Silver Bowl Park

I’ve been going to this rather large park regularly several times a week since I moved into the nearby area 13yrs​.ago​.It was Great till last year when they put up an expensive, very tall, menacing, iron spiked fence ! You think they could have done something more constructive with the tax payers money ! While it was being put up I attempted to contact the City Council with no response of course as to why this was being done. I also contacted CH.13 who did an interview with me at the park regarding the installation of this fence that looked very much to keep people out ! It obviously was too little too late to have any real effect ! Now they’ve split the park in thirds with the fence and have at least one third or more of the park locked at ALL times ! They also took out the baseball/​softball diamonds so no more of that ! It appears they Only cater to the soccer tournament crowd now ! So much for a public park to be used and enjoyed by everyone ! The only part that’s accessible to everyone anymore is the kiddy area !

Great little place to go running. The park for the kids isn’t great. There’s a trail and lots if space.

As of today Clark County bureaucrats have raped this park, and stolen it from the people.
Just a few days ago, New Silver Bowl Park was a 150-​acre open grassy field in which you and I were free to run, play frisbee, play tag football, walk your dog, play the drums, have a picnic. But the idea of a unfenced park is intolerable to bureaucrats. Today, at a cost of $ 1.2 million, they are installing menacing 9 foot high metal spike fencing around the entire park — not merely chain-​link fencing but the kind of fencing you would expect to find at a prison, military base, or the Berlin Wall.
At best, if you are physically challenged and can’t walk long distances you’ll have to hike hundreds of yards to find an opening in the fence. At worst, you’ll have to use the park at a time and place when your civil masters deign to unchain one of the few openings in the fence.
None of the photos on this page reflect current reality at this park. When the fence is complete maybe I will post new ones.

I am NOT a fan of this park. At this point in the fall, the grass is completely dead. It gets everywhere when you walk on it. I am sure that the kids practicing here who fall on it are not enjoying it at all! I am not sure why, but they are putting fences up around and through the park. Why would you purposefully divide a park? It makes no sense. The only thing, and I mean ONLY thing, that I like about this park is that in putting the fencing in and making changes, they have flattened out some of the dirt lots, which make it easier for driving. If someone asked me if they should have their sports practice times there, I would tell them that there has to be a better place out there!

Seems I have been here many times over the past couple of weeks but as my memory recalls I used to come out her and watch my brother play rugby back in the day.
Huge spaces to enjoy whatever outdoor activity suites your fancy. Wether it be throwing something, flying a kite or RC car racing. Silver Bowl park has the facilities to do it.
My one recommendation is be sure to take all valuables with you and make sure you lock your car.

Soccer fields, softball fields, and a playground in a big safe area! Love it!
