    My favorite park in Henderson! It's a great place to get some exercise and spend time in nature. I was there yesterday and I saw at least 50 turtles in the water along with ducks and geese. The restrooms are usually clean and there are lots of other amenities like covered picnic areas, basketball courts, and an exercise station. If you're looking for a peaceful spot to spend some time outside, this is it!

    The Cambridge Dictionary defines cornerstone as something of great importance that everything else depends on. Additionally, the One Health approach recognizes that the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems are interconnected. Protect public lands!

    A very nice community park offering many desirable attractions including such things as: parking, walking trails, basketball courts, fitness workout area, restroom facility, kids play area, picnic areas, and a man-made water feature that attracts birds, ducks, geese, and even seagulls! There was a small farmer's market in the parking lot when we visited the park. Surprised to see road runners. Even more surprised to have the roadrunners checking us out while we were walking by. They got rather close too; about 10 feet away. Seagulls flying around too.

    Oh Cornerstone, a special place in my heart you hold. As a runner in Vegas it's hard to find somewhere flat to do intervals, threshold, etc. and while the loop isn't necessarily flat, it makes for a great running location. This is largely due to the giant body of water that includes various bird species year round. The trail around the water is well maintained and half of it has a dirt section which is lovely. The staff do a good job of keeping the bathrooms as clean as you can at an outdoor park. There is also basketball ball courts, a fitness center, and volleyball courts next to the bathrooms. Another big plus is that there is virtually no homeless people or trash compared to some of the other parks on the area. This park is also connected by the Union Pacific railroad trail and the Pittman Walsh trail which are bike trails that go for miles! If you're in Vegas for a weekend and wanna keep up with your running I highly recommend you make your way to cornerstone

    Park has poop bags if you forget to bring one

    Nice clean park. Park has plenty of tables just in case you and your family decide to have a picnic.

    Amazing park! There is a ton of parking and just the size of the park is huge. There were turtles and ducks in the water to look and enjoy while walking around. The park also has seating and tables if you want to enjoy a nice snack or meal there. If you are walking around the water in the summer there is not really much shade so make sure to bring a ton of water if you are going to walk while it is hot.

    Great park to walk around the water or relax in green valley. Currently the Earth's Harmonies Art Installation is on display. Great for birders as well!

    Absolutely recommending Cornerstone Park for anyone who wants to get more steps done in their life. I definitely enjoy walking around this park, especially during the cooler weather. The park is well taken care of, always clean! The trees and bushes and all plants are trimmed both by the walking path and by the lake. The walking paths, the bathrooms, ballpark, picnic areas and parking areas are well lit at night time. The park is open from 6 am to midnight! There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy here, especially in the weekend when there is a Farmer's Market, or some fun activities such a fundraiser event for a local charity or community event for all ages. Please check their website or a poster calendar for any events or activities!

    Nice and clean running path! Beautiful scenery! Love the little bunnies running around! Bathroom was clean and seemed safe.

    I got to check out the parks display for Memorial Day to honor our fallen! Love this!! Thank you for remembering what this day is for. Too bad so many have forgotten and take advantage of the freedoms we have in this country! God bless our troops! Thank you is never enough.

    Get fit!

    This is definitely a great park that takes you out of the normal element of Vegas/Henderson. It has a lovely lake that I actually hope they clean up a bit more, and add some more scenery to. This location definitely has more potential to be an actual paradise. Overall it is a nice place with some solitude to clear your mind and enjoy the day with the ducks that live here, and also the friendly people walking their dogs and getting their workout on...as me and wifey do ourselves. I definitely recommend this park if your looking for a different setup and a change to your walk or just to relax and hang out. God bless

    Definitely one of my favorite places in the valley. It's got a beautiful track with a few "trails" that go around it. People are friendly and it's a great place to bring your dog or partner for a nice peaceful walk, in a little bit of kinda nature, in the heart of the burbs.

    Ask the Community - Cornerstone Park

    Parking is close for old people?

    Yes! There's ample handicap parking as well as plenty of normal parking that stretches across the west side of the park. Most of the parking is only two rows deep so no matter where you park it's a short walk to a sidewalk that connects to the rest… 

    Are there grills?

    Yes, there are grills.

    Are the rims on the basketball courts?

    Yes

    Is there fishes in that water? And if so. Can you fish?

    There are fish, but no fishing allowed

    What is the distance of the trail for one lap?

