My kids love this park! It's got two playground areas, one for smaller kids, and one for the older kids. There's also a really fun educational area, where there's a huge map of the world, math problems, colors, numbers, and letters! There's a nice walking path around the park, connecting them all. The location is gorgeous, right near Lone Mountain. My favorite part: it's almost completely fenced in! The only down side is it's not super close to the bathrooms, which are located at the larger Lone Mountain Regional Park. read more

Lone Mountain Park is a regional park situated on the northwest side of the valley, adjacent to Lone Mountain, making it an optimal destination for outdoor activities and exercise. The park features equestrian facilities, including a covered practice arena and two round riding pens, thereby attracting horse enthusiasts. In addition to the equestrian facilities, the park offers several picnic areas available on a first-come, first-served basis, as well as reservable areas equipped with gazebos, tables, and grills. Other amenities include two pickleball courts, basketball courts, and tennis courts. The park also features numerous playgrounds, including two distinctive areas: the educational area in the top section of the Discovery Park and the log/horse play area. Trails throughout the park provide breathtaking views of the surrounding desert landscape and the city. Beautiful all around! Come for get togethers, birthdays or even to get fresh air. Can't go wrong either way!! read more

Lone Mountain Discovery Park - Playgrounds Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

It's a decent park that many use as a base for hiking nearby. The covered portion of the playground is fine, but the picnic tables nearby are inevitably overrun by pigeons. In the hotter weather this means there really isn't any place to sit. It's easy to see from the main road whether the park is busy, which is useful. read more

Super cute park. Has a lot of dog park running areas. Basketball counts, Tennis courts and more. This park is connected to the lone mountain trails too. read more

We're fortunate to live less than a mile away from this beautiful park, which is actually three parks in one. The south side (east side of the mountain) is the dog park. There are four total sections, (2 for large dogs & 2 for the small dogs) but only two are open at a time, allowing the other two to be fertilized and sanitized. The community here is great, and, of course, the dogs love it! If you follow the path toward Lone Mountain Road, you'll come to a fork. Heading right will take you past the tennis and pickleball courts, and if you keep going, you'll enter Children's Discovery Park. It has a big, wide grassy area, lots of playground equipment, beautifully landscaped and very clean. If you veer left at the fork, you'll pass the equestrian arenas. Continuing left brings you to Upper Lone Mountain, which borders Lone Mountain Road. This is a massive park with at least a dozen gazebos equipped with picnic tables, playground, barbecue grills, a beautiful walking path, and a large central grassy area. There are also tennis courts, basketball courts, bocce ball, and shuffleboard. The entire walk, out and back, covers about three miles. I take my dog here daily, often twice a day. The park is so spacious and varied that we're always able to switch things up and never get bored. And of course, I didn't even mention the mountain itself. There's a path that circles the mountain itself, it's about 3.2 miles. Or if you're very adventurous, you can actually climb the mountain. It's a short climb, but it is steep and there is a lot of loose gravel so coming down can be a little challenging. Suggest wearing hiking shoes and maybe even bring a pole. This park truly is a hidden gem! read more

Lone Mountain Discovery Park - Big wide, open grassy areas for the dogs to run - Playgrounds Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This park is super duper close to our home, so we come pretty often. Usually we enjoy a walk around the paved path or hike up the mountain for a beautiful sunset view. Note: the mountain hike is short and easy, but very steep, BE CAREFUL! But this most recent visit we came across the BEST DOG PARK EVER! Usually our dog joins us for our walks, but when we take him to a dog park we go to Barkin Basin on Alexander. We were very pleasantly surprised to find Lone Mountain Discovery Park's new dog park! There are two section's, small dogs and large dogs, across from each other. In between is a nice big horse & dog statue. This park has courses for some fun pet training, plenty of green space, and even tennis balls! I couldn't get over how cute the fire hydrant water fountain was! Lone Mountain has been our go-to for walks, hikes, and picnics... but now it's also our go-to for a dog park! Much better and more quiet & clean than Barkin' Basin. Plus the view is incredible. read more

Great educational Park. There's plenty of fun stuff for kids. Nice sidewalks and lots of benches and picnic tables.

