SHOELACE MOUNTAIN.
So I am a Vegas native and grew up in the area of this park. My husband and I grew up calling the mountain the park is based around Shoelace Mountain because it looks like a big shoe. Anyways, It is so nice to have such a well kept, interesting park near my house. I love to take my dog up the hiking trail all the way to the top. The top has a great view of the Las Vegas Valley and is great to just sit and ponder life. The trail itself is a little over a half a mile round trip. There are a couple of rest areas in case you get too hot or winded.
The rest of the park is great for families. I don't have children but the playground is always full of children and families picnicking.
