning and a long drive that evening I sadly declined.
I would love to go back and visit someday. In the meantime, I would definitely recommend Apodaca Park as a place to visit and play a few games.
