Wells Park

Park Overview

Situated in Henderson, Nevada, Wells Park spreads across 9.7 acres. This community space has something for everyone, whether you're looking to beat the summer heat or just enjoy some outdoor time.

The crown jewel here is definitely the Wells Outdoor Swimming Pool, which opens its refreshing waters during the summer months - great for those scorching Nevada days when you need to cool off with family.

Amenities and Features

The park has some lovely green spaces with grassy areas and shady spots where you can spread out a blanket, enjoy a good book, or just watch the clouds drift by.

Kids can burn off energy at the playground, but heads up - it's set a bit apart from other facilities like the baseball field, so you might need to choose which area to hang out in if you've got little ones.

Sports fans will find options here too. Shoot some hoops at the basketball court or catch a game at the baseball diamond. If you're looking for something a bit more laid-back, the horseshoe pits offer a quieter alternative tucked away from the more active areas.

Hungry? The park offers several picnic areas - four small and one large covered space - some equipped with grills where you can flip burgers while the kids play nearby.

Community Facilities

Wells Park isn't just about recreation - it's also home to a Boys & Girls Club, which serves local youth.

The lighting around the park is generally good, so evening walks or later activities aren't a problem when the sun starts to set.

Visitor Information

The park's layout is something to consider when planning your visit. If you're trying to keep an eye on kids at different activities, you might find yourself doing a bit of back-and-forth.

For the most peaceful experience, consider coming earlier in the day before the crowds arrive - the park tends to get busier as the day progresses.

Restroom facilities are available, but cleanliness can be hit or miss depending on when you visit. You might want to bring hand sanitizer just in case.

There's plenty of parking available, so you shouldn't have trouble finding a spot for your vehicle.

Pet Policy

Dog owners, rejoice! Your four-legged friends are welcome at Wells Park, with plenty of space for them to enjoy a walk. Just remember to be a good neighbor and clean up after your pup to keep the park pleasant for everyone.
