Laurelwood Park

Laurelwood Park sits at 4300 Newcastle Rd in the 89103 zip code, part of the Las Vegas public parks system built around outdoor play. The park is open every day from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, year round, so families can stop by before school, after work, or on a weekend afternoon without checking a seasonal schedule.

For kids and teens in the 5 to 18 age range, the park lists playground access, open field play, soccer, tennis, and picnicking as its main activities. Two features built for organized movement stand out: soccer fields for pickup games or practice, and tennis courts for kids learning the sport or working on technique. Younger children have playgrounds to climb on, while the open grass area gives room for tag, frisbee, or simply running around.

The amenities list is long for a neighborhood park. There are BBQ areas and picnic tables for birthday parties or a meal after a game, benches scattered through the grounds for parents watching practice, and a water spigot for refilling bottles on hot Las Vegas afternoons. A shade structure covers part of the playground, which matters given how intense the sun gets from late spring through early fall. Paved paths connect the different sections of the park, useful for strollers or kids on bikes and scooters. A park ranger building sits on site, and there is a separate dog park for families walking a pet before or after the kids play. Restrooms, trash receptacles, and parking round out the practical features.

Admission is free, which makes Laurelwood a low-cost option for regular outdoor time, whether that means a weekly soccer meetup, tennis practice, or an afternoon at the playground. Because it is a city-run park, there is no registration process or age check at the entrance. Anyone planning a group outing, a birthday party at the picnic tables, or a coached practice session on the soccer fields can call the parks department at (702) 455-8200 with scheduling or reservation questions.
