Acacia Demonstration Gardens

The gardens are located on the east side of Acacia Park near the east side dog park. This free garden area is used to showcase drought-tolerant plants and sustainable desert landscaping techniques. There are paved walking paths throughout the garden along with interpretive displays providing additional information about this desert-themed garden. Make sure to enjoy some of the other amenities you will find at Acacia Park.

Walking my dogs I decided to come here this morning and visit the dog park. I used to live in this community a few years back. The park is clean. While I was there I checked out the trees, bushes, and plants, so I could get an idea of what would look good in my backyard. It is a nice walking path with benches and informative signs. There is grass removal going on at this time, turning those areas into desert landscaping, which is unfortunate. The public areas are practically the last areas where the community can enjoy the greener areas. The water shortage is real? The way the developers continue to expand Clark County worries me. In a drought, I can understand the cuts on grass, but the profits of the developers seem to override the water shortage.

This was a very relaxing park with great views. Also had a couple of resident cats I ran into.

Recently cleaned up by the city of Henderson. But lots of open spots. Lots of exposed drip watering spots with no plants. Many plants missing identification tags. Could use some work. But still a great place to walk around. Baseball field, soccer and basketball courts. Nice area for small kids with swings, slides and water pad. Restrooms and picnic area available

Easy place for some quick pics for my nephew’s homecoming outfit. We only went about 5 steps into the garden for these, I’m sure there’s better spots with no houses in the background! Would go again!
