Sunset Park

Sunset Park at 2601 E. Sunset Rd. is a Clark County regional park that has served the whole valley since 1967. It is open daily from 6:00am to 11:00pm.

Kids have 5 playgrounds, a splash pad and the Children's Discovery Area, with interactive play equipment, a native play sculpture and Mojave demonstration gardens. Sports families will find 9 softball fields, 2 Little League fields, 8 basketball courts, 8 tennis courts and 7 sand volleyball courts, plus a 27 hole disc golf course. There are 4 trails covering 3.5 miles for walking, jogging or bike rides.

The pond allows fishing for free with a fishing license, and there is an RC boat ramp. The county asks visitors not to feed the birds, and bread is not bird food. Just south of the pond, a dunes overlook shows the last remaining dunes that once covered most of Paradise Valley, a good mini lesson for school-age kids.

For a party or group picnic, the park has 22 first come first serve areas and 9 reservable ones. The Cottonwood area holds up to 50 people for up to $50 a day at the community rate, and the county suggests sending requests at least 2 weeks ahead. To book a court, call the Sports Unit at (702) 455-8241.
