Boulder Creek Park

Pros: It's a clean park with a large covered playground. Had a nice trail to walk laps around, lots of grass (that's sometimes green!) and two dog park enclosures that never too crowded and kept clean. It offers nice wide open spaces to play ball or settle down for a picnic. Cons: The grass is often dry, and the playground is the only shade offered. There are no trees or other methods of covering. Not many benches for seating, and the few that they have are spread out. Near to large power lines, and has heavy foot traffic at night sometimes. My Personal Feelings: It's not a bad park, being that it is the only one close to this area within walking distance its.....acceptable? It's good for a walk/run, the dog(s), an early morning or non-summer picnic, as well as maybe a game of catch. However, bring your own chairs and bring your own shade. Personally, I feel that they should add some sort of gazebo or canopies to offer more shade for visitors. Its Nevada, it's far to hot for children, pets, and elderly to have to walk to the far end of the park just to cool down. The place is just not the sort of park where you are there to relax and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. It's a get your exercise handled close to the house during Covid sort of park.

The humming power lines overhead are a downside. The grass is well maintained and sufficient for many teams to hold flag football practice at the same time. Mid day heat is not something to endure here as there is very little refuge of shade to be found. With the other options nearby we would never have a desire to come to this park other than it's where our team practices at.

Excellent park and play structure. The grounds are kept clean, its off the street quite a bit so no worries about accidents and lots of locals and kids play here (not so many that you can't play just enough for kids to have fun running around with other kids their own age)

Fun playgrounds. One for older kids, one for younger. Big grass field, an outdoor basketball court, and a fenced in area for dogs. A lot of road nose from Boulder Highway and for some reason the power lines overhead make me uncomfortable.

Wasn't what I had expected, as I hadn't really looked at a map of it, but it's a nice park. It's very long and narrow, with a long, grassy area that's just wide enough for a couple groups to play competitive sports. Opposite the grassy area, there's a line of variously sized dog parks--although none was especially large, a basketball court, a restroom, and a small children's playground with both a small 2-5yro playset and a 5-12yro playset, concrete picnic tables, and shading. (But don't expect the picnic tables or playsets to be in much shade at 3pm in September). The designers really tried to pack in a little of everything to meet everyone's basic interests/desires, and it seemed pretty new and well cared for The play area isn't anywhere near parking, and there's actually only a parking lot on one side, which surprised me as I would have expected there to be two--one on each side--with how long it was. So, if you're stopping by just cuz you heard there was or saw the sign for a park/playground and want to let the kids play on a playset for a few minutes before you continue on your errands, it's gonna take them that few minutes just to walk to the play area, and then you'd hardly be able to see them from the parking lot once they got there. Otherwise, it's a good park, with plenty of space for running around in the grass and playing sports. Update: There actually is one small row of parking on the opposite side of the park that I just couldn't tell was parking from my view from the playground. It's still a bit of a walk from it to the playground, but it's less of a walk than from the main parking lot!

Great park, but fire department called twice on different occasions

Poops has not been picked by owners. Always have poops there every time we went!

So much potential! The City seems to have really skimped on this park. The park is so big, lots of well maintained grass; but that's about it. There is a small kids play area, where a park of this size should have 2-3 of tgem. No splash pad/ water play area, not nearly enough shaded area or benches on/around the walking path around the park. There are nice basketball courts but quite regularly have a bunch of swearing and cussing teenagers playing, so keep young ears away. The only restroom for the entire park is typically either closed due to vandalism (kids starting fires and/or breaking the stall door) or locked because of the vandalism and awaiting repair. Henderson City needs to put some effort into this park. As a regular user of this park, it's clear that not enough has been put into this park.

I live near this park. Its long and spacious. Its great for running around, and has a gas station and a subway near by for a refreshments. It has everything you need from a grill, dog park, basketball courts, fields of grass, playground, and restrooms. I kind of wished the lights stays up at night for the courts and the dog cage because I go out at night. Also a tennis court would be nice. 4/5 starts out of my preference. Playground Yes. With shelter. Restrooms Yes. Dog-friendliness Yes. This has 2 separate cages for big and small dogs. Picnic area It has grass fields

Great big grassy area that is well kept. Restroom available, and 2 play structures for ages 2-5 and 5-8 (currently closed). Lots of large boulders at perimeters that are fun to climb over.
