About the Location
A Family Paradise
Spread across 15 acres, Discovery Park is a place where families can enjoy time together. This green space offers activities for all ages.
Kids' faces light up at the multiple playgrounds scattered around the park. Little ones have their own special area with toddler and preschooler equipment that's just their size, while the more adventurous older kids can tackle the bigger slides, conquer rock climbing walls, swing across monkey bars, or soar on the swings. The playground equipment is well-maintained - some of the nicest in the Henderson area.
Lush Landscapes & Peaceful Paths
What we really like about Discovery Park are its generous open green spaces. These expansive lawns are fantastic for throwing down a blanket, gathering the family, tossing a ball around, or simply unwinding with a good book.
You'll appreciate the mature trees that create delightful pockets of shade within the park - an absolute blessing during those scorching Nevada summer days. These leafy giants provide welcome relief when temperatures climb.
Meandering through the greenery are several paved walking trails that accommodate everyone from casual strollers to power walkers. Most paths are wheelchair accessible and wonderfully shaded, with drinking fountains strategically placed along the way when you need to hydrate.
Get Your Game On
Sports enthusiasts will feel right at home here. The park has well-maintained baseball fields, soccer fields, and basketball courts where you can enjoy pickup games or more organized competitions.
You'll also find tennis courts and volleyball courts open to the public. And if organized sports aren't your thing, the sprawling grassy areas provide plenty of space for impromptu games of tag, frisbee tossing, or just running around freely.
Practical Park Perks
When hunger strikes, head to one of the many picnic shelters or barbecue areas scattered around the grounds. These spots - especially those nestled under shade trees - make perfect venues for family reunions, birthday celebrations, or simply enjoying a sandwich in the great outdoors.
You'll come across clean restroom facilities around the park and plenty of parking (including accessible spaces). The central Henderson location means you're never too far from this green getaway.
Four-Legged Friends Welcome
Dog owners, rejoice! Your furry companions will love the extensive grassy areas and walking paths. The park thoughtfully provides dog waste bags throughout the grounds, making it easy to keep the space clean and pleasant for everyone.
It's common to see locals walking their dogs here daily - both pups and their humans seem to enjoy the fresh air and friendly atmosphere equally.
Evening Enchantment
As daylight fades, the park transforms with its automatic lighting system that illuminates walking areas after dark. This thoughtful feature ensures you can safely enjoy evening strolls while maintaining the park's tranquil ambiance - well-suited for those cooler desert evenings when you want to stretch your legs under the stars.
