Anthem Hills Park

Park Overview

Located in the Anthem area of Henderson, Nevada, this sprawling 53-acre public park acts as a breath of fresh air for the local community. Easily accessible to residents, Anthem Hills Park offers mountain views that make even a quick visit enjoyable. Whether you're a family looking for weekend fun, a sports enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates open spaces, this park is popular with locals.

Recreational Facilities

Skaters, rejoice! The park features a spacious skate park that's well-maintained and accommodating for everyone from beginners trying their first ollie to seasoned pros perfecting their tricks.

Sports lovers aren't left out either. Multiple sports fields and courts dot the landscape, giving plenty of room for team sports or solo practice sessions. The baseball fields come in various sizes to suit different age groups and skill levels. During Little League season, these fields transform with freshly chalked lines and meticulously raked infields - it's the little touches that count, right?

If you're looking for a pick-up game of basketball, the park has basketball courts available. Volleyball players can use the sand volleyball courts for a beach-like experience (minus the ocean, of course).

The roller skating rink recently got a facelift with a smooth new surface and added benches - excellent for taking a breather between skating sessions. Down in the lower section of the park, you'll discover soccer fields that are kept in tip-top shape with regular mowing, making them ideal for both practice and competitive matches.

Children's Areas

Kids have their own little paradise here with a large playground that thoughtfully separates areas for the little ones and older children. Parents can breathe a bit easier thanks to the 3-foot fence partially enclosing the playground with limited entry points - keeping the youngsters contained while they burn off energy.

The playground equipment hits all the right notes with swings and tube slides that seem to delight children of all ages. Many families find that time passes quickly while enjoying this area.

Relaxation Areas

Not feeling particularly active? No problem. The park offers plenty of picnic areas with tables and shelters that make for perfect family gatherings or casual lunch spots. You can even channel your inner grill master at one of the BBQ pits available throughout the park.

The well-manicured grassy areas provide ample space to throw down a blanket, walk your dog, or just lounge with a good book. These green spaces tend to fill up on weekends, so consider arriving early if you're planning a relaxing day out.

Trail Access

For those with an adventurous spirit, Anthem Hills Park connects to the Anthem East Trail, a 7-mile path that winds along the McCullough Mountain Range. The trailhead conveniently starts right within the park boundaries.

This trail opens up opportunities to explore the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape while enjoying some pretty impressive views. Even within the park itself, the paved paths are well-maintained and seamlessly connect to the broader trail network.

Amenities

You'll find clean restroom facilities throughout the park that are regularly maintained - though you might need to trek a bit if you're using the lower sports fields.

There's plenty of parking available, but be prepared for a full lot during busy times, especially weekends or when sporting events are in full swing.

Dog owners, you're welcome here! The park is dog-friendly with plenty of open spaces for your four-legged friends to enjoy. Just keep an eye out for signs indicating where dogs aren't allowed, such as the ball fields.

Environmental Initiatives

Anthem Hills Park isn't just about recreation - it's taking steps toward sustainability too. The park has embraced water conservation by removing 27,000 square feet of water-intensive landscaping, resulting in significant water savings each year. It's nice to see a beautiful space that's also environmentally conscious.
