    Acacia park had made some new changes by taking big trees out and added several small trees along with 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.

    Playground for little kids.

    Acacia is a large, well-maintained park with a great variety of activities. The large parking lot is conveniently centered in the park. I've never had an issue finding parking here. The park is clean and everything is in great shape. This park seems to have full time employees dedicated to cleaning and maintaining the park. This park offers two playgrounds (one for smaller kids), a small splash pad, tennis courts, a garden, a dog park, a baseball field, and plenty of open grassy areas. This connects up to the main walking/biking trail in the area. Bonus points for current construction in the area so there are often construction vehicles at work to watch. There are also lots of chipmunks to watch in the rocky area under the bridge past the garden. I love the variety of activities here when I'm looking for a long park trip with my toddler. Acacia has two pavilions available for rental for special events. We've been to a couple of birthday parties here and the pavilions are perfectly located for kid parties. They're right by the playground, splash pad, and bathrooms. This area can get very crowded if you happen to come when parties are taking place. Bathrooms are located between the parking lot and the playground/splash pad. They're as clean as a park bathroom can be. Acacia definitely offers something for all ages!

    Acacia Demonstration Gardens in Henderson, NV offers a lovely park experience with its open areas. I have deterred many of my recent visits to this park because of occasional weed/marijuana smoking around the playground. I don't think that's right to do around young children. the strong odor is particularly bothersome. Despite this, the park's appeal is clear, and given the growing residential area, adding another playground nearby could alleviate overcrowding. The park's popularity for birthday parties adds a fun element to its charm.

    So this demonstration park is located in Acacia park. It is a smaller easy walking flat area with some labeled plants. Lots of birds. Even a bunny! The park has a dog park, picnic areas, open fields and lots of parking. Forgot to scope out the restrooms.

    A beautiful little gem of a park, located next to the highway in Henderson. This place was put here by the city to show us all some demonstrations of desert landscaping. We all have to do our part and practice sustainable landscaping. There were a lot of cool plants and animals here. I will definitely be back for birding. There were some sweet dogs at the dog park. There are open green fields, a dog park, and a baseball field. A lot of the amenities in this park are heightened by the beauty of the park. Parks like this are what make life in Henderson better.

    This was a super cool spot! We were in the area, enjoying the curbside life, and we yearned for a walk with the puppo. Stopped here to walk along the trail that apparently leads all the way to Boulder City and follows along a railroad. Super cool! In addition, there are several mini gardens and cultivated desert plants with labels so you can learn about some interesting flora! I loved the canary date palm. So many other cool plants - saguaro cacti, pomegranate trees, etc. It was so peaceful at magic hour with few people to disturb us although we were still decked out in PPE. The corgi had a wonderful time!

    I ride my Ebike here as often as possible! I love to have my morning coffee sitting on my favorite bench in the gardens on cool mornings! The trails & the whole park is very well manicured, there's usually a staff member around which makes me feel safe, as I am a senior & ride solo! This place is a gem & I thank the City of Henderson Parks & Recreation Department!

    This is a beautiful little park right next to a sports complex. They hide rocks at this park so keep your eyes peeled for some #hendersonrocks so much fun.

    Acacia is a cozy park and demonstration garden a block away from Horizon Ridge. It features the typical park amenities such as swing set, baseball field, covered picnic areas, grassy field, etc. It also features two dog parks and the aforementioned demonstration gardens. A bike and running trail runs directly through Acacia, and you can often see bikers, runners, and walkers passing through. I enjoy Acacia park because of the demonstration gardens. Here you can walk through various examples of trees and other foliage which is native to our area, with plaques featuring interesting information about the various vegetation. Although there are numerous parks in the area, Acacia is one of a small number which offers a dog park. In this case, it is two identical dog parks. Although they aren't large, they do allow pets to get out and run. Overall, this is a great addition to the Henderson experience.

The fields were pristine and the location was easier to get to and had a lot of businesses in the area to visit Just down the block. You have Starbucks, Albertson's and a lot of other businesses that you can shop while you play at the park however in this case, we had a baseball tournament take place there and it was the coolest little park to play in. If you are going to go there, it's recommended you bring canopies and something to shade yourself! Don't forget to hydrate definitely use this park to have fun. Bring your dogs and enjoy the area.

    Mission Hills is a huge park with plenty of green grass, a playground, a large splash pad, and…read morecovered pavilions to rent for events. The splash pad here is one of the largest splash pad at Henderson parks. It is spread out to give kids plenty of space to splash and play. It has a variety of features too. The splash pad is conveniently located next to a set of bathrooms and changing stalls. One of my favorite things about this park is all the green grass out in open spaces. I love having all the open space to let my toddler safely run. A lot of people bring blankets and hang out or have a picnic. The playground is good for about three years and up. A lot of the climbing features would be too big for really little ones. There are also two big slides in the side of a hill. There aren't any swings at this playground. There is a large covered pavilion area in between the playground and splash pad. It's large enough to be rented out for two different parties. We attended a toddler birthday party here and it was a nice space for that. The city should put up signs that the pavilions are paid rentals though. My friend arrived to find a party happening in the area she rented. The other party didn't know rentals were to be arranged through the city. She felt bad and gave up some of her rental space because she didn't want to ruin a kid's birthday party. Another cool thing about Mission Hills is the shaved ice truck that has a permanent spot when it's hot out. How perfect to be able to grab shaved ice when playing in the heat.
