This is one of our favorite parks in Henderson and has been for years, especially during the winter months when so many different species of birds migrate here for the winter. The park has a wide variety of amenities to include basketball and volleyball courts, a fitness court, walking/exercise course trails around the beautiful Merrill Kieffer Lake, a large open grass area, two large pavilions with picnic tables and barbeque pits, individual covered picnic tables, and restrooms. The restrooms are very well maintained, and the pavilions can handle large special events. But what makes this place special for us is the lake area, which is completely encircled by the walking trails offering unlimited viewing of the marshy grass areas full of wildlife, both local and migratory. The parking lot for this park is massive with plenty of handicapped parking. Finally, this is a wonderful place to visit either alone or with friends and family and kudos for Henderson Parks and Services doing such a great job of maintaining this and all the other parks...
