About the Program

Douglas A. Selby Park and Trailhead sits at 1293 N Sandhill Rd in the 89110 zip code, and it does not charge admission. The park is open every day of the year from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., which gives families an unusually wide window compared to programs that run on a fixed class schedule. Someone can bring kids for an early morning walk before school or head over after dinner for an hour on the playground.

The grounds include a children's playground, a walking trail, open grass areas, picnic spots, shade structures, and restrooms. That combination supports outdoor play, walking, cycling, and pick-up sports, along with general playground activities for younger kids. The shade structures and picnic areas make it practical to stay for a couple of hours rather than just passing through, and having restrooms on site means a visit does not have to be cut short.

The listed age range covers 5 to 18, split into a 5 to 12 bracket and a 13 to 18 bracket. That spread works because the playground equipment serves the younger group while the trail and open grass give older kids room for sports or just walking with friends. The park is marked as accommodating for children with special needs, though this listing does not specify which particular accommodations are available on site, so it is worth calling ahead if that matters for your family.

There is no seasonal closure noted, so the park operates year round rather than shutting down for part of the year like a seasonal camp would. Because it is a public park rather than a staffed program, there are no instructors, classes, or registration involved. Parents supervise their own kids, and the amenities are available on a first come basis during the posted hours.

For questions about current conditions, accessibility, or any posted closures, families can call the park at (702) 229-6718. More information is also available through the City of Las Vegas website at lasvegasnevada.gov, which lists this park under its parks and facilities section.

First Visit Guide

What most outdoor and hiking programs expect. Confirm the details with Douglas A. Selby Park and Trailhead before you go.

What to bring

  • More water than you think. A liter per person minimum, more from May through September, because out here heat ends hikes long before tired legs do.
  • Closed-toe shoes, hat, sunscreen, snacks
  • A downloaded or printed trail map. Cell coverage drops fast in the canyons.

Before you go

  • Check park hours and reservations. Red Rock's scenic drive uses timed entry part of the year.
  • Start early. By mid-morning in summer the trails are a hazard, not a workout.
  • Tell someone which trail you're taking.

The first visit

The easiest first outing is a ranger-led family program: short distances, shade breaks, and a guide who knows where the restrooms are.

For sensory-sensitive kids

Open trails are naturally calm. Pack ear protection anyway for windy overlooks, and pick out-and-back trails so your child always knows the way out is the way you came.
