I own a home around the corner from this neighborhood gem and I can tell you the families in this 'hood love it. It was a lot newer in 2001 when I moved in, but it aged well.
You know you are at this park by the proud American flag furling in the wind on Pebble Avenue. It must be three stories tall! It welcomes me and makes me glad I have such a nice facility two blocks from home.
If you play tennis, there are two courts. If you belong to a softball team, there are two baseball diamonds, complete with seating for proud parents.
There's a sand volleyball court. Reminds me of the beach!
There is large dining pavilion protected from the glaring Vegas sun. It's perfect for birthday parties and family gatherings. But single dining tables dot the park, so you can have romantic al fresco meals too.
This park has a par course which allows you to do exercises under the blue sky. Signs inform you of the possibilities; they act like a personal trainer.
The kids playground has the usual slides and swings. But this park has a climbing mountain too. Unusual.
All it's missing is restroom facilities. But I, for one, could just walk home.

If you want to learn how to garden with native plants, start by visiting the demo garden at Acacia Park. It was built by the Conservation District of Southern Nevada and they know their stuff. Not only do the signs show you what to plant, there's even explanations about composting and pavers. It's a wonderful botanical walk and a great learning experience.
The park has a baseball diamond. There are seats to watch the games. There's a dug out for the teams.
There's also a paved basketball court.
This park has four large meadows for group gatherings. In addition, it has two covered picnic areas with barbecues. It's the perfect place for a kid's birthday party or a romantic al fresco meal.
There are two dog park areas and a drinking fountain for both dogs and humans. There are two doors to enter the park so your dog doesn't bound away. The people are really helpful and work with the doors if you have a rambunctious puppy like mine! (Miss Gracie is the Irish setter in the photos.)
The bathroom are amazing clean for a park. The commodes are push button. Yes! There's even a handicap stall.
The park is part of the Union Pacific Railroad Trail. Acacia Park is actually the trail head for the 7.3 mile trail. The paved trail sits alongside actual working train tracks.
There's plenty of FREE parking. It's easy to get to since it's in the elbow between the 215 and the 95.
