Craig Ranch Regional Park

Great park and dog park. The park is clean, and beautiful. The farmers market needs help tho, but it’s coming along

This place is huge! No matter how crowded it is, it never really feels crowded, unless you are right next to the main playground. The loop is very long, probably a mile or maybe even longer. And there is so much grass everywhere you can find a place to hang out.
There is a skate park up front. Lots of things to climb on for the kids, slides, even a sand pit with water and a mini rock climbing wall. Tons of picnic tables and seriously anything you would want in a park, this place has it. It’s cleaner than you’d imagine (except once after a major holiday the restrooms were a disaster), and hardly any dog poop.
Speaking of dogs, there’s also dog parks too. Two large sides for the big dogs (they trade off sides) and a small side for the small dogs. Too bad the small dog side has less trees and shade though. There’s a dog wash outside the large dog side to clean and cool off your dog afterwards too.
Plenty of parking that loops all the way around the park so you can park near where you want to hang out. There’s also an amphitheater and they are expanding the area too.
But probably the most surprising thing about this park is the ponds don’t smell! Lots of water fowl and yes there is visible poop on some of the walkways, but it doesn’t smell. (I still have nightmares about the park at Aliante.)

My dogs love the dog park, so thankful the small dogs are kept away from the big dogs. Because my big dogs wouldn’t be able to enjoy themselves!

I think the city did a great job creating and segmenting the areas of this awesome park. I particularly like the fact that the skate park is always busy. In the handful of visits, I have seen police patrolling the grounds. I have always felt safe here, yet, it’s nice to see them.

Loved it! Best park for kids I’ve ever been to. The playground area for kids was wonderful, huge, extensive, something for everyone.

This is mostly about the skatepark. The largest and most popular skatepark in The Las Vegas Area. Features large mini ramp style bowls and two full-​size bowls. Has a capsule. Street area is mostly large blocks, stage, hand rails, hubbas, and a lot of ledges.
The park has lots of child play areas — some are broken, but the areas are well groomed. My favorite is the metal drums There are plenty of picnic tables, community gardens, and a pond.

I wish this spot were on my side of town, because this park is fantastic.
I ended up here because for some crazy reason I thought I could run a 5K enter the Insane Inflatable Race. This wasn’t just a 5K, but an obstacle course on steroids and fully equipped with bounce houses, rope climbing, giant ball pits, and snarky kids on razor scooters chastising me, as I gasped for air. This race was a lot fun and I do recommend people to try it out when it comes back to Vegas next year.
As we walked through the park both on our way to the race and sluggishly back to the car, I really noticed the layout of this awesome park. Built-​in stone playgrounds with Flintstone styled slides, a cushioned ground for safe landings, and manmade pond fully equipped with geese and a few ducks. I’m assuming this is what Sunset Park looked like before the picnicking masses decided to make this their permanent happy birthday dumping ground.
The parking situation here is vast so no matter where you decide to park, you’ll be within a few feet of some sweet park action. Day at the park, if it’s at Craig Ranch Regional Park, then count me in!

Since I am The Duchess of Craig Ranch Park my review is way past due. The review will be posted in sections as the park is large and has many different features.
The Small/​Medium Dog Park
I go almost daily and I have been a regular since it has opened. The only reason I go is that it is convenient however too many issues have come up and I am beginning to go to other parks. First of all there are three runs, the other two are reserved for large breed dogs. If you have a small dog be aware this is the only park in the valley that has a 35lb and under area, if you have a toy breed it may get stomped on by larger dogs because many owners push the limits. Some owners let their dogs chase after the small ones and often it is not play. This dog run was created with the park and there is very little shade during the summer. In fact, you will need to leave by 7am unless you want to be in the full sun. The other two runs have old trees and shade. I attempted to have the run moved, but the manager said this is how it is set. They did build a shade area and located in the gravel so during the summer your sandals will be full of rocks, your dog will be orange from the dust and late afternoon you will have a little shade. One of the large dog runs could have saved the city 14k because the trees were already there and the small shade structure would not be needed. There is not a lot of seating, and only one bench is shaded so bring a chair. Be aware that the blue benches have slotted seats, Henry is a medium size dog and his leg went through the slot and it was not easy to get him out of that predicament. So know if your dog jumps on the bench he or she might get hurt. There are three benches, one small concrete one with a small shade structure, a small square concrete slab. The dogs to pee on the corner so don’t touch your leg on the side, and one picnic bench. There are two dog fountains and two waste baskets and they keep them stocked but I always bring a couple of bags. Animal Control does not enforce the rules so know there are many dogs that are not fixed and I assume they have not had their shots. I am glad this park is close but they need to work on a few issues to make it better. The run is not huge, but then again you have a nice park to walk in.
More to come…

I came to this park for my first time not to long ago and i have to say its one of the biggest parks ive been to. Nicley made, bowls are perfect, and its hard to get bored there. One thing that usually pisses me off there tho is the slippery floors and the kind of people that go to the park section at night. Dont come in the mornings.

