Hidden Falls Park

This is a very family friendly park. There is a park for big kids with swings and climbing apparatuses. This was separated by a splash pad from the kiddie park. For the little once is a conventional play structure with slides and tunnels as well as swings.
Picnic tables and benches are plentiful and located very conveniently near the play structures. In addition a restroom was also near.
The views are amazing and there was plenty for the kids to explore. Located right behind CVS and Vons makes it easy to grab snacks even lunch and have a picnic.
There are skate and basketball parks as well as a separate gated area for dogs.

Best dog park I’ve been to yet! In my opinion, it blows Sunset Dog Park out of the water! First of all, it’s pretty hidden, and I feel like few people actually know the entire park is even there. Which is great, because there are hardly any people ever here, at least at the dog park for larger dogs anyway. This is a plus for me, as I have a friendly German Shepard Mix, and a not-​so-​friendly, only gets along with Male dogs, American Staffordshire Terrier. Ive always seemed to time it just right to where my AmStaff can have some off leash time until others come and she goes back on her leash. Versus Sunset or Barkin Basin, where there is a constant flow of people coming and going with their dogs. There are a lot of benches in the park to sit, and everything you’d need to clean up after your dog. It’s just perfect! I’m so glad my boyfriend and I stumbled upon it while trying to hike Sloan Canyon! It was the best wrong turn I’ve ever taken!

This park is advertised as hidden but it’s right off the main road. There’s even a sign right out front.

I actually enjoy this park a lot, but I went to the vet the other day and they told me this park is infested with dog lice. That all the dogs at the park keep getting it and customers keep bringing their pets in to get them dipped to get rid of the bugs. So, I wouldn’t recommend coming here for awhile.

So many aggressive dogs at this park and owners who do nothing to keep them from injuring other calmer dogs. I would not recommend bringing your animals here the bark park is much better and it has a combination park which is nice for owners of varying sized dogs.

Best dog part in town! The park over is a bit small but it is very clean and well taken care of.

Hidden Falls Park is one of my favorite parks in the Henderson area. This jewel of a park is literally «hidden» behind a local CVS/​Walgreens. I discovered it one day and always look forward to going back. It is family and dog friendly. It has many trails for one to hike or bike on. The park is clean, peaceful, and quiet with lots of grassy areas for you to picnic or run around on. The restrooms are well kept and clean. I would recommend this park to anyone who lives in the Henderson area.

Great Clean park hidden up in the hills in Henderson. This is a great spot to bring the little ones. They have a huge splash pad which makes for a lot of fun for the kids on a warm day. There’s 2 playgrounds one for older kids one for the really little ones. There’s lots of grass to run around on. What’s great is it’s kind of hidden up in the hills, so it’s very peaceful and quiet. There’s some great hiking trails up there a shaded picnic area with tables. The rowdy folks tend to avoid this place which is great cause if you got kids you don’t want to deal with some fowl mouthed jackasses causing trouble. The park is very well maintained and clean. There’s basketball courts a dog park and even a skate park so a little something for everyone up here.

This dog park is really nice, especially since they have separate sides for both big and small dogs! Well kept and very clean. I will keep coming back when visiting town.

This is a fantastic park. It had a splash pad, swings, a climbing structure and picnic tables. It has a large natural grass area for playing. One problem we have experienced is a large amount of bees when the splash pad is turned on.

Nice park on the side of Black Mountain. It has two playground areas (for older and younger kids) along with some picnic areas, open grass area, access to a hiking trail, skate park and I think I saw a dog park as well. There is a smaller splash pad as well but we didn’t use it when we visited. The splash pad is pretty simple but still nice to be able to cool off during our hot summer months! The kids liked the playground equipment which is a little different from the norm. There are also bathrooms conveniently located by the kids play area.

My absolute favorite park I’ve found in Henderson thanks to Unilocal!We used to go to the skate park all the time, didn’t realize there was more to the park. So awesome & never busy. The rattlesnake signs up the mountain where the hiking area is kinda scared me with my kids … But hey, we live in the desert. Just don’t wear flip flops if planning to hike! My kids are 8 & 11 so they think a lot of playgrounds are too babyish, luckily this one has an area for younger kids & the older kids area is really cool. I Tell them to pretend play «Ninja Warrior» :)
Overall, very cool spot!

This park is a unknown Jewell. On a hot day the kids can play on a rubberized playground with water jets keeping them busy running back and forth and staying cool. There are also two different playground sets for different age of children. 14 children ages 2 to 5 and another for ages 6 to 15. There’s plenty of covered picnic tables for shade and clean restrooms op and you will see youth baseball and soccer teams practicing on the more than ample green grass areas

Henderson does it again! I swear we have the BEST parks here.
Anyhow, I always see the basketball courts when I am going to the Vons center or Chase or whatever, but I had no idea there was SO much more to this park than meets the eye!
So, I was dropping my Mom off at Great Clips and noticed that the road curved around behind the center. Rather than turn around, I figured I would see where it lead, and boy was I surprised! There was so much back there, I think I may have gasped.
So I took my new little puppy back to the dog park, which is big and new and awesome. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is the severe lack of shade in the dog park. There are just a few small trees that don’t provide much in the way of shade — and we all know it gets HOT out there!
Anyhow, I am pretty sure I will be back. Probably for a doggie playdate in the near future!

