Red Ridge Park

This park can be nice but seems like it was let go. Cigarette buds everywhere and dirty falling apart playground. Water area to play in for kids needs some work the floor foam stuff was everywhere from sin damage.

Decent sized park with basketball courts, Frisbee golf area, ball fields, playgrounds, water feature and less of open grassy area to play. It has some nice picnic areas too. A decent size walking/​running trail runs around and through the park

1) 2 playgrounds with swings, gated
2) splash pad
3) lawn
4) shaded picnic tables and benches
5) bathrooms and water drinking fountains
6) bbq
7) clean!
8) Westside, near Ft. Apache and Arby

Park isn’t far from my house so I go there on my days off for my training runs/
I tend to «run the block» which takes me off the path and on the sidewalk/​street along the school on the Norh west corner of the park.
I find one loop is just under a mile, using my GPS watch. If you’re running the sidewalks and streets for the most part, you will find the east and west sides a slight incline/​decline and the north/​west sides flat. All and all a good running course,
I did recently do a partial lap along the path in the park and was happy to see they cut back, or removed, a bush that had grown half way over the path on a bend along the path. Before they did this, it seem dangerous for those using the path because you couldn’t see around the bush and if someone was running, or riding a bike, it could have lead to a bad collision.
Couple of real minor things. They have at times watered during the late mornings. Not really the best of times to do that since, people are using the park. They also, need to adjust some of the sprinkler heads. I have also seen staff use the blower to clean up leafs and just blown them into the street.
I also did a run where I ran out of water and just wanted a little bit to toss on myself to cool down a bit. Both drinking fountains I tried to use, didn’t work. Not sure if they had been turned off because of the water issue we are facing, or if they just did not work.

Disc Golf Course, Great for running, lots of families and dogs! I love this park!!!
Includes a sprinkler/​water fun area for kids, 2 playgrounds, 2 baseball courts, full disc golf course with 9 – 10 holes, half basketball court and picnic areas! When guests are in town, it’s a great place to walk around on a nice day :)

This park in my neighbourhood has everything this community could ask for. It has two baseball diamonds, a disc golf course, basketball hoops, a playground for the kids and covered picnic tables for those who love BBQing in the park and walking trail. This park is well maintained and great for family gatherings.

This is a great cozy park. Has a nice walking trail and plenty of room to play with your dogs. The jungle gym is just like any other park and is very nice. The baseball diamonds are great for team ball sports. They have a basketball court that sometimes gets crowded but over all it’s a great place to play. They also have a frisbee course for those that like that.
This park is a great family park.

New to the area and I love this park! Has a large grassy area where we’ve been taking our retriever. Playground looks clean and has a water feature for hot Vegas summer.

I used to live next to this park when it was first built (2008ish?) anyways its gone wayyyy down hill! Trash everywhere!!! Even older parks like desert breeze or even angel park are kept up better than this!

Great big open space. I met a couple of really nice friendly welcoming people. More importantly my little chihuahua met a couple of well behaved friends. The park is very clean, parking is not an issue. We will definitely be back!

Regarding the play area — Yikes! One of the slides is cordoned off. The rubber turf is missing in deep holes on the playground surface causing tripping hazards for children and parents alike.
The rubber has peeled off in sheets in the water area, revealing exposed concrete that is VERY slippery when wet. Another hazard greater than the first — heads on concrete is NO BUENO! This is the third County park I’ve noticed major playground hazards (safety concerns greater than a little graffiti or dirty equipment) in the last month. C’mon, get it together!

The park is a pretty decent size and has a baseball field, basketball court, walking trail, and plenty of grass to play in. They also have some sort of frisbee golf game I still have yet to try.

I played disc golf here for the first time on Saturday.
As a 9 hole course, it goes pretty quickly, even for newbies like me who can’t throw their discs very far.
My friends and I played twice, and had a blast. The course is nice, and the park is lovely.
My complaint? The guy walking around playing golf on the disc golf course. Like… real golf. I personally don’t want to worry about getting clocked in the head by a golf ball when I’m throwing my discs.

Oh Red Ridge, how you have let me down. Well not you, but the people who live near you.
So, we were SO excited watching this park being built. We are a nice 10 minute walk away. The first couple years, it was great. We have been to and had parties here. The water feature was great, park was great… it was all… GREAT!
Now?!? UGH! The GHETTO neighbors have treated this park like their own personal garbage can. Every time we have gone there are many many children using the black plastic bags (provided for dog poop) to cover the drains in the water park, so it will overflow. Then they leave, literally, dozens of black bags everywhere. Every table and bench is sticky and disgusting, things in the park are broken from misuse, covered up and then still used by kids who have zero parental supervision.
As bad as all the is, the kicker was our trip this evening. Last night was 4^th of July and there were dozens and dozens and dozens of HUGE fireworks covering the entire field. It looked like a city fireworks display that some group brought to the park, had a fun holiday and then LEFT ALL THE TRASH THERE! Just covering half of the field where the kids have soccer games and sports practice. I just can’t believe what kind of people would do something like that.
So good news, if you are trashy and let your kids run wild and treat the world like your personal garbage can, you will LOVE this park and meet a ton of like-​minded people! For the rest of us civilized people, there is always exploration park in Mountains Edge.

