New Dog Park In Henderson

There is a new dog park in Henderson. It's located at Race Track Dr. and Burkholder, at the aquatic and senior center.
The park has two play areas, both smaller than the parks at the Dog's Fancier park at the end of Flamingo but bigger than Acia park in Henderson.
The park is nice but not great. It has some dog toys, but dogs don't go to the park to play on dog toys- they go to sniff other dogs butts and play with other dogs. It has more seating than the other parks, but much of the seating is in the sun, which is not very good in the heat of the summer.
Many of the dog owners let their dogs go and run but there were also quite a few who stood around their dog like they would hang around a toddler at a park. These people need to cut the bonds and let their dog run and play. Hopefully in time, they will just let their dogs run and play with other dogs.
So, kudos to the City of Henderson in making a new dog park. I know they tried to make it a dog friendly park by putting in the doggy obstacle course and some doggy toys, but 99.9% of the dogs don't want to play on this and just .1% of the owners want their dogs to do this. But it is a nice park for the dogs to run and play and sniff their doggy friends.
