Gold Crest Park

Park Overview

Situated in North Las Vegas, Gold Crest Park has been a local green retreat since 1999. This 7.8-acre linear park might not be the biggest in the area, but it offers just what you need for a refreshing break from city life. With its walking and jogging trail stretching throughout, it's fantastic for getting those steps in or simply wandering at your own pace. Regardless of whether you're looking to clear your head with some light exercise or find a quiet spot to relax, the park provides a peaceful backdrop for whatever you're in the mood for.

Amenities and Features

The park strikes a nice balance with open grassy spaces and mature trees scattered throughout, so you can either soak up some sun or find a shady spot to cool off. The winding trail encourages exploration as it guides you through the entire space.

If you're bringing little ones along, they'll appreciate the playground equipment that's particularly suited for toddlers and younger children. It's nothing fancy, but it does the job of keeping the kiddos entertained while you catch your breath.

Planning a small gathering? Gold Crest Park offers several covered picnic areas complete with tables and charcoal barbecue grills - great for those weekend cookouts with family and friends. Each area comes with trash bins nearby, making cleanup a breeze after your meal.

Location and Atmosphere

One of the park's defining features is its position next to a dry creek bed, which adds a touch of natural character to the landscape. The setting creates a surprisingly tranquil atmosphere that helps you forget you're still within city limits. It's like a little pocket of calm in the midst of North Las Vegas.

Dog parents, take note - the park is dog-friendly, and you'll often see people walking their four-legged friends along the trails. Just remember there's no designated off-leash area, so keep those pups on their leashes. If you're driving over, you'll find the parking situation pretty accommodating with a spacious lot.

Facilities

You'll discover public restrooms available during park hours, but the maintenance can be hit or miss depending on when you visit. It might be worth bringing some hand sanitizer just in case.

The park welcomes visitors from 6AM to 11PM daily, giving you plenty of flexibility whether you're an early bird looking for a sunrise stroll or prefer an evening walk under the stars.
