Mountain View Park

Recreation Spots

Mountain View Park is a breath of fresh air in Henderson with plenty of space to stretch your legs. The sprawling grass areas provide plenty of space for tossing a frisbee, setting up an impromptu picnic, or simply taking a leisurely stroll.

Sports enthusiasts will feel right at home with the ball field, basketball court, tennis courts, and volleyball courts scattered throughout the grounds. The baseball diamond is well-maintained and frequently hosts little league games. If you've got kids in tow, they'll love the playground area complete with swings and climbing equipment. The recent addition of a shade structure and renovated rubber terrain makes this play space both safer and more comfortable, even during those hot Nevada afternoons.

Picnic Spots

Looking for a place to host your next family gathering? The park has several picnic areas with shelters and concrete tables suitable for birthday parties, reunions, or weekend lunches with friends. The BBQ pits are ready for your charcoal, so you can grill up something delicious while enjoying the outdoors.

The generous grassy areas surrounding these picnic zones give you plenty of room to set up lawn chairs or spread out a blanket for a relaxed afternoon hangout.

Helpful Amenities

You can find centrally located restrooms that, while basic, are clean and accessible - a small but crucial detail when you're planning to spend several hours outdoors.

One of the park's best features has to be the mature trees dotted within the grounds, offering patches of natural shade that make even summer visits enjoyable. The overall cleanliness and maintenance of the park makes it a pleasant escape from the everyday hustle.

Going Green

Mountain View Park is doing its part for the environment with ongoing water conservation efforts. The plan includes removing over 30,000 square feet of grass and converting more than 114,000 square feet to water-efficient landscaping.

This thoughtful initiative is expected to save an impressive 3,954,815 gallons of water annually, with the grass removal phase set to wrap up by 2025. It's a thoughtful approach to make the space more sustainable while maintaining its recreational functions.