What a treasure to have this amazing park so close. Located behind the Von’s shopping center, it doesn’t seem like much. When you drive up you see the basketball court and part of the dog park. But drive up a little more and there is lush greenery, picnic areas, playgrounds, water pad, hiking trails, large open grassy areas to run around in.
You can go up the quick switch back trail that gives you a beautiful view of the park and Henderson or you can choose to be adventurous and take the Amargosa hiking Trail for a more rigorous hike. Be sure to wear sneakers or hiking shoes as the rocks can be a little slippery.
Great place to have a BBQ picnic or enjoy the day. One of Henderson’s best!

Thanks to another Unilocaler I had to try this park. Very easy to find, located off of the 95, in a nice neighborhood.
From the first parking lot I spot the dog park and a skate park. The dog runs were large, but dry, not much grass. Not much shade either. There are some trees but they aren’t big enough to provide much shade. Lots of seats available to the humans. Poo bags provided. The unfortunate aspect is the water fountain is outside of the fenced area, how inconvenient. It was daytime when I was there but by the sight of the lights, I think it’ll be hard to see much at night. Not many dogs around while we were there but the ones we met were really nice.
We ventured up the street past the park and up to the last parking lot to check out the trails. We spotted some kid play areas along the way. It’s nice having some hiking trails (Amargosa) so close to the dog park. Tire out the pooch a bit so he doesn’t pull his leash as much!
I wil definitely visit this park again and explore the trails a bit more.

This is a REALLY nice park and quite new! There are 3 separate sections at this park.
The basketball court is the first thing you see as you drive into the park. I didn’t visit it, but it looked nice!
The dog park has 2 very large separate sections with friendly people and animals. Clean!
Keep following the road and you will come to the playground which has equipment that my kids have never seen. They enjoyed it a lot. The large grass area was great for kite flying and football.
The road continues to picnic benches (I think). I also believe there is a trail head nearby.
Great place to spend an afternoon!

I love this parks landscape on the rolling hillside with the mountain as the backdrop. It is nestled at the foot of Black Mountain right behind the strip mall where Vons is located. Family and dog friendly, there is something for everyone.
As you enter from Horizon Dr. you have a lighted basketball court and skate park. Hang a left turn you’ll drive along and pass the fenced in dog park and the 2 playgrounds one for toddlers and the other for ages 5 – 12. The kids have some cool playground equipment. The structure that’s designed to look like a rock climbing wall would be my favorite if I was a kid and the splash pads too! Park benches and picnic areas are scattered throughout. There’s large grassy field in the center.
The path winds up all the way to the top where you have the trailhead that has shaded picnic tables and the entry path to Amargosa Trail. There is also another small bike/​hiking path that snakes up to small overlook that has a fantastic view of the city. I like catching the sunrise and sunset from here. This area also is a popular place to hike in the afternoon, you’ll have to alternate sides on the path for people coming and going up and down the hill. It’s not a problem though since everyone is courteous and considerate. Since the mountains are set up high against the park you get shade here early in the afternoon also.
There is adequate parking spaces but it’s pretty tight in some areas. Drive extra slowly because sometimes you share the road with the hikers, cyclists and joggers and have the random kid that chases after their ball. This place is the perfect neighborhood park! It’s no wonder why Henderson is known for it’s award winning parks.

This is a hidden gem for the City of Henderson. It’s not just because it’s new at the time I write this, this is the park my 2 year old likes best. More to climb, more to do, and the view is pretty cool too. The skatepark is always busy… even if you can’t skate it’s kinda fun to watch for a little bit. This park as another reviewer mentioned is a gateway park to trails and various other areas. It’s got trails that will help you work up a good sweat in a hurry but the views make you forget all about that. 5 stars… my 2 year old would give his approval but he’s too busy climbing on the playground equipment to say much. I-​515 at Horizon Drive. Exit the Interstate, turn towards the mountain… it’s tucked in behind Vons.

Gateway park to Amargosa Trail and Sloan Canyon National Recreation Area
Hidden Falls Park is the newest City of Henderson park. So new that the information kiosks are still shiny white. The City of Henderson opened this park around Christmas (2011). And I couldn’t ask for a better Christmas present.
Hidden Falls Park is off US 95 exit 51. Turn on westbound Horizon Drive, then cross Horizon Ridge Parkway, immediately after CVS, you enter the park.
Horizon Drive continues into the park. All the park amenities are off Horizon Drive. At the first curve, that brings Horizon Drive southbound, there is a basketball court and parking lot. Progressing south, there is open land. Before Horizon Drive climbs a slight hill there is a dog park on the west side. There are picnic tables near the dog park. A note for dog owners: the adjacent Amargosa Trail is popular with hikers accompanied by their canine friends. On the east side, the back exterior of Von’s is unspectacular. Before Horizon Drive turns westbound, it meets up with a second entrance to Horizon Ridge Parkway that is parallel to the Armory. Directly ahead is Black Mountain. As the road heads up a slight incline toward Black Mountain there is a playground, rest rooms, and grassy field to the right. A slight ways further up Horizon Drive terminates at a parking lot. Black Mountain stands in its glory.
Hidden Falls Park is a gateway park to regional hikes. The Amargosa Trail continues from where Horizon Drive terminates. Immediately, after entering the trailhead, hikers have the option of turning left and linking up with Sloan Canyon National Park in a half mile walk. For people not up to a hike, to the right of the dead end parking lot are switchbacks that reach an overlook.
My chances of returning are high. Most likely I will be using it as the gateway to Slone Canyon and Amargosa Trail hiking.
