Question for you. " What is inflation proof?" Answer: the local park. 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. read more

The playground is fine. There is a sidewalk that loops around if your kids want to ride bikes/scooters or you like to jog. The playground is small but hits all the marks. Good slide, things to climb, swings (regular and a tire swing that is SUPER far off the ground), and a toddler playground. No infant swings. There are NO bathrooms which sucks. Especially because there are great tennis courts and a baseball diamond and if you wanted to spend a couple hours here you'd be out of luck. Likewise, if you're on week two of potty training a toddler, you may want to drive somewhere else. Another major design flaw is the benches are all facing AWAY from the playground structures. One bench in particular inexplicably faces the picnic tables. As a nursing mom, having somewhere to sit while I watch my other kiddos play is vital. I'm not sure what the thought process was. read more

It's a park. Has slides and swings and many more wonderful things for older kids and young adults but I wouldn't come here with a child younger than 5. Not safe for toddlers. Some of the safety issues are crazy and a part of the "design" appears suspicious if that's how it was intended to be built. I honestly can't believe some areas, but especially this particular one. read more

This isn't the worst park I've been to, but it isn't the best either. You can definitely tell it's an older the park. The cushiony turf that's on the playground has missing pieces and has been patched up in several places. Half the grass is yellow. And the bar fitness area has seen better days. The maintenance crew should really come through with a leaf blower because there were dead leaves everywhere. There are two jungle gyms, one for the older kids and one for the littles. My son had fun playing on both of them. It wasn't dirty but I definitely had to wipe his hands after he was done playing. He had fun playing, but there are definitely better parks a few miles away. read more

Love this park but still no bathrooms after all of these renovations!! As well as removing the infant swing has become less fun for my toddler now as he cant use the regular ones yet.... Some improvements still need to be made read more

Great small side park. Love going here when I want to spend some time outdoors. Downside is no restrooms at all. This is a small park compared to others but they been expanding it and remodeling it for a couple years now. The one thing it needs is bathrooms! There's plenty of space to install restrooms! Kids as well as adults need to use the restrooms. Kinda hard to play basketball or baseball or have a picnic with friends and family and then have to either just go in the trees in the park or drive reckless to find a bathroom near by. I don't recommend coming here unless it's for a short time and I don't recommend this place with small bladders. There's no where to go. Oh and by the way. There's like only 12 parking spots with 2 handicap spots, which I guess is ok since Ms it's smaller than most parks and nobody ever stays long because of the fact there are no bathrooms. Other than those two things, it's a pretty cool park. read more

Great little park. I run or walk around the small path, a few times a week. There's a small playground for kids, tennis courts, basketball, two baseball fields. There's and a small workout section. Most days it's pretty quiet unless the little league has set up shop (usually Wednesday around 5pm or 6pm) On most weekends you'll find families staking out the lone grill. But if you can keep a secret there's actually a small grill off to the side near a singular table. Tonight there was a kid practicing the clarinet. I'm not sure how good he was, as I had my Pandora turned up. read more

Great Park for the kids they have a large jungle gym with plenty of options for kids age 3 - 12. I've been here about a half dozen time and each time I've been here it's been clean and well taken care of. The one downside is that there isn't a whole lot of parking in the parking lot for the park so you may need to park on the street. I think there's 10 or 12 places available in the parking lot. I've met a few people here at this park and all of them seem to be nice and friendly. read more

Very cool park right near my house. Took the dog for a walk today and came across this place for her to run around a bit. I noticed they had a basketball court so I've gotta get my ball out and bring it bye, it's been to long since I played some hoops. I saw a father playing with his kids while playing basketball and it reminded me how much I enjoy living in this community. Good people, nice parks and this time of year the weather is incredible. Very grateful for today and this park, hopefully you get to enjoy it on such a nice day as well! read more

This is a nice little Park on the corner of hidden palms and pebble with a small baseball field but I'm not sure little Leaguers play there a little too small for them to play on that. It is a nice place to take the dog for a walk. There are almost always a few people there with their kids. There's not a whole lot of parking in the parking lot during the weekends - you may want to park on the street. They have a number of trees - during the summer it's a nice park to go and get a break from the Sun. It's really close to my house so I like it that it's an option and how close it is. During the school year there is quite a bit of traffic in and out from the school at at the crosswalk on Pebble at 7 & 2. read more

Little parking but my kiddo loves it and it has a sandpit and several pavilions I can chill under while he monkeys around on the playgrounds. Not a very big park but it does the trick read more

I came here to check out this park before my daughter starts soccer practice here next week. The playground area is pretty janky and small. It is missing steps connecting the two areas, leaving just empty poles. That's a safety issue. There is graffiti on the climbing wall as well. Grassy area looks decent. Seems to be popular with dog owners. No bathrooms. The kids are having fun, for what it's worth. read more

This park is one of those small hidden jewels located in this area. They have a small trail that "roughly" 400 meters or one standard lap, a basketball court, a few baseball diamonds, and plenty of grass. The playground is small but your little ones will stay plenty busy in this area. I see folks walking their dogs all the time and i have never run into any yard traps, so they maintain it well. read more

A fun little park in the south of las Vegas. It is very well taken care of and vibrant with colors. The lighting isn't great at right but the sunsets are Amazing! i like to take the dog and walk around the trials. The other people at the park are very nice and the kids hanging out done make much noise and are mostly very pleasant. read more
