Galaxy Park

A Fresh Take on Community Recreation

Nestled in North Las Vegas, Galaxy Park is the new kid on the block in Nevada's outdoor scene. Having opened its doors in May 2022, this nearly 10-acre park sits within the Valley Vista planned community.

What makes this park stand out? Its clever multilevel design creates an interesting landscape while letting parents keep an eye on the kiddos - safety first, right?

Playground Paradise

Galaxy Park has a beach-themed playground featuring the Smart Play BeachComber structure. Children between 5 and 12 can explore various climbing challenges: the Tidal Wave Climber, Traveler Climber, Belt Bridge, Balance Climber, and Sunbeam Climber.

For the slide enthusiasts (and let's be honest, who isn't?), there's an Alpine Slide and Double Wave Slide waiting to deliver that rush of excitement. Just a heads up - while there are traditional swings available, they're somewhat limited, and toddler swings seem to be missing from the lineup.

More Play Adventures

Beyond the main attraction, Galaxy Park scatters plenty of standalone play equipment within the grounds. Adventure-seekers can test their climbing skills on the Lunar Blast Net Climber, Global Motion, and GeoPlex 3-Spoke Tower.

You'll also find hillside slides, Curva Spinners, a Double Bobble Rider, and a DigiRider Rocket Ship offering varied play experiences. The little ones haven't been forgotten - a sandbox area provides an excellent spot for budding architects and treasure hunters.

Comfort Under the Nevada Sun

Knowing the Nevada sun can be intense, the park designers included five large triangular shade sails covering different play zones - a thoughtful touch that makes summer play more bearable. That said, on those peak summer days, you might find yourself wishing for even more shade.

The spacious lawn areas provide plenty of room to spread out a picnic blanket or just lounge around watching the clouds. If you're using a wheelchair, you'll appreciate the specially designed tables in the picnic area.

Get Your Game On

Galaxy Park offers lighted pickleball, volleyball, and basketball courts. Just a word of caution for basketball players - the court sits close to the road, so keep an eye on wayward balls.

For the disc golf enthusiasts, there's a dedicated course to test your throwing accuracy. And if team sports are more your style, the large open field offers plenty of space for an impromptu football game, baseball practice, frisbee throwing, or whatever activity strikes your fancy.

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Dog owners will appreciate that Galaxy Park features two separate dog park areas - one for the big pups and one for the small furballs - where your canine companions can run off-leash to their hearts' content. The large dog section offers some welcome shade, but the small dog area could use more coverage.

Beyond these dedicated spaces, many visitors enjoy strolling the park's trails with their leashed pets, with convenient waste bag stations placed throughout to keep things clean and pleasant.

Designed for Everyone

Inclusion seems to be a priority at Galaxy Park, with the play area thoughtfully positioned away from parking lots and featuring ramps for easier access. The somewhat "sunken" layout creates a natural boundary that gives parents extra peace of mind when watching younger children.

When the sun goes down, the park's automatic lighting system kicks in, extending your outdoor fun well into the evening hours.

The Practical Stuff

You'll discover restroom facilities on-site for when nature calls during your park adventure. Just note that these might occasionally be locked or require passcodes to access.

When open, they provide all the necessities for a comfortable, extended park visit.
