Red Ridge Park and Splash Pad

Red Ridge Park and Splash Pad sits at 7027 S El Capitan Way in Las Vegas, zip code 89148, and it is a free public park rather than a structured program, so there is no registration or fee involved.

The park welcomes kids from 2 through 18, with the listing breaking that down into three brackets: 0 to 3, 4 to 12, and 13 to 18. Activities on site are unstructured: water play at the splash pad, general play in the play area, picnicking in the group picnic area, and pickup games of baseball, basketball, or tennis. There are also trails for hiking or walking.

Facilities include a lighted ballfield and a Little League baseball field, a lighted basketball court, a lighted tennis court, an open grass area, restrooms, and a seasonal splash pad. The lighting on the sports courts means evening play is realistic for families working around school and work schedules.

The park is listed as open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM. The splash pad itself is seasonal, so it is not expected to be running year-round even though the park stays open on the same daily schedule, and the operating season for the site overall is listed as seasonal rather than year-round.

There is no cost to enter or use any of the facilities, since the price range is listed as free. The listing does not include information on special needs accommodations, languages spoken beyond English, or a phone number for the park, so questions about splash pad operating dates are best directed to Clark County's parks department through the website listed for the park.

For a family in the 89148 area of Las Vegas looking for a no-cost outdoor option that works for a toddler and a teenager at the same time, Red Ridge Park covers a wide age range with distinct zones, from the splash pad and play area for younger kids to the lighted courts and ballfield for older kids and evening sports.
