Right off the 95 freeway in Vegas, there's a super chill dog park that's perfect for letting your…read morepup run wild while you kick back and relax. It's got plenty of space, separate areas for big and small dogs, and even some volleyball area if your furry friend is feeling extra energetic. The park has a running track, soft turf, water stations to keep dogs cool, and lots of shady spots where owners can hang out. Whether you're a local looking for a regular spot or just passing through with your pup, it's an easygoing place to unwind. Even though it's close to the freeway, it somehow still feels pretty peaceful. There are trees and wall that help block out the view and the people who come here are usually local homeowners and renters. With easy parking and quick freeway access, it's a no-stress spot to let your dog burn off some energy while you take a breather.

It didn't smell bad the way some dog parks do. There is a large dog park that is long. It has a nice planter area and a large tree to sit under. The medium dog park is nice as well, smaller but clean and didn't smell. The last dog park was "closed for maintenance" and we had a whole herd of dogs with us. Not many people there made it nice and we brought all the dogs into the large dog park and they ran and ran. I like how quiet this park is, how well it is taken care of and the dog parks being well maintained. I feel like this park is a hidden gem in our neighborhood.

Burkholder Park is an eleven acre City of Henderson Park fronting the Union Pacific Railroad Trail…read morebetween Mile Markers 6.5 and 7. Although I had passed beside it several times hiking the Union Pacific Railroad Trail between the Fiesta Henderson and College Drive several times, today I decided to walk down the ramp and into the park. If I had decided to drive to the park, I would have taken Van Wagenen Street to Victory Street and the moderate parking lot would literally be the distance of a baseball field south. From the time that I spent here and seeing it from the Union Pacific Railroad Trail, it is primarily a baseball park with amenities. The two baseball fields take up the majority of the park's footprint. When I visited today, they were unoccupied giving me the opportunity to walk around and take pictures from the south baseball field. I was unable to get inside the north baseball field because it was locked. However, from the elevated steps alongside it, I got to capture a photo of the baseball field rising above a distant Las Vegas skyline. I couldn't help but think that this makes a nice spot to take in the fireworks above the Las Vegas Strip. At the other end of the park the home plate view from the south baseball field takes in a nice vista of a distant Black Mountain. Walking around the two baseball fields that are separated by restrooms and the parking lot was essentially walking around the park that is bookended by Van Wagenen Street and the Union Pacific Railroad Trail. On this walk on baseball field dirt, open grass space, and bordering patches of desert I took in some shade from the interspersed trees that were mostly pine and the picnic shelter. Regardless that the two baseball fields take up the majority of the eleven acre park, there are other amenities. When I walked into the park from the Union Pacific Railroad Trail, the playground was the leading sight. This isn't your ordinary. From first glance this looks like an ordinary playground. This is not the case. I would never ever think at the time that this is the first playground in Nevada to incorporate the Biba app. This is a free app that uses augmented reality to encourage children aged 5 through 12 to unlock games to track activities in the Park. The City of Henderson is using Burkholder Park as a testing ground to decide whether or not to incorporate it in other playgrounds. It was past the playground that I saw the horseshoe courts to the left and sheltered picnic tables to the center. Deeper into the park, I'd see more picnic tables by the north baseball field. The City of Henderson seems to be doing a decent job maintaining Burkholder Park with the exception of the graffiti on the information sign at the trail entrance that explains that Mr. Burkholder was a Superintendent of schools... The open grass space was healthy. Although it wasn't golf course green grass, it was not obliterated with dog poop unlike some parks. For a mature park the equipment and fixtures seemed to be in good shape. I spotted no graffiti or vandalism inside the park. Perhaps it helps that the homes off Victory Drive overlook the park creating a set of eyes. During my visit there weren't many eyes. It was sparsely populated just like the times I'd seen it walking along the Union Pacific Railroad Trail. There seemed to be more birds than people. The way I see it is that Burkholder Park is more of a local than a regional park. I would not drive from North Green Valley to see it by itself, however, when I was hiking along the regional Union Pacific Railroad Trail, it was worth checking out.

