With covid, it was great to see that Vegas Roots was still allowing small groups. We were greeted by David, who took us on a wonderful interactive tour of the space. We loved hearing about the processes and best practices for gardening. We dove in and got our hands dirty volunteering and learning great tips and tricks. Since then we have continued to come back and each time my team members are letting me know what a great experience they had. We are so grateful to be able to be in this beautiful healing space. We love this place and I highly recommend a visit! Say hi to David, he runs the garden and he makes this place a local treasure!

We came…read moreto the area to grab lunch and happened to stumble upon this garden, not realizing what it was at first. I honestly didn't know much about this tragedy beforehand, but I'm really grateful that this garden exists--to build awareness, offer a place for reflection and healing, and serve as a meaningful memorial honoring all the innocent lives lost. You can really feel how much care and intention went into creating this. Each life lost is honored with a tree and a small tribute area, and it appears that loved ones wrote personal messages for each individual. It was incredibly moving. Walking through the garden made us pause, reflect, and truly appreciate the time we have here on earth. It was especially heartbreaking to see how young some of the victims were--some only around 20 years old, with their whole lives ahead of them. I appreciated that you're able to walk through the space at your own pace, almost meditatively, reading about each person and seeing their photos. Each memorial area had its own unique style, reflecting the individuality of the person it honors. You can learn their age, where they were from, and a little about who they were. Overall, this is a powerful, peaceful, and beautifully done memorial. If you're in the area, I highly recommend taking the time to visit--it's a quiet reminder of loss, resilience, and the importance of compassion and remembrance.

Summerlin's most thoughtfully designed neighborhood park…read more Unusually green for Vegas and beautifully balanced between walking paths, picnic spaces, sports areas, and family-friendly corners. Its 18 acres are lined with mature trees, and this time of year the ornamental pears are peaking. They burst into clouds of white blossoms, their branches dusted like powdered sugar. When the breeze moves through, petals drift down slowly, almost like a gentle snowfall. It's intensely beautiful, and because the bloom is so brief, and arrived early this year, it's worth visiting now before it disappears. Notes: although a sign lists the hours as dawn to 10:30pm, the park feels safe. I haven't seen any homeless individuals here, likely thanks to the security guard who patrols in a golf cart. The amenities are extensive: lighted basketball and tennis courts, sand volleyball, bocce ball, horseshoe, shuffleboard, a large playground, BBQ grills, and a community center offering classes and programs. There's also restrooms, water stations, and plenty of parking. My dog has officially declared this his new favorite park. He loves seeing all his friends, each greeting the other with sniffs, and catching up on everything they've missed since yesterday, lol!

More Art in the Park:…read more In downtown Boulder City [1] a hop up Colorado Street from Wilber Square Park [2] where the annual Art in the Park Festival [3] is held the first weekend of October is more Art in the Park in the tiny Reflections Center sculpture garden. A couple of Saturdays ago, I spent a few minutes of solitude here. In similar style to downtown Boulder City, Reflections Center is charming. When I visited it on a recent Saturday morning, I was one of only a few people to appreciate its charm. I hold the opinion that few people outside of Boulder City are aware of its existence. It was a couple of years ago while I was touring downtown Boulder City in my car on the way to Lake Mead National Recreation Area [4] that I became aware of this sculpture garden. This sight became a mental bookmark. A couple of Saturdays ago I was up for a park combination (combined with Veteran's Memorial Park) over a long hike. In the Boulder City Starbuck's, I saw that my Yelp friend Renee. N created this business listing with an informative review and pictures. The mental bookmark was about to transition into a real life experience The first thing I observed was that the majority of the parking is off Railroad Street in a residential neighborhood. However, there is a small parking lot by the residential building in the center of the property. This is where I parked. This is a good thing because; I became aware of a small community garden. It is my understanding that local residents plant and maintain the plots in the garden. Fronting some of the green parcels are the names of some of the people involved in the community garden. What I found cute was the library box that looks like a giant bird house on a pole. Now, if I had parked on Railroad Street at the east side of the house, I may not have been aware of the community garden at its west side. I spent a few minutes touring the sculpture garden that showcases an obelisk and 7 sculptures that supposedly rotate every year. As I toured along the concrete walkways I set eyes on what appear to be wire sculptures. They included an eagle, giraffe, dolphin, cow, and "Shooting Star Sculpture" by John Banks (2012). They blended in with the well-manicured xeriscape garden. You can follow my footsteps on a virtual tour through the pictures below. While touring the sculpture gardens, I also took in the plaques. One of the plaques stated this interesting fact: "This garden attracts migratory and native birds of Southern Nevada. It is a part of the Great American Bird Count." The obelisk is the focal point of Reflections Center. The plaque has an interesting description that explains the name Reflections Center. It pays tribute to the people and events that built Boulder City and the Hoover Dam. The later part of the plaque summarizes the spirit of the sculpture gardens best: "The inscription (is) dedicated to: those individuals and their triumphs and sacrifices who originally forged this environment; tose (sic) individuals who subsequently have conscientously (sic) molded it; and those individuals yet to come, who will be entrusted with its future sculpturing. May these ever-changing reflections...remind us of the past, enlightn (sic) the present, and guide us to the future." Reflections Center was a nice way to spend a few minutes between Starbuck's and Veteran's Memorial Park [5]. If you are considering touring Reflections Center, I highly recommend combining it with another Boulder City attraction. If an adventure were food, Reflections Center makes a nice appetizer before the entrée.

It is not a very big space and I think I counted 7 unique sculptures. I especially loved the giraffe and the bird like tall sculpture.

Being a former resident of BC, I had never seen this little park before but glad we came upon it.

I told her be more professional, I'm tryna get to know the place... she SHUT THE HELL UP, after that. They're so used to telling ppl what to do, or talking at people, not today. Learn to train ur employees better with customer service. The park does have homeless ppl but they are in the cut, out the way. Thank GOD, I can run the trails. Anyways, looked like people rent out the rooms for dance classes or whatever they do. Nerds. Which isn't a problem. But dang, can't even give people a TOUR!?

It gets crowded sometimes, but not to the point of being super annoying. What I like at a park is all here- a nice pool, walking path and shade! It also has some hills to vary the walking, and stairs to incorporate into a workout as needed. The park has ballfields, basketball and a playground as well. Part of the park is within a detention basin, so there are signs warning to that effect.