This park is awesome, has a big lagoon with ducks and turtles. I love that you can have a picnic and BBQ. My kids loves all the big creatures, bunny, snake, tarantula. There is a field of big tall fake flowers with kids bug rides then a sand big box like with a giant lizard that shoots water and it’s shaded it because on summer can get really hot. This park is just amazing. We love it !!! I’m surprise it don’t have 5 star 1000 reviews.

I guess its about time you all know why I keep coming to this park…
This park is my Absolute Favorite Park in Las Vegas! For one thing it is close to where I live, There are Tons of Parking, The Grounds are Kept Very Clean, its huge, and FREE WIFI! Yes, there is a Park with WIFI!!!
The last time I came here, the Amphitheater had been blocked off and was set to open very soon! I haven’t had a chance to take a look to see if it was open, but I’m sure it is! Located around the Amphitheater are of course Restroom Facilities, a Ticket Box Office, and a Man made Lake where there were Geese there (again, not sure if they are still there now).
There are also areas for I believe Sporting Activities, as well as a Skating Park! The Playground is also very clean, and the floors are lined with a very spongy, yet durable material so your Kiddies don’t get hurt.
There are also 2 more man-​made ponds located very close to the playground. I have on occasion, seen some turtles and, fish in those ponds. Yes, You can feed them! =)
Towards the back of the park you will find a Community Garden park & a Gated Dog Park and, of course More Parking!
This Park is again Very Beautiful and, Huge! There are lots of Shaded areas for Parties, or to get away from the Vegas heat in the Summertime. They have a few areas where you can BBQ for Parties, You may have to make a reservation (i think?) This is also a Great Spot or Joggers, like me! =)

Beautiful, wonderful park. My husband and I love coming here to walk and enjoy the weather. Sometimes we bring our dog because the grass area is perfect for playing. The park is always clean, well-​kept, and full of activity. We love it

Hands down my favorite park! I love all the tall trees, the green grass and the water area for kids to play! This park is HUGE! Recommend it for workouts and family parties. This park has it all!!! Skateboarding area, basketball courts, volleyball, tennis, baseball, dog park, garden, multiple kids playgrounds I mean it has it ALL!!!

Had an absolute blast at this park!
Was looking for a good park in the area to take our small dog and discovered that this one has designated area for large dogs and a separate area for smaller dogs.
The park is very well kept, it’s clearly newer, is quiet, and just beautiful!
We will undoubtedly visit this place again in the future as we were VERY impressed!

Love this park! Its fun for the kids and adults, working out and relaxing. Only thing is parking is far from the play ground won’t be able to see your car if your in that area.

We had scored our breakfast and located this big park. How green! How Lucious! How open! Very nice maintenance, clean and well trimmed. We were very happy and breakfast was great. A short walk and off we go to the our next destination — Valley of Fire — We are energized and excited!

This park is AWESOME! I saw it driving down Craig and saw that there was a Farmer’s Market that particular day so I had to stop. I was surprised at how big the park is. It has a couple ponds, a skate park, an amphitheater (which is still being built), a dog park, baseball fields and some tennis courts. Plus plenty of area for picnicking.
The Farmer’s Market was small, but I ended up getting some homemade body scrub, lotion and soap from one of the vendors. Another opportunity to support local businesses and I am all for it. I wish I lived closer, but I will definitely be back to enjoy some of the amenities this park has to offer!

I just moved to this area and wanted to check out some fun parks. This park has it all!
This park has a pretty big skate park. There were kids of all ages using skateboards, scooters etc. In different level jumps.
Different play areas for all ages, and themes. All kinds of things for the kids to climb and jump off of. The slides were fun hehe. There is a splash pad (not very big for the size of this park).
There is a volley ball area, basket ball area, baseball etc. There are substantial picnic areas… We really enjoyed this park! Definitely will have BBQs here.

WOW was I impressed! The park is bigger than I thought. I fell in love with an area that had chime gongs (if that is what you call them). The gong hammers were available in a few areas. The reason some were not available was due to vandalism! It was so upsetting to know the selfishness of vandals to destroy something beautiful. The joy of hearing the wonderful sounds was brilliant. I will even add a photo of my joyful self playing a tune. The farmers market is great and I bought wonderful organic produce. The community gardens are wonderful, if I were not moving I would definitely get one for me. I will return to farmers market for sure!

We live down the street, and have never taken the time to swing through this area — boy have we been missing out!
We came in for the Farmer’s Market. Along the way we saw an awesome skate park, two dog parks, they’re building an ampitheater, a picnic space, and tons of space. This park is C L E A N. There’s lots of people and you can tell they appreciate the area.
The Farmer’s Market was smaller than we expected, maybe 12 tents — but the offerings were great. Fresh veggies, coffee, soaps, teriyaki chicken bowls, raw honey and more. There was great music, the people were friendly — it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We’ll be back :)