    Approximately 1.25 miles

    Hello, I'm new to Vegas. I want to bring my puppies and go fishing for sport. Do the have fishing? Even to cast a line it gets my puppies attention 😊

    Unfortunately No fishing is permitted

    Can I let my dogs swim here?

    No one is allowed in water

    Is it possible to fish here?

    No.

    Can you grill your own food at the park? And if so what do you need to bring?

    Yes they have picnic areas with BBQ's so you can just bring coals and food! You could either contact henderson parks dept. to reserve a spot or just go. Every single time I have been there, there is BBQ's available.

    Are we allowed to use Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUP) or kayaks at this lake?

    No. They have signs posted stating no water activity.

    Can you fish here?

    There is fish in the lake but you can not fish, since the water is not fit for human consumption

    Could you please let me know where there might be a charming place to get some good coffee/tea or other non-alcoholic beverages near the park?

    There's a brand new Starbucks less than a half mile from the park

    I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the Boulder Beach Campground. We were looking…read moreto escape the already hot temperatures of Las Vegas on a Friday night in early May, 2024. Reservable campsites on cooler Mount Charleston were already taken, so we decided to go to explore Lake Mead. The campground was just minutes from Las Vegas and Henderson. The campground sites offered large sites with paved parking, picnic tables, fire pits, and close proximity to well-maintained and clean restrooms (flush toilets, sinks, running water. No showers). We were dry camping in a Class B RV -- so no hookups -- but the campground had plentiful water spigots and lots of sun to charge our solar panels. There was a mix of campers - from those tent camping to others in large RVs. What was particularly nice was that there was some vegetation -- trees which provided some shade and flowering desert bushes. Our site also had a lovely view of the lake, which was about a 20-minute walk from the campground. (We did not walk down to the beach but others reported that it's rocky). There's a Visitor's Center for the recreation area just a few miles down the street. We spoke with the knowledgable and friendly park rangers, watched a park film, picked up some literature, and bought a few souvenirs.

    Stopped for the night. Dry camping. Full hookups on the other side. Beautiful views of Lake Mead…read more Store on the full hookup side. Hoover dam visitor center not far away. Large camp sites. Well maintained. Easy access to the site.

    My husband and I did the full-day Black Canyon kayak tour with Desert Adventures and I seriously…read morecan't recommend it enough. I grew up in Vegas and have been on this river a ton by boat, and I've also hiked to both Gold Strike and Arizona Hot Springs. Those hikes are super rewarding but honestly brutal. This experience was completely different in the best way. Being able to get out of the river and be steps away from hot springs was amazing, and the views from the water are hands down the best. We met the team bright and early at 5:30am for launch, and everything was super smooth. They shuttled us, got us fitted for life jackets, handled waivers, and gave a quick safety rundown. Launch timing is strict because of the park service, but they made it feel easy and not stressful at all. Definitely be on time, though, because due to this strict timing, they will leave without you. The kayaks were such a game-changer. They were longer touring kayaks with foot-controlled rudders, dry storage, and actual back support. Super comfortable for me and somehow also worked great for my 6'2" husband (he had a larger boat). Since it was just the two of us, our guide Holmes customized the whole day to our pace. He took us to hidden spots I had never seen before, even as a local, and helped us avoid crowds. We did some hiking, rock scrambling, used ropes at Boy Scout Canyon, and explored hot springs that you can only get to from the river. It felt adventurous but still very safe, and he gave great tips the whole time. He also knew so much about the area. History of the Hoover Dam, plants, wildlife, etc. I learned a ton - even as someone who felt familiar with the area. This is exactly why I'm glad we didn't just rent kayaks. Having a guide made it feel like a next-level experience. We got to relax more while he handled the route and found the best spots. We got lucky with perfect early April weather. No wind, super glassy water, and we could see fish deep in the water. The 12 miles honestly felt way easier than expected, especially with how well Holmes guided us through the current so we could just float and chill a lot of the time. They also packed a great lunch, snacks, and plenty of water. You really just need a sun shirt, hat, sunglasses, swimsuit, water shoes, and sunscreen. They take care of the rest. Even though we leaned a little more adventurous, I could totally see this being doable for beginners, too. You don't need to be super athletic to enjoy it. Pickup and cleanup were easy and seamless. They handled everything while I grabbed a snack and relaxed, which honestly made it feel even more special. This was such a cool experience, and I would 100% do it again. Already recommending it to friends, and I would definitely consider doing the overnight version next time.

They instructed you to move quickly as there was a time limit for getting everyone/everything Into the water and away from the area.
