Just south of the entrance to the Mountain’s Edge master planned community, Exploration Park packs a lot of activity within its nearly 80 acres. Presently there are 24 developed park acres with the remaining acreage dedicated to open space and trails. The park’s focal point is the 2,846-foot-high Exploration Peak with walking and bike trails leading to the top for great views of the Las Vegas Valley and Mountain’s Edge community. Another unique element in the park is the custom Old West setting which blends the natural elements of the area’s geography and history. It includes a western town with building replicas and a covered wagon play structure, an Indian village with web teepee climber, and archaeology dig site. Other park amenities include playground equipment, water play area with spray jets, horseshoe pit, outdoor amphitheater and more walking trails. Picnic areas are available on a first come, first serve basis. |
