Green Valley Park

Park Overview

Found in the Henderson landscape, Green Valley Park is a breath of fresh air along N. Pecos Rd. This green space offers a pleasant neighborhood setting that provides relief from the Nevada sun.

With stretches of well-maintained grass and shade trees, it's a good spot to unfurl a blanket, kick off your shoes, and enjoy being outdoors. Regardless of whether you're looking to toss a frisbee or just find a quiet spot to read, the open spaces here welcome you without judgment.

Recreational Spots

Bring your mitt and ball to the ball field where local youth leagues often play their hearts out. You can often hear the crack of a bat and cheers echoing across the park on game days.

Got basketball skills to show off? The park's court features two hoops in decent condition - meant for a casual game of HORSE or an impromptu pickup game when the mood strikes.

If you have little ones in tow, the playground has plenty to offer. With swings and a play structure, it accommodates climbing, sliding, and exploring for children of various ages. Kids can burn off energy while parents rest on nearby benches.

Picnic Paradise

The park has several barbecue spots available for grilling. The picnic shelters offer a welcome retreat from the sun, making outdoor meals comfortable even during Nevada's warmer days.

You'll also find picnic tables scattered across the grounds, ideal for more spontaneous outdoor dining. These shaded spots often become the backdrop for birthday celebrations and team gatherings after the big game.

Amenities and Conservation

No need to cut your park day short - restroom facilities are available 24/7, along with water fountains to keep everyone hydrated.

It's worth noting that Green Valley is evolving with the times. The City of Henderson is implementing thoughtful water conservation measures, planning to remove or convert 8,797 square feet of park space. This initiative is expected to save an impressive 483,835 gallons of water annually and should be completed by Winter 2025. It's a meaningful step toward keeping this green space sustainable for generations to come.

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Dog owners, take note - this park is a favorite for evening strolls with your furry companions. Just remember to bring a leash, as there's no fenced area, and the park borders a main road with only a sidewalk between the grass and traffic.

The clean grounds and well-maintained pathways make this an especially nice spot for nighttime dog walks when the temperatures cool down.

Getting There

The park connects nicely to the Union Pacific Railroad trail, offering a jumping-off point for those looking to extend their outdoor adventure on foot or bike.

While there isn't a dedicated parking lot, you can find street parking available nearby. And you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that Henderson Police regularly patrol the area, contributing to the park's safe, family-friendly atmosphere.
