Cornerstone Park

What a cool little park this is. It has a little bit of everything. A grassy area, volley ball court, basket ball courts, hiking, etc. I came here for the hiking.
I guess it is more of a place to walk than really hike. There is an upper/​outer trail that is paved and convenient. Then there is a lower unpaved/​natural turf trail. This lower one goes closer to the lakes edge and provides great viewing of the many birds just chilling here. I took the lower trail to give more of the hiking feel. Here I saw a good variety of birds. Maybe four different duck species, Canadian geese, and sea gulls. There were some non-​water fowl here too. Starlings, sparrows and the rest of the usual city birds. The park may be surrouned by urban development but with the lake, the marsh and all the animals, it feels like wilderness. Even where the urban world makes its presence know, there is nature. Like the little urban desert glacier of frozen runoff water coming into the lake.
Cornerstone Park is well maintained and clean. The people visiting the park and hiking, much like myself, were so friendly. Nearly everybody I passed by bid me good morning. There were people walking, people jogging and people taking their dogs for a stroll. Regardless of their recreational status, they were all polite and courteous. It is refreshing to see in this spralling metropolis with little sense of community.

My boyfriend loves this park. He runs at least 4 miles five days out of the week there. It feels very safe and the restrooms are nice (for a park anyway). He says that the view is always nice and keeps him entertained while running.

We had Family Union here last June. We had so much space and fun…
The park here is always nice and clean. I feel safe every time walking around here. Take my dog to walk at different time of the day. He always enjoy it too. There is lake with ducks. So free enjoyment for the whole family.

Great park for many outdoor activities!
This is a really great park for any age. They have a nice paved trail surrounding the water. I love to use this for running and biking. Along the route you’ll pass picnic areas, basketball courts and well kept grassy areas. They don’t want you to feed the birds as you will see many of them hanging out either in the grass or taking a swim.
They have plenty of paved parking to this beautiful setting. If you’re nearby, take advantage of Cornerstone!

Love this park!!! So beautiful only downside is that there is duck poop everywhere on the grass.

I love walking the path! Appreciate how clean the park is kept especially the restrooms!

Great park that offers a little bit of everything for everyone. Can walk, jog, skate, play volleyball or basketball. Kids can feed ducks or run in grass.

What a great park. A really nice walking area for the kids and dogs and the people are really nice. They have lots of basketball hoops and plenty of room to play and run around. I come around sunset because it is very pretty and cooling off in vegas.

Cornerstone is such a great park. Clean, well maintained, and unlike anything else in Henderson. The park offers a lot to visitors; grills with covered picnic areas, basketball/​volley ball courts, multiple paths and trails, and of course the very cool man made lake/​marsh. There are plenty of geese and ducks living it up in the marsh so watch out for all of the bird crap around them. Its great to see all the birds but remember its prohibited to feed them.
Located off Wigwam and Arroyo Grande, Cornerstone is in a friendly and safe neighborhood. The picnic areas have always been clean and offer a nice view of the lake. The courts and jogging trails are well maintained and the park is rarely busy. Definitely one of the better parks in the area.

Really nice park, I actually like this a bit more than the whitney ranch mesa. Yesterday afternoon at about 5 I went for a walk around the pond (which is one of many trails you can take) and it’s about a mile, give or take. Really relaxing, I saw tons of ducklings and a train roll by, pretty nice walk given the time of day and the heat. The park is also clean, you rarely find messes on the trails and there is limited litter, which is always a plus! Plan on making this my frequent walking/​jogging park.

Nice trails and atmosphere. Duck ponds are a great feature. In the best I watch people throw bones in the water for the dogs to jump in and catch. I’m not a dog person but I think that’s cute. Pretty chill and never too many people there.

