henderson parks: Saturday Morning Recharge with Shadow - 04/25/15 06:24 AM
It's been a busy and productive last few weeks for me working with buyers from Pennsylvania and Hawaii. Long days showing homes and helping them get acclimated to southern Nevada meant short walks in the park with my dog after dinner.
 
This morning I 'scheduled an appointment' with Shadow at Heritage Bark Park. It's been a while since he'd seen his friend Fitz, and he got in a few fence runs with the big dogs in the adjacent area.
 
Happy Sheltie, happy owner!

henderson parks: Black Mountain Sunset - 01/12/11 02:57 PM
One of the best ways to end the day is a trip to Heritage Bark Park with Shadow. The park has sweeping panoramic views of the Las Vegas valley, including the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. Not to be outdone, sometimes nature puts on a show of its own as the sun dips behind Black Mountain.

Henderson Nevada's Cool Pools
It's strange that as I write this on June 12, the temperature in Henderson is an unseasonably cool 72 degrees. But soon enough it will rise to the triple digits, maybe even past 110. When that happens, there's sure to be an increase in activity at the seven public pools run by the Henderson Parks and Recreation Department as residents try to beat the heat.
