Next time, next week, we're getting there early.One of the fields for NYS Sports- non-competitive recreational league's flag football - field 1. Very few areas with shade. The grass was also dead. Not green.

I love this park! I'm probably a little biased because I can walk there from my house. They have a great soccer field or big grassy field to run and play catch. There's lot of cool playground equipment for the kids to play on. Shaded too. I see kids there all the time having fun. There are two baseball diamonds, two tennis courts which are lighted at night and a basketball court. The tennis courts are in ok shape. The restrooms are spartan, but clean. There are a few water fountains around the property. The sidewalks around the park are nice and wide for walkers and joggers. It's very pretty too. Check it out!

This park is very spacious and clean! My fiancé and I took our dogs for a morning stroll. There are a lot of doggy bags and trash bins around the park. There is also a lot of greenery and field space, a volleyball area, two baseball fields, a playground, and a basketball court. There is also areas where you can jog around the park. We will definitely be back here again soon!

Although there is chance that you will win a jackpot in a casino, when you spend time in a scenic and well-kept park close to miles of trails there is a guarantee that you will win a happiness jackpot. In my profile I state under "Most Recent Discovery" that "Yelping produces Serotonin?" In reality it is yelping in the sun that produces Serotonin. What Serotonin is, is a natural chemical that replaces depression with happiness. Fortunately Las Vegas is blessed with endless sunshine. I prefer to spend as much time in the sun as possible. It is taking advantage of the endless sunshine that led me to Sunridge Park two times. The first time I explored the park where the second time it was part of a long hike that led me through nearby parks that took me into the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area (abbreviated SCNCA). This review is broken into two sections based on my real life experience. Section 1 reviews Sunridge Park as a neighborhood park. And Section 2 reviews it as a park connection to the nearby trails and parks.1. Neighborhood Park Tucked in the eastern foothills of the Sunridge Heights Community, Sunridge Park is an 18-acre park between Sunridge Heights Parkway and Sandy Ridge Avenue. The only vehicle entrance to the park is off Sandy Ridge Avenue. The best way to describe the park from south to north is the open grass/playground south zone, the baseball fields and lighted basketball middle zone, and the north natural hill zone. It is to the east of the open grass/playground zone where the majority of the parking is. Bordering both sides of the park is a paved multi-use trail with street lights. For the record this is the first time that I saw green colored street lights in a Henderson park (I have seen green lamps)The east trail leads from the picnic tables near the playground uphill to Sunridge Heights Parkway. It follows the Nevada powerlines right of way. The west trail leads from the open grass field at Sandy Ridge Avenue to Sunridge Heights Parkway. It roughly follows a wash. It was from these trails that I explored the park. Here is my Cardio Trainer workout statistics using the perimeter trails along with Sunridge Heights Parkway and Sandy Ridge Avenue:Time: 11:52Distance: 0.69 milesCalories lost: 67 Walking speed: 3.5 miles.I am impressed by how well-kept the park is. The only sign of vandalism that I saw was on a picnic table. The open grass area was immaculate and golf course green. The well-kept baseball fields, white trails, and grass created an attractive color palette. I captured it from the pictures that I took climbing up the east and west trails. I give Sunridge Heights a high score on sense of safety. It is in an affluent neighborhood. When I walked the trails, I saw new dream McMansions on the foothills bordering the park with the attractive homes in the surrounding Sunridge Heights Community.2. Connection to nearby parks.I consider Sunridge Park a major component of the unnamed Anthem Nevada Power Greenbelt Corridor. As a matter of fact the only way to recognize the park when passing it on Sunridge Heights Parkway is the Nevada powerlines just west of the curve where it changes into Green Valley Parkway. This corridor starts at the parks northernmost boundary at the Sunridge Heights Parkway walking path. From here it follows the Nevada powerlines downhill on the eastern walking trail. At the southern open grass/playground zone the Nevada Power Greenbelt Corridor separates from the hike. This is the perfect time to use the bathroom. And, "No Yelp there is no gender neutral restrooms." South of the park, the hike follows the Sandy Ridge Avenue sidewalk southbound a good half mile. After crossing the stop sign across Sandy Grove Drive, the hike rejoins the powerlines on a no name walking trail that leads a short distance into Anthem Hills Park. The hike continues through the much larger Anthem Hills Park. The Nevada powerlines abruptly change to an eastbound direction following McCullough Hills Parkway. The Nevada Power Greenbelt Corridor will soon leave the City of Henderson by means of the McCullough Hills Trail into the SCNCA. At the top of the hill you can hike it all the way to Paradise Hills or continue along the Nevada Power Greenbelt Trail. Returning to a southbound direction, it branches onto the Anthem East Trail where there are breathtaking views of Anthem. Near the end of the trail is a junction with the Black Mountain Trail leading to the summit of the namesake trail. Just south of the junction, the Nevada powerlines follow the Discovery Trail in a southwest then west direction to SCNCA Visitor Station. If this sounds lengthy, imagine the lengthy outdoor adventure I had walking half of it to the beginning of SCNCA.In conclusion the both times that I spent here I won the happiness jackpot. I am a fan of happiness.

The park itself is beautiful and clean . Play ground are old tho and in need of replacing especially roof top of the whole play ground as it is tearing . Lots of weird people hanging out there tho and their maintenance are rude. Maybe they are grumpy because they have to clean and maintain a huge park that's literally trashed by people who goes there and do not care .. But they accepted a job they knew they will be facing . Unless they are just unprofessional and rude PERIOD...

Another cute park!Located just off Sunridge Heights & Sandy Ridge, you'll first see a a nice-sized grass area where it's big enough to throw a frisbee or football around, or let your dog run (if well-trained).Clean bathrooms, basketball court, bench/table area, and tennis courts are also decently maintained. What I liked was that the kids playground actually had soft astro turf instead of grass, which I thought was a cool idea. It is shaded for them, but I noticed most of the park is not covered, so I probably wouldn't frequent this park much in the summer.Overall, a nice place to hang with kids & the family on a nice day!

Nice hidden park located in the Green valley/Henderson area. This spot is more tucked away than most parks in the surrounding area, which makes it all the more better. This place offers a little something for everyone. Beautiful tennis courts, picnic tables, basketball courts, grass areas , a playground, paved walkways, volleyball nets BBQ area's, Baseball diamonds and if you are up for the challenge a moderate hike with a breath taking view of the strip. This place is great for family outings or for picnics and BBQ's in the summer. The place is fairly well maintained. Not a whole lot of rowdy folks there, in the daytime but some A holes do tend to frequent it at night. However do to it's central location and semi secluded nature it makes for a pretty enjoyable place to visit.

Its a beautiful park in a nice quiet area. Not too much traffic, with some places for the kids to crawl on while the adults can walk off to a nice grassy area, or sit on some benches and watch them play. This place is dog friendly as well. The grounds are well kept, and finally....they have shade trees! Shade trees make the trip worth it.