Question for you. " What is inflation proof?" Answer: the local park…read more Hidden Palms Park is a local park in the triad of Paradise Palms parkd that include Desert Bloom and Duck Creek. Out of the three parks, Hidden Palms focuses more on the immediate area, to the degree of having zero restrooms. The closest ones are at Duck Creek Park to the east and Von's to the north. The lack of restrooms is a nice way of saying that this is a neighborhood park, where local residents are a short drive or walk away from their own restrooms. To further support this point, the small parking lot only provides thirteen parking spaces with an additional two for handicapped park users. Throughout the years, I had driven by Hidden Palms Park several times. However, it was just recently I had stepped foot in it. When I visited, there were a few people. They were mostly by the softball field. The highlight was walking along the approximately half-mile walking path, which took me 5.37 miles to complete. I will describe my walk in conjunction with the park amenities. Starting from the parking lot and the adjacent playground as the starting point, I walked clockwise. Starting off, the walking path led me south, then west around the pickleball courts and softball field #1 before paralleling Pebble Road to the south. Walking further along the sinuous white paved walking path as it gradually shifted north, open green space with mature pine trees bordered it. To the left was the subdivision border wall. To my eyes, the open grass needed some tlc. Instead of a colorful golf course green they were close to a yellow palette. Continuing north, I took in softball field #2. As the walking path shifted away from the subdivision border wall, the open grass returned. As the path curved east, there was a fitness equipment station. Fronting the open space towards the John R. Beatty Elementary School north border wall was a sand volleyball court. At the sharp curve returning me south towards the parking lot, were the tennis courts. Approaching the end of the approximately 0.5 mile walk were the picnic tables and playground. On my Diminutive Outdoors visit here, I simply walked around. This included a short stroll to the north border wall in the shadow of the park landmark: a towerering cellphone tower that resembles a pine tree. Here, I found my favorite spot in the park: a shaded bench overlooking the expanse of the park to the south. I am aware that Hidden Palms is more of a neighborhood park than it is a local or regional park. However, that does not stop me from having the opinion that it would give an improved park experience if it was connected to Duck Creek and Desert Bloom Park by means of a multi use trail. I understand that it would involve the controversy of giving Pebble Road a protected pedestrian bike lane, furnishing Pollock Drive with a road diet (narrowing it from four to two sections) between Pebble and Wigwam, and reimagining Wigwam Avenue into a more pedestrian bicycle friendly corridor between Pallock and Desert Bloom Park. From evaluating Hidden Palms Park, I am of the impression that this would give Paradise Palms a trail system that Hidden Palms Park would anchor. Additionally it would connect park users from outside the neighborhood with a public restroom. In conclusion, I give Hidden Palms Park "3 Stars." Considering that local parks are inflation proof, it costed me zero cents to explore it. With that said, I will most likely return to the nicer nearby Duck Creek Park and Desert Bloom Parks before returning to Hidden Palms Park.

Cute little park & recreational area you'd probably never know existed unless living in the…read morevicinity! One of my job sites was located within the premises, and it was definitely my favorite of the day & most fun/relaxed/comfortable. Did not expect to be doing work next to a children's playground, but I was very impressed by the abundance of playground equipment & how much fun it looks- kinda feel like I totally missed out as a kid, seeing this playground! There were a lot of parents w/ youngsters here, and everyone was so friendly & happy. I was extremely impressed to see (as much as it can be a pain for me on the job) that absolutely EVERY piece of electrical or telco equipment was barricaded behind steel cages- and painted well to blend in. You'd never really know a cellular compound lies within, unless REALLY paying attention. There were others utilizing the tennis/racquetball courts, and I think I saw basketball, also? But, plenty of courts open- so it doesn't seem overcrowded at all, and it was a more popular time, late afternoon just after school but ample time before dinner. Public restrooms, plenty of drinking/water fountains, and lots of picnic tables! The walking paths are nice & well maintained- benches along the way. And I believe I also saw a bbq? The parking is pretty adequate & very well set up with convenient entrance/exit access. It felt like a lovely destination for a family day at the park or gathering that can be fun for all. And let me also say- the padding on the surface of the children's playground area is HEAVENLY soft & squishy!!! Omg- for someone on their feet 12+ hours a day, I was so tempted to take my shoes off & fully indulge in that comfort of a padded platform! Rest assured- kids will fall & into total comfort! Why didn't we have this in the 80's & 90's on our playgrounds?!? But either way- I wish I could have conducted my entire job standing on that slice of pampering! The plaque up front suggested this is a Memorial Park for Bob Baskin. Very lovely seating area surrounding. And, I loved the vicinity because of the vegetation, as well. Plentiful trees & grassy areas. I could have spent an entire afternoon here. Oh, and they REALLY do NOT encourage feeding the pigeons! (3+ signs were strong on this specific rule!)