I would say with the marsh/​pond/​lake this is a very special and unique park in Henderson.
I have been to a birthday here and for a 5K event. This just goes to show that this park has many uses.
Yay to bathrooms.
The covered BBQ areas/​tables are nice for a special occasion.
All that grass is great to lay down on, run around on, and it sure is a beautiful color. Just be careful because it can be dangerous with all the bird droppings.
There are plenty of paved paths to walk, jog, run, or ride your bike on.
Having the birds as part of the park is awesome for people to see nature up close, but there should be NO feeding of the wildlife at all.
Parking is plenty and with the park being near the freeway that is helpful as well.
There are basketball courts and sand volleyball courts.
Trash cans are numerous and they even have recycling bins– so there is no excuse for a dirty park.
Street lights line many of the paths and walkways so that is great for late night strolls.
Bring a hat and maybe some sunscreen as the trees are not very big and the path around the marsh does not provide for shade.

Huge clean park complete with grills and great covered picnic areas, big basketball court, volleyball court, trails for biking and jogging, and a cool man made lake/​marsh where you can witness different species of waterfowl in their element.
Anywhere that you can enjoy animals in their own natural surrounding, I am an instant fan. I got to get up real close to some Canadian Geese grazing on the grass with their little ones and we also walked along the lake and saw a family of Mallard Ducks, what looked like a Sandpiper, and a Moorhen species. It is totally therapeutic and very enjoyable doing so, but I have a big concern that irritates the F out of me!!!
Hopefully The City of Henderson Parks and Recreation will enforce a rule that prohibits anyone from feeding the wildlife. If you’ve been to Hemenway Park in Boulder City, Big Horn Sheep come down during the hot summer months from the hillside to graze. You are allowed to see/​watch them, but you aren’t allowed to feed or come in contact with the sheep at any time or face a stiff fine. I strongly feel that the waterfowl that frequent Cornerstone Park should have the same respect!
By feeding the wildlife, you are disrupting their way of life finding food for themselves. Observing them at close range when we first got there, all the geese were just fine grazing on the grass, bugs, and other insects. The ducks, moorhen, and sandpiper were seen also fending for themselves with insects and small fish in the lake/​marsh area. They DO NOT need to be fed any type of human food, and by doing so, you are only letting them get accustomed to «human handouts» also contributing to future health issues, and even affecting their migratory process over the years. These creatures will also lose their fear of humans and become very aggressive. If you’ve been to Haunauma Bay on Oahu back in the day and tried to feed the fish while snorkeling you know what I’m talking about. (They have banned the feeding of fish for some time now)
During our last few minutes at the park, I saw a family with a bag of hot dog buns heading towards the lake, and this other guy scatter a bag of popcorn all over the grass causing the geese to get aggressive with each other. Totally different scenario from when we first saw them. If no such rule gets enforced, it’ll become a mess like Sunset Park and Aliante Nature Discovery Park is. Have fun, bring the family, respect the surroundings, and feed your face if you need to… NOT THE WILDLIFE!!! ALOHA!!!

This is my dog’s favorite park to go to… seriously, he’s constantly begging me to bring him here. Cornerstone Park has a lot of the things he loves… a large open lush grassy area for him to run around, roll around, and pee on. Lots of trees and beautiful plant life, for him to pee on. It also has a nice dirt and paved trails around it’s lake for him to sniff at, bark at other dogs and oh yeah, pee everywhere.
I only walk my dog here, but it seems like a great place to get your jog on, or your bike on. There’s even basketball courts and some sand filled volleyball pits. If the sporting thing is not for you they have a bunch of covered picnic areas with BBQ grills, all overlooking the this tranquil lake (very cool as the sun’s setting) and all it’s wildlife. Which brings me to the geese and ducks, they’re everywhere around this lake. And they love to be fed, so bring all your stale bread and have at it… but, if the geese start hissing, you’re too close and if you’re feeding them up on the paved and sidewalk areas, watch out for the goose poops. In fact, watch out for poop in general… irresponsible dog owners let their animals defecate freely and don’t bother picking up after them, even though the trails are equipped with those little bag dispensers. I guess they think it’s like fertilizer or something. It’s not, people… it’s gross.
Cornerstone Park is little hidden gem in the middle of Henderson, if you want to get away from the crowds at Sunset Park. So, bring your dogs, bring your kids and enjoy some nature. And please, clean up after your pets (and kids…)

