Clean Green Boulder City, Nevada

Boulder City has some of the nicest restaurants and views around Southern Nevada. Downtown Boulder City is located just minutes from Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, Nevada. Boulder City is known as Clean Green Boulder City because the air is clean and there are numerous beautifully landscaped parks.

Two well known parks in Boulder City are Veterans Memorial Park located on Buchanan Blvd and Veterans Memorial Drive and Hemingway Park on the northern side of the town near a beautiful mountain range.

Veterans Memorial Park is large and overlooks the beautiful Eldorado Valley to the southwest. There are a number of walking trails and a freshwater man-made lake. It would be a great place for couples to go to enjoy a quiet walk and even a picnic. It is located at the intersection of Veterans Memorial Drive and Buchanan Blvd.

The park is quite small, but it is located in a beautiful location. At the border of the park is a mountain range known as the River Mountains. They are quite beautiful. If you are lucky, you may see some mountain bighorn ship grazing on the field of grass in the park. It is a great place for couples to have a quiet and relaxing picnic.
