Beauty and Benefit of Public Spaces
City parks and open space improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our communities, and make our cities and neighborhoods more attractive places to live and work. Numerous studies have shown the social, environmental, economic, and health benefits parks bring to a City and its people.
The City of Henderson maintains five unique public spaces; each featuring a variety of greenery, playground equipment, gazebos and grilling areas.