A big park that not a lot of people know about. Opened just a few years ago Cornerstone is still kind of a unknown spot in Henderson. Which is great if you don’t like a spot that’s super crowded like Sunset Park. Anyways this park is more for relaxing than it is for entertainment and kids. Some people bitch because there is no playground for kids but boo hoo there’s a million parks in Henderson that have them go take them somewhere else. What makes this place unique is the little lake, being in the desert it’s always refreshing to see a body of water. The lake attracts a lot of birds, so bring your camera if you want to get some great birding shots. There’s also a basketball court, volleyball court a huge shaded picnic area and my personal favorite single shaded picnic spots with BBQ grills that face the lake. This is a great place to exercise with a large grass area for soccer and nice paved path that circles around the lake makes for a nice workout. I’ve had countless summer BBQ’s here this is the perfect spot to bring family and friends. Just remember your citronella in the summer time when the bugs come out. This place has a huge parking lot so finding a good spot is never an issue. If you have yet to pay this place a visit i suggest you do, go experience something new, it just might end up being a new favorite spot. THE BEST TIME TO VISIT IS NOW!, the weather is perfect there’s a ton of birds to be seen what more do you want?

Seriously my favorite park. It’s so big and there are different places set up to sit and relax. Cleaner than other parks and has a nice trail.
Also love their volleyball and basketball courts.

I like this park I really do but it’s too far and the trees aren’t fully grown so there aren’t a lot of natural shading. Plus it took a long time for them to build it. 1 star. haha come on now of course I’m only joking. It’s probably my favorite park in the area.
Located just north of 215 and Stephanie St, Cornerstone Park is a nice park where right in the middle you’ll see a huge 31 acre lake that stretches across the entire park. You’re not suppose to swim in the lake, so please don’t, I don’t even know if it’s safe to but there are ducks, dragonflies, The lake is surround by a walking path so it is a nice peaceful walk if you do decide to however there aren’t any water fountains or much shade along the path except for in the pavilion area.
There’a two separate pavilion so there can be two parties going on at the same time. Both has heavy concrete tables and grills, bring your own charcoal and fire. Restrooms are usually clean. And there’s electrical outlets.
Large grass field, don’t remember if it was fake or real grass. There’s 2 lighted full court basketball courts and some sand volleyball pits.
I’ve never seen it busy with what seems like enough parking to handle it if it got busy.

Stopped in yesterday for a UYE for Ife A’s birthday potluck yesterday.
This park is nice!
There was a HUGE shaded area with picnic tables and a couple grills that we used. Thank goodness for the shade!
Everything seemed super clean, although I didn’t check the bathrooms.
I was very surprised at how empty it was, although it was 111 degrees yesterday…
The park also has several trails, my fella said that he used to come down with his dog a couple years ago and they would walk the trails.
All in all, this seems to be a great place to come hang out when it isn’t roasting outside. I’d like to stop out in the spring!

Pleasantly surprised to discover this park!
Came for a UYE for Ife’s birthday– we had a potluck picnic at one of the covered tables. The fact that the tables are covered is noteworthy, and there are plenty of trash and recycling receptacles. Grills were also nearby and clean, and there were bathroom and water fountain facilities here as well.
Water level seems to be down right now (then again, it’s the middle of summer) — but there were still ducks present.
PSA: Don’t feed ducks bread, it’s not good for them; instead, bring halved grapes, cracked corn/​barley/​oats/​grain, or actual bird seed/​duck feed pellets. The more you know!
For a Sunday afternoon, this place was completely deserted– a few teenagers on scooters came by but it’s not the hoppin’ place I’d expect given that it’s surrounded by subdivisions.
Good choice for grilling out with a group, they have everything you need along with nearby convenience and grocery stores to stock up on supplies or grab things you forgot.

It was my first time at this park today and I love it! There are many dirt trails that you can walk, all lined along the water and also many lit paved sidewalks and trails as well! There’s something about being by the water and ducks that make walks so much nicer! Love it! I also really like that all the sidewalks and trails are wide enough for multiple people and enough space to walk dogs.
There are basketball courts, volleyball nets, an open grassy field for soccer and a large shaded area with tables. There are also a few separate covered tables along the field as well. The restrooms are clean and upkept and there are many parking spaces.
The only thing that would make it better is if they had attached doggy water fountains at the base of a few water fountains like at sunset park. This will probably be my regular park from now on :)
