| - I am so sad to write this review, as a Las Vegas native who was raised at this park I have seen this place just be trashed more and more!! It is so heart breaking. The park is beautiful, really it is, tons of grass, beautiful trees, the sun sets and rises perfectly on the pond, there are plenty of athletic fields and courts as well as play grounds and pic nic tables. For such a big and beautiful park that has such high traffic, i have to ask where is the park security? Park rangers? Anything???
People come to this park for the beauty and leave it completely trashed. The pond is complete scum (literally) and there are cigarette buds in every crack of the sidewalk. Food debris including chicken bones lingers at every picnic table less than a foot away from the trash can. Homeless are sleeping on the benches, or even camping out in their tents and hiding in the bushes!
One Saturday I couldn't even walk around the pond without being harassed... in fact I was harassed twice before I made it back to my car. Parties popping off at every table with music and balloons and large crowds but no one there to monitor the park, no security to make sure there wasn't alcohol or a fight didn't break out... nothing. I had to depend on a good samaritan to step forward or to use my pepper spray.
Today I took my 9 month old son to feed the ducks and the pond is filthy. The ducks aren't even in the water it's has so much scum. Cans are literally resting on top of the surface without movement. And it smelled horrific!
I've watched this place go from being beautiful to being disgusting, but not even just ugly disgusting, it has become unsafe! and it breaks my heart!! I hope the city will hire the appropriate people to manage and maintain this park and preserve its beauty!!
