| - What a great hidden park! I have lived around the corner for years and just found this place, on accident, this past week. I'm sad I have been missing out on this beautiful little hideaway in Vegas! Yay for Police Memorial Park!
The park itself is a lot bigger than it looks from the first glance. It is a long, narrow park filled with all sorts of fun stuff! There are 2 playgrounds, one for little ones and the other for bigger kids. There are also tennis courts in the center that are very well kept. At the far end of the park is a big skate park for the skaters out there. And I almost forgot, there is also a blocked off area to let your dogs run off leash and enjoy nature too!
On top of the active activities, there is a nice walking path that winds it way through the park. It is a lovely path and is also very quiet, so you can totally "zen" out, if you wanted too. It is so quaint up here, you can really just walk the path and mediate at the same time.
This park also has a ton of nice grassy areas. Some areas are flat but there are a ton of rolling hills. My kiddo loved just running around and chasing birds over the hills. It's nice to have park areas to kick a ball around, as well as run up and down some hills too. There is also a big desert landscaped area as well. No matter where you are, it is lovely to look at.
Another big bonus to this park is the massive amounts of benches scattered around. Each bench is situated with a beautiful view laid out directly in front of it. Since this part of town is much higher in elevation, you get a great view of the rest of the valley. This would be a great spot to watch the fireworks on the Strip too! This is a great park to come out and walk and then sit an enjoy simply being outside on a nice day.
There are also 2 memorials to fallen police officers. There is a huge statue in the middle of the park that is beautiful and really touches your heart. There is also a smaller memorial that is a big boulder that has stars on it to commemorate police officers. Police officers put their life on the line to protect us, so I am glad there is a wonderful park in their honor in town.
