| - When it comes to parks, it seems like newer is almost always nicer. My favorite Las Vegas parks have changed over the years, and they keep moving westward with the urban sprawl. Growing up, I loved Sunset Park. In recent years, I have preferred Desert Breeze Park. But now Summerlin Centre Community Park is my park of choice.
I just "discovered" it over the summer, so it's been too hot for me to fully enjoy it, but I'm looking forward to spending more time here in the cooler months ahead. The view of the Spring Mountains to the west is very pleasant, and so is the fact that the park is not overrun with dogs. It will be great to come here for a picnic on a mild, breezy day, and just relax for the afternoon.
UPDATE (01/18/2011): Now that I've been back a few times, I'm revising the content of my review but not my rating. The times I've been back, there is usually one person (occasionally two) playing fetch with their dog in one of the wide open fields. The small playground area in one corner of the park is usually bustling with children while their parents stand around and supervise them.
There is plenty of space in the central fields to play catch or fly a kite or operate a remote-controlled model airplane, or to plant a chair and read a book, all of which I have seen people doing.
The thing I enjoy most is jogging around the perimeter of the park (on the paved walkway) to get my exercise.
