This new mega park sits on land that used to be Craig Ranch Golf Course. In the boom times, the City of North Las Vegas purchased the land and drew up some ridiculously grandiose plans (an aquatic center?!). Unfortunately, the Great Recession hit NLV like Mack truck and many of the plans were scrapped. Fortunately, there was enough earmarked money left to "complete" the park, with some of the original scraps still in the works. As such, much of this park looks like an 18 hole golf course with the greens and tees taken out, but many of the fairways are plain as day. While that might sound like a knock, it actually brings a much welcomed openness to the suburban sprawl that packs as many houses together and jams as much crap into limited park space as possible. There are still the bells and whistles (i.e. excellent playgrounds, a skate park, etc.), but the open trails that weave through expansive green space and scattered trees are the bigger highlight for me. I am hoping the extensive garden network planned for the north side of park gets completed, but if not, the fields of unblemished grass is fine by me.