Education at the Park! Fantastic idea! Wish more parks would adopt this concept for kids. Fun day and plenty of space to roam while learning. There's even an Equestrian space for horses, about 4 playgrounds too. read more

Gorgeous park with lots of playgrounds. Smaller parking lot. Lots of grass and a walking trail. Round statue set up in the middle. There's also tennis fields lots of them. I didn't stay long because some old dude with an aggressive dog ruined the atmosphere. No water playground. read more

This is a fabulous park to get some cardio and socially distance yourselves during the current coronavirus crisis. Even before the crisis hit, we used the trail that goes around Lone Mountain. It's about a two-mile loop once around and it's a well-groomed gravel path. The park also has tennis courts, a playground, and open fields. There is also an equestrian area where I've seen people working out their horses. Highly recommended for outdoor fun and keeping your sanity. read more

This. Park. Is. Amazing! I recently discovered this location and had no idea one could hike up the mountain. They have an awesome trail through the far west side for those who want to hike with minimal effort, an average area through the center on the east side, and a difficult trek on the north side. Something for everyone. You can choose to park closer to the 215, near the Lone Mountain side, or off of Alexander, depending on which route you plan on taking. Once you reach the top... AMAZING. Nothing like it. You have an absolutely breathtaking view of almost the complete Las Vegas Valley with sweeping views of Red Rock Canyon in the west, and Centennial Hills to the north, making it hard to believe you are atop a mountain in the middle of a city. It also includes full basketball courts, which are packed day and night, some adorable play areas for the kiddos, and plenty of grass for your four-legged friends. If I could live at this park I would. read more

This is a great park! There's so much to do and so many areas to walk around and explore. Kids loved it and so did my dog

The Equestrian Park play equipment definitely needs an upgrade and some shade. But it looks like they are making some improvements to the entire park, so hopefully that is on the list. Beautiful views though and you can see people riding their horses which is nice. Definitely worth checking out, but not on a hot sunny day. Again... There is NO shade ! read more

Well maintained park in the northwest side of town. Lots of wide open space for the dogs to roam and plenty playgrounds for the kiddos. I especially like the one designated for the toddlers. Made coming to the park easier for me when my kids were that age. Didn't have to worry about the bigger kids knocking them down or them getting hurt if they fell down (spongy flooring). There's a basketball court and further down there's an equestrian trail and a few more apparatuses to test your climbing skills. And if you're up for it, you can walk across the parking lot and hike up Lone Mountain to take in the gorgeous views. It's one of my favorite hikes, especially when you're short on time. Lots of parking too. Hidden gem if you ask me! read more

