    There are 2 playgrounds, this one is at the top of the hill

    Very large park! It's a beautiful area to walk around. It has a bridge. It has 2 parks a distance from each other.

    Pokemon Go! Pokestops and view of the whole park.

    This is an amazing medium sized park that has everything you need. The center of the park has a decent sized grassy area making you feel you're not in the desert. The grassy area is surrounded by cement walkways. Next to the water tower there's a playground and a larger one towards the parking lot, both with large picnic bench areas. There are tennis courts on one corner and baseball fields on the opposite end. Behind the fields you can find fronton and basketball courts. In the back corner there are two smaller dog parks with a few obstacles for doggies to play with and another large picnic area. There's plenty of benches to sit down at if you're tired. You can easily walk around the park circle a few times and get your exercise on. People are friendly and I often see the same local friendly faces. Weekdays are very calm with your occasional dog walker and non-school age children playing at the swings. Weekends are more active with more walkers and children utilizing the playgrounds and baseball little league. Are you a Pokémon Go hunter? This is an amazing park! There's tons of Pokestops and 2 gyms. Half of the Pokestops are in a shaded area. Good quality pokemons and everyone is friendly doing their own thing on community day. Look at my picture so you can get the Pokémon Go view of the park.

    Gorgeous park, big walking trail, clean tennis courts. Plenty of people walk their dogs here, and there's a smallish playground as well, in addition to a baseball diamond for little league games. My BF is a member of a tennis league here and they play games and practices twice a week. The courts are well-lit in the evenings with lights that run for an hour at a time, and there's ample shade around the courts during the day as well as the bench between courts for spectator seating.

    O'callaghan park has been in Henderson Nevada since the mid-1980s. This is a lunch to a lot of shade trees which is a bonus in a hot desert when you're looking to cool off outside in the summer. Ample walking trails are concrete sidewalks and are lifted in a few areas due to tree roots. So pay attention and be careful while you're on your morning stroll. The park boasts a baseball field, basketball courts, sand volleyball, tennis courts and two playground areas for kids. Make note that there's only one bathroom for the entire park so if you're at the playground area near the sand volleyball, I'll need to give enough time to take Junior up to the potty. The park is very dog friendly and you'll find regulars that are here bringing their coaches in the morning and the evening. Many are so comfortable with their dogs at the park that they're not on leashes. So if you're coming here with your Pooch for the first time keep an eye out. Now, they just added a brand new agility park for dogs we're off leash is allowed. I've lived on the street for years and the park has provided a safe, fun, excape from my family. The only criticism that have for the park is that there isn't enough lighting for when the Sun goes down. It would be great at the city of Henderson would install more lighting underneath the covered picnic areas. Will keep an eye out for that!

    Often referred to by teens as "O'Cal," this is an older park which has aged like fine wine, and offers a little of everything. You can find a baseball diamond, basketball court, racquetball court, volleyball area (with sand), two parking lots (one via Skyline and the other via Horizon), swings, walking path, open grass area, barbecues, tennis courts, restrooms, and playground. Unlike other parks in the area, which seem somewhat separated from the community, O'Callaghan is smack-dab in the middle of a neighborhood. There are houses across the street on Skyline, as well as back yards from nearby homes sharing the entire Eastern edge of the park. While there isn't a splash area or as many barbecues as found at Mission Hills Park, there is more than enough to here to make this one of the better parks in the area. Although you can often find people here at all hours of the day or night, it gets pretty dark here after hours, and doesn't feel quite as inviting as it does during the day. Overall, O'Cal is a vital park in the area, with plenty to offer kids and parents alike.

    This park is within walking distance from where I am staying. I usually go here to jog or play tennis. The park itself isn't very big, but it is well maintained and has everything you'd need in a park: two lighted tennis courts, jogging path, play ground area for the kids, basketball and handball court, baseball court, and plenty of trees and greenery. It is generally pretty peaceful and people there are respectful. There is always some type of little league game going on so for a small park it lively, but not crazy. There are park benches and picnic areas. It is a great place to come for a leisurely stroll, a jog or to partake in one of the sports.

    I like O'Callaghan park. It has 2 playgrounds, swings, volleyball, baseball, racquetball, tennis, and basketball courts. The trees provide shade. There are bathrooms and water fountains. It is a nice place to bring the family.

    We went here for the market to check out vendors and graba quick lunch…read more Ended up hanging out here longer, their playground is nice, it is enclosed so it's easier to watch the kids, only one entrance/exit in & out the play area. You can even watch them beyond the fence. It's a clean & quiet park, overall good!

    Surrender your unwillingness over to nature and let your spirit be restored and recharged…read more Who needs to step away from life? We all get overwhelmed? We get these feelings of uncertainty and anxiety; it how we deal with this self battle that we come out stronger from. I have always been able to overcome anxiety by just being close to a tree, or breathing in fresh air . We were not meant to be penned up inside a building all day long with fake air. We need to breathe. Hence the reason we escape to the park. Living in an urban jungle where everything around us is covered in concrete is disturbing. We have to keep our calm be collective. When I'm doing the day to day movements of work, the mundane plain that we coexist in an air of chaos sets in . One can call this chitter chatter of fear or anxiety but just going outside enlightenment happens almost immediately. Take a brisk walk, breathe in and out. These things can lower your blood pressure, stress, and inspire your inner greatness to grow. Let's go to the park . How many mornings do we take the time to walk and get in touch with nature. If you have not done this recently make time. A brisk walk would do you good. You can spent time alone or with those close to you. Get out and ride a bike or walk . Are you looking for your best self? Have you gotten lost recently and distracted? Do you need to soar high above the clouds? You can get in touch with your inner self with that trip to the park . Are you brave enough to go down the slide? Cross the monkey bars again? Do you remember how to swing? Push back higher and higher . See you are doing it . Release and relax your inner child is in control now. Let your thoughts flow. After playing, now how do you feel!

As you walk through the gardens so much moves me . The world seems to stop and be in this moment, just for me. This park hosts many different activities for children especially, including a park and baseball field. There is a park for the pups. For our veterans they offer a small rock garden to keep veterans in our memories . The rock garden art is beautiful. So many individuals have come together to share their ideas of love and kindness. The respect from this community exhibited exists because we all care . Come and show your support and appreciation for your freedom and all that we have, but take for granted .

    Acacia park had made some new changes by taking big trees out and added several small trees along…read morewith loads of nice size rocks to have desert yard views. I do enjoy the bike lane when I'm walking my beagle where there's less people. When you walk pass the bike lane make it all the way up passing apartment complexes it connects to the bigger road to gas station and way back to my neighborhood street. I get my good steps in for the day when I make the full circle from the park then pass the apartment complexes and make my way back to my place by pacing myself. Just make sure to do the run during day time now that it gets darker fast in the winter afternoon.
