Hemenway Park (also known as Hemenway Valley Park) is a park in Boulder City, Nevada, United States. Opened in 1984, the park hosts community gatherings and sports events. It is equipped with tennis courts, basketball courts, a softball field, horseshoe throwing areas, picnic spots, gazebos, and a playground. Desert bighorn sheep frequent the park between April and October. They climb down from the River Mountains to eat the readily available supply of grass and to get hydrated from the park's irrigation sprinklers. Since 2013 the sheep have been infected with pneumonia which has caused the number of sheep visiting the park to drop to 50 from 60 in 2023. The animals attract tourists and photographers to the park, including those on tour buses bound for Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon. The sheep are not always at the park, so to reduce inquiries about whether they were there, the city installed the Ram Cam in 2023. The Ram Cam provides a live-streamed view of the park for 24 hours a day on YouTube.