Red Ridge Park is literally a 10 min stroll from my condo. I will be moving soon and I will miss my frequent visits to this park. When in my hardcore fitness kick, I would run around the park and gauge my distance since 1 lap around the exterior of the park is close to a mile. As other mentioned, two sides are slightly up hill and the other two sides are flat= nice easy run. I also enjoy that it is well lit at night and I always felt safe running by myself.
The park features a small water park for kids, large play area for older kids, smaller play area for younger kids (see pics), basketball courts, and a baseball diamond (see pic). The park is always busy, but I never really felt crowded. You will always see people walking, playing with their dogs, or enjoying a sunny day with a picnic.
They just started to build houses directly across from this park. The Dunhill homes start at around 200K for the base price and the neighborhood is growing. They’re worth taking a look at if you like the Southwest area. Views of the park would be nice compared to views of other homes. The new Wet n Wild Water Park is close by, too.
The one thing I wish they had… an enclosed dog park like some other parks I travel to visit.

I really enjoy this park. It’s close to my house but easy to get to from 215 on the west side from either Durango or the Sunset exit. It’s got a great childrens play area, many picnic tables with shade and a couple of Baseball/​Softball fields. The public restooms are usually open and clean as well.
I like to do my Cardio here because it has an sidewalk that wraps around the outside and measures almost exactly a mile. It’s plenty wide enough when you pass people going the other way, no need to step off onto the grass to get around.
This park also boasts a «Disk Golf» course. It’s only half a course (9 holes) and I haven’t tried it yet but it looks like a lot of fun. They seem to use a special kind of Frisbee though and I’m not sure where to pick them up. But would be a great way to get some exercise, enjoy the outdoors and people/​dog watch.

Frisbee Golf anyone? Or I suppose the technical term is Disc Golf. This park has 9 holes that equate to 3588 ft. long. So a quick and easy game, that is unless the wind picks up. I have yet to actually play here golf here, but I’ve been wanting to. UYE anyone?
This is the closest park to my home, (please don’t stalk me). I stumbled upon it looking for somewhere to get some steps in, out in the great outdoors. It’s located at the intersection of Arby Ave. and El Capitan Way, next to an elementary school, tucked behind a neighborhood. There’s a walking trail all around the outside that measures 1.1 miles (I tracked it). .So it’s a convenient way to keep track of distance if you’re like me and that’s important to you. It can be crazy busy on the weekends but weekday mornings and mid afternoons it’s a nice place to catch a breath of fresh air.
For a small park it has something for everyone: They have 2 baseball fields, where you’ll often see kids playing on the weekends. There’s also a playground for the littler kids. There are a ton of park benches, 4 or 5 pavilions, a large open grassy area for touch football, tag, red rover or whatever else you fancy.

A great park for the kiddos and the dog. We’ve been coming for a few years now and really appreciate the fireworks show they put on for the 4^th of July here.

There’s one main reason why I enjoy coming to this park compared to the others, there’s rarely anyone here and it’s large enough to let my dog off his leash to run freely.
There’s a small semi-​fenced play area for the kiddos and the rest of the park is just a large field. Great for playing football, frisbee, or soccer. There’s also a fenced off field… this is embarrassing but I forgot what sport it was for because I honestly pay no attention and head straight for the open field as soon as I get here.
There’s a sidewalk built along the whole field and runs slight just under a mile so definitely a great place to get a good jog in. This is also one of the locations for Boot Camp Las Vegas –

This is a nice, small park that I only discovered recently. It has picnic gazebo thingies, a basketball court, a softball field, and a pretty nice looking kids playground. I even went here last night to do some lightning photography from underneath one of the gazebos.
The reason I first came here a couple of weeks ago was to play a round of frisbee golf. The course is a compact 9-​hole affair. If you look at the park from above on Google Maps, you’d think it was a real golf course. What I mean is, the course design has well-​defined fairways and the holes meander back and forth like switchbacks on a trail.
Unlike other frisbee golf courses, the area is separated from the rest of the park. This is good and bad. It’s good because you don’t have to worry so much about hitting people who are enjoying the park for other purposes. It’s bad because that makes it a single-​use area of land. Other courses try to work around the park that already exists. But I digress. That’s really a philosophical thing.
The course is young, so the trees are still new and I found it to be quite easy. Put it this way. I haven’t played in years and I was able to get an even score over the nine holes. As the trees grow and mature, there will be more obstacles and those narrow fairways will become a bigger factor in the game.