Lone Mountain Discovery Park is a neighborhood park that is a gateway to Lone Mountain. It sits in the northwest part of the Las Vegas Valley off Jensen Street between Alexander Street and Lone Mountain Road. The scenery is more old West than Sun Belt City.This is a part of Las Vegas that resembles a scene from "The Waltons" more than a scene from "Oceans Eleven". Lone Mountain Discovery Park is surrounded by desert and ranch homes that sit on large lots. This is a neighborhood where the natural landscape keeps back the hyper development along the 215 Freeway and Craig Road (westernmost point is at the park). It is no discovery that if you add a stunning mountain to the landscape that you have a winning park. Lone Mountain Discovery Park celebrates Lone Mountain. It is connected to a perimeter trail that encircles Lone Mountain. This park is a gateway to Lone Mountain hiking. At the back of the park in the shadow of Lone Mountain, a right turn on the perimeter trail leads to the trail that climbs up to Lone Mountain summit. Follow the perimeter trail to the north facing of the mountain, and when the 215 is to the right, the trail up to the summit will be on the left. At the back of the park, a left turn on the perimeter trail connects to steep trails that lead to caves. The perimeter trail is also a special place for a hike or jog around Lone Mountain. Lone Mountain Discovery Park is also a nice neighborhood park in the shadow of Lone Mountain. There are plenty of picnic tables (unfortunately with graffiti carved in), trails for walking a dog, and a playground for children. The star of the park is the close up vista of Lone Mountain. I use Lone Mountain Discovery Park as my base for a hike to the summit of Lone Mountain and a hike around Lone Mountain. There is the perception that the activity here makes it a less risky place to leave my vehicle than the much closer trailhead at the end of Vegas Vista. I feel that the extended scenic hike to Lone Mountain increases the anticipation of the climb and acquaints me with Lone Mountain. If I am getting all this exercise climbing up a mountain, the extended walk is no sweat (not literally). Before and after the hiking, I enjoy relaxing at a picnic table. I recommend driving a distance to Lone Mountain Discovery Park when it is used as a gateway to hiking up or around Lone Mountain. It is not a discovery that a neighborhood park that is the hub of a trail that encircles a mountain is worthy of 4 stars. And it is no discovery that Lone Mountain Discovery Park is worthy of a place in the "Vegas Is Sun City " list. read more

I LOVE THIS PARK! Lone Mountain Discovery Park is a fantastic park right at the foot of Lone Mountain. This is the park that other parks want to be like! I'm so glad I found it accidentally. Here are the highlights of the park: 1. 4 separate playground areas. Each playground has its own feel as well, so it is a new experience at each one. There is one for little people with all appropriately sized playground equipment. This one is also completely fenced in, so the little ones can't escape and get into traffic. The second playground is for bigger kids and is open, so they can run wide and far. The third playground if for the little ones again and has a great shade structure covering the play area. The last playground is for the really big kids. It has awesome climbing webs, several balance types toys, and just funky fun things to play on. With so many different playgrounds, there is always a fun place to play that isn't too crowded. 2. Educational play areas! You won't see these right off the bat, so make sure you explore the far northern side of the park. They have all sorts of math equation walls & measurements, shapes to climb on, and giant map of the world. This whole area has so much crammed in that you know the kids have to be learning things just by playing in the area. 3. A big boulder to climb all over! This is in it's own little area and is surrounded by a soft form covering on the ground. The boulder has all sorts of hand and foot holds, so you can easily climb all over it like a monkey. 4. Lots of places to run! There are a couple nice flat areas to run wild or play ball or something like that. There is also an area that has all sorts of small hills, almost little bumps erupting from the ground that are super fun to run up and down. 5. Lots of seating areas. You never have to walk more than a minute to find a bench or a picnic table or even game tables in this park. This is great because my 2 year old wears me out and I need lots of breaks these days! There are beautiful secluded areas that you can sit and enjoy your surrounds, as well as giant picnic areas to host a party at. There are even a couple amphitheaters scattered around the place, if you wanted to do a little meeting, live music jam, or poetry reading. 6. There is a lot of parking scattered all around the park. This is awesome because the park has to be at least 1/2 mile long, if not longer. It is nice to par close to a certain area, especially if you are carrying a big load of stuff in for the day. 7. The park's location. It is located at the base of Lone Mountain which is automatically awesome. It is off of a small residential street (Jensen), so there isn't a lot of car traffic in the area, so it is nice and quiet. The surrounding neighborhood is on the fancier side, so the area is always clean, free of some of the negative things you find at some other parks, and you just know you will be safe and sound in this park, So if you want a fun park that is good for any age to play at, get to Lone Mountain Discovery Park today! read more

My husband and I got married at Lone Mountain Discovery Park April 24th, 2013. We were able to rent a large covered area for only $50 and the location was beautiful, the bathrooms were in a great location, the grass was well manicured and we had easy access to the playground and the trail! We were blessed with beautiful weather and a beautiful backdrop for our photos. read more
