Wilbur & Theresa Faiss Park

A Legacy of Love

Located in Las Vegas sits this 8.1-acre space named after Wilbur and Theresa Faiss, who made headlines in 2012 as one of America's longest-married couples. You can find this green oasis on S. Fort Apache Road, right next to the Wet 'n' Wild water park - talk about convenient if you're planning a double dose of outdoor fun!

Playground Paradise

The playground here has great variety to keep children of all ages entertained. Parents of little ones will appreciate the separate play areas for younger and older children, making it a stress-free zone if you've got toddlers in tow. The equipment roster is impressive: multiple slides (including a tall slide that's sure to thrill the brave ones), rock climbing walls for the adventurous types, monkey bars for hanging around, and good old-fashioned swings that never go out of style.

Safety hasn't been overlooked either - the playground features rubber flooring to cushion any tumbles, while shade sails provide much-needed protection from Vegas's famous sunshine. Because let's face it, nobody wants a sunburned kiddo!

Room to Roam

Beyond the playground, you'll discover lush, well-maintained grassy areas fantastic for everything from impromptu soccer games to peaceful dog walks. Planning a family get-together? The picnic facilities have you covered with tables and BBQ grills ready for your cookout skills. When the desert heat cranks up, retreat to the shaded seating areas for a breather.

The park is generally clean and well-kept - always a plus when you're spreading out a picnic blanket. The open spaces offer a peaceful spot to unwind while taking in views of the surrounding landscape and mountains in the distance.

Get Moving

If you're looking to squeeze in some exercise, the park's walking and jogging paths wind through the grounds. They're not extensive, but they provide pleasant routes for a daily constitutional or a light workout without having to venture far from home.

Know Before You Go

There's plenty of parking available, however you might need to circle around on busy weekends when everyone has the same great idea. Restrooms are on-site, but their cleanliness can be hit-or-miss depending on when you visit. One thing to note: the park doesn't have perimeter fencing, so keep an extra eye on energetic little ones who might wander off.

Wilbur & Theresa Faiss Park is popular with both locals and visitors for outdoor recreation, quiet relaxation, and social gatherings. Its location near Faiss Middle School and Cowabunga Bay water park makes it especially popular during afternoons and weekends - plan accordingly if you prefer a quieter experience!
