| - A gorgeous park for us lucky locals! It has been my top 2 favorite parks in Summerlin for years.
This beautiful wash park is great for walking/running/biking, picnic, kids playing, walking the dogs, soccer and basketball practice...and even "Hiking"! Yes, hiking, too! Read on, if interested.
- Oh yes, this park is very well maintained by the landscape crew and patrolled by the park security. The entire park is wheelchair accessible.
- Its paved path, with pleasant views of the washbeds and the nice houses on the banks above, stretches out to 1.7 gentle miles long from the main Entrance on Lake Mead (west side of Buffalo) to the Rampart end.
- There are TWO beautiful, large grass lawns (on each side of Pueblo Vista), several covered pavilions with grills and picnic tables, three playgrounds, a small basketball court...even a small corner with "fitness exercise stations" in the open rest area/playground by the Rampart end.
- There are plenty of places for resting. Besides pavilions, there are also park benches thoughtfully placed every 0.25mi or so on the path for you to enjoy the beauty of the park in peace! At the Rampart end by the golf course, there are 2 more small rest courts on each side the overpass/tunnel, one of which has a chessboard on its table.
- It has bathroom facilities by the front entrance side. For the Rampart side, there is no restroom, but one could use the facility in the Trent Park Sports Complex on Vegas/Rampart, 0.2mi up.
- For parking, besides the lots beyond the main entrance off Lake Mead, there are parking spaces also on Pueblo Vista St (off Lake Mead), right above the tunnel/overpass, nearby the Lutheran Church and school. There are paved paths off the street overpass leading into the park.
SOMETHING EXTRA:
- To extend the walking distance, one can branch out by going up and down the paths to/from resident areas. For even greater distance, you can also walk another 0.2mi on Vegas towards Rampart to get into the "Trent Park Sports Complex" around the corner. BTW: This park is worth a visit, too.
- For the more adventurous, one can "hike" on several sections of WASH BEDS and/or on the upper DIRT Trails along the school fence or along the perimeters of the residential wall - it'd be almost like HIKING! (see pics).
- Enjoy your "HIKE" but do be CAREFUL and stay clear of areas where there are watering dripper/sprinklers, and have a good pair of walking/hiking shoes.
BTW: I noted that Yelper Daniel S. had already given an outstanding review on this park a few months back, which is informative and a pleasure to read!
- Here, I really just wanted to add that in Pueblo, one can ALSO (1) do some "In-City Hiking" and (2) extend walking distance.
